Continuous Delivery Model

Costpoint 7.1.1, Budgeting and Planning 7.0, and Time and Expense 10.0 have moved to a "Continuous Delivery Model" where new features and enhancements are released incrementally on top of the existing versions without requiring customers to upgrade to a major, minor, or maintenance release as often.

New enhancements will be made available through DSM after development and testing are complete. These software changes can be applied the same way that hot fixes, regulatory updates, and cumulative updates are currently applied, through a combination of system jar and application level changes. Some features may require a new license, some may be enabled through a control/configuration setting, and others such as an increase to a field size in the database will be immediately enabled once the changes are applied.

Although each enhancement includes release notes, the online help is only periodically updated to reflect these changes. If you use hosted help, you will see these changes as they become available. If you do not use hosted help, we recommend that you install periodic help updates. These updates are also available from DSM. You will receive an alert when a new help installer is available.

Attention: For more information on the Costpoint Continuous Delivery model you may refer to KB article # 81289, or also see DeltekCostpoint711ContinuousDeliveryModelWhitePaper.pdf, available from DSM.
