ROADMAP

Our maintenance and support services are provided for the major versions of our products. As part of the maintenance cycle, the major versions receive a number of minor updates focusing on enhancing existing basic product features and providing limited new features, as well as remedying bugs. Interfaces are only extended in a way that ensures they remain compatible, or modified in the case of problems.

What's more, advanced support (LTS – Long-Term Support) can be purchased for the major versions. This provides updates for serious security loopholes and includes minor maintenance for KIX Pro versions where the mainstream support has been discontinued.

Version 18 of KIX

During the 6th user conference in November 2018, we presented the new version of our KIX product range, comprising KIX Start, KIX Pro, and KIX Cloud. Since then, it has developed into an intuitive and adaptable solution for technical service. It provides all key basic features for enabling you to work more efficiently and increase service quality – straight out of the box. 

KIX Cloud always contains the latest KIX Pro version as the basis to ensure it is always covered by the mainstream support. The releases are published regularly every 4 to 6 weeks. The update service, which is included, imports them automatically into the respective clouds, which eliminates the need for manual imports.
