Selerant  announces the release of DevEX 2.0 . The innovative web-based product development software, DevEX, breaks the barriers of traditional methodology to empower corporations to introduce safer, high quality products to market faster. The next generation of WinCHEM, DevEX provides numerous enhancements while building upon a more flexible foundation. Utilizing a web-based interface and intuitive design, users across all departments can immediately access and navigate the application, providing instant value to implementation.

    "More than just a release of enhancements, this is an entirely new vision of PLM and how our clients will be implementing in the future. We partnered with our current clients as well as listened to what progressive leaders in the industry had to say. We also took our expertise with what we know about formulation, regulatory, and our technology architecture and built a vision of expediting products to market not just from concept, but much earlier on," commented Carlo Colombo, Selerant's CEO

    In their clients' race to bring products to market before their competition, Selerant continually innovates to bring its best for them. The usability enhancements can be significantly attributed to DevEX being built on the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 platform, enabling DevEX to run rich web-based applications. The developers dramatically extended the service-oriented architecture for web services to allow even greater integration, connectivity, and communication between systems.

    Utilizing years of individual expertise as well as incorporating insight from leaders in the formula-based manufacturing industry, Selerant recognized a clear need to propel Product Lifecycle Management into the next generation with more robust tools, greater integration, increased scalability and more effective reports. Colombo is referring to the implementation and adaptation stages. These stages can take time with some software packages. "DevEX 2.0 has taken several usability features and adapted them with architecture, configurations, reports, as well as dramatic robust formulation tools to create a significantly intuitive experience for the user," says Colombo.
