Provideam v3.6 Released

August 19, 2009

We are delighted to announce that Provideam v3.6 is now released. This release has taken slightly longer than anticipated but I’m sure you will agree that the new functionality is worth the wait.

Updating your Provideam installation to the latest release helps to protect your Provideam investment and ensures that the product will continue to run even when operating systems and browsers are upgraded.
