Tentative SOAPware Product Release Plans

SOAPware 2010 Pre-Release - The SOAPware version that has been in development throughout 2009. It is much more stable and faster than SOAPware 2008 and contains an enhanced prescription manager. Likely to be released in 2009.

SOAPware 2010 – This is the SOAPware version containing the complete e-prescribing tools that includes forumulary, eligibility and histories of prescriptions filled. Likely to be released in early 2010, but release is dependent on testing and number of cycles through quality control.

SOAPware 2010 + Billing - This will contain our integrated billing system in addition to everything in the earlier 2010 releases. Likely to be released in early 2010, but release is dependent on testing and number of cycles through quality control.



Comment:
In February, we had basically completed major development on SOAPware 2009 except for the enhanced electronic prescribing. Creating the most efficient and useful e-prescribing interface, considering all the current and near future requirements (has been a moving target), added many more months to the cycle than we have anticipated.
Quality Control issues have also caused us to delay the release of what has been called SOAPware 2009. This version has addressed hundreds of issues that are present in SOAPware 2008, and is currently a far superior product to SOAPware 2008. There are still quality issues to address, but it is so much better than 2008 that we need to proceed with a release, this will be the 2010 Pre-Release.
This past week, we officially completed certification for the advanced e-prescribing capabilities, but this is a huge development branch that now needs merging into SOAPware 2009.
We are at the alpha stage with our integrated billing product, but this is also a huge development branch that now needs merging into SOAPware 2009.
Each time a development branch is merged, there can be quality issues, so we intend to take a stepped approach as above.
