Oracle has unveiled a new release strategy, with cloud and hybrid cloud delivery of regular updates that require minimal evaluation and testing. Each year, the company has plans to evaluate and extend support timelines.

For customers, this model provides a longer support window, continuous product enhancements, and choice about whether to apply new features.

### **What It Means for Customers**

- Twelve new user roles with related role-based content, in asset management, human resources, maintenance, and production. Enhancements were made to the project managers and property managers roles. New navigational capacity was added to other roles, too.
- Additional mobile barcode scanning enhancements
- Mobile watchlists
- Mobile time entry
- Single sign-on
- Additional ERP enhancements to batch load confirmation, expense entry, service management, capital asset management, project costing, contract and service billing, and business process modeling.
