::Major Software Release: New Toolbar and Enhanced
Site Performance
Bizzuka development staff, under the leadership of
John Olivier, VP of Systems and Development, have just
completed a major, long-anticipated software release. In
fact, it's one of the most comprehensive Bizzuka has ever attempted.
John and his team worked extremely hard to ensure our customers
experienced no down-time or inconvenience.
The release covered two main areas:
- Updated administrative toolbar and accompanying
buttons
- Significant performance enhancements
The decision to create a new toolbar was
based on two factors, design and function. "The design of
the previous toolbar had become outdated and outgrown," said Shannon
Lynd, Senior VP of Production. "We needed something that not only
had a more contemporary look, but that functioned better as
well."
The second part of the release had to do
with performance enhancements. "Our developers went under
the hood of our platform and made modifications that significantly
reduced server load and increased download speed and overall site
performance," stated John Olivier. "All reports from the production
team indicate that the sites are MUCH faster and more reliable."
Bizzuka CEO John Munsell called this one of the
"best product releases ever at Bizzuka, and we are very appreciative
of the work done by the development team."
