Are You Running an Older Version of Datalog?


Did you know that since Cortech was established in 1992 we have released and developed 5 major versions of our flagship software, Datalog.

Are You Running an Older Version of Datalog?

Currently, our latest version, Datalog 5.2, provides integration with a range of 3rd party technologies that optimises your workplace safety, security and building efficiency, increasing operator’s situational awareness and accountability while reducing risks.

Though out each version of Datalog we will have released frequent minor updates to the software, with the intention to:

  • fix any known issues
  • update and keep pace with any operating system changes
  • add minor software enhancements and compatibility
  • improve application speed/performance

When we launch and release a new, upgraded version of Datalog, such as 5.2, it is because we have improved the technology, added new features and functions, and it is intended to supersede the previous version of Datalog completely.

Datalog 5.2, our most current software was released because we can no longer effectively support some of the older versions as they are no longer compatible with the latest hardware and operating systems users have access to.

Running old, outdated, and obsolete versions of any software can put your site and organisation at risk and to reduce these risks it is vital that you upgrade to the latest version. Outdated software is more vulnerable to cyber-attacks as they do not normally have the latest security updates running and installed.

With upgrades often comes new features. Users could be missing a new feature that could help to simplify a process, create insight into data that may not have been accessible prior and more. In many cases, there are also significant improvements to features that you are already using.

Upgrading systems sounds expensive, however, the truth is that older systems have more issues – and consequently more costs. The cost of disruption caused by unstable systems and software can very quickly escalate to more than it would cost to invest in an upgraded system.

If you believe you are running an outdated version of Datalog at one of your sites and would like to discuss the possibilities of upgrading to the latest version, then contact your Account Manager or email sales@cortech.co.uk.
