STARYS-Manager V1.27 released!
22-October-2007

We are proud to announce that we have just released the 5th upgrade for STARYS-Manager!

With Version V1.27, as with V1.26, we focused largely on what our clients wanted in additional functionality.

  • Password security: In STARYS-Administrator, users can now set a number of options to strengthen (or to relax) password requirements to suit their company policy. Password length, type of characters required, number of days until expiry, number of failed logins are just a couple of the new password security options you can choose from.
  • NOVELL GroupWise: Similar to how we interact with Microsoft OUTLOOK, alerts, emails, reminders and meetings can now also be scheduled with NOVELL GroupWise. While GroupWise is not quite as compatible as OUTLOOK, this feature is already successfully used with some of our clients.
  • Changing Databases: A feature that we especially designed for consultants is that you can now create and access multiple databases with STARYS-Manager. This allows consultants to create and tailor a database for each of their clients.
  • Windows VISTA: STARYS-Manager is now compatible with Windows VISTA

How do I upgrade?

Upgrades to V1.27 are for free for all clients who participate in the STARYS-Support & Maintenance Program.

The new STARYS-IncidentManager (SIM) will be fully integrated with the existing risk management and document control modules and will allow you to comply with Standards such as AS/NZS1885.1

Even more so, in the tradition of our existing products, the new SIM will be extremely flexible and allow your employees to manage any type of incident: OH&S, environmental or quality issues, customer complaints, financial issues or any other incident; the SIM can be tailored to your needs.

Implementing the STARYS-IncidentManager will enable you to:

  • analyze incident trends and the effectiveness of risk and incident mitigation programs

  • create reports to satisfy internal and external notification needs

The STARYS-IncidentManager will trigger user-definable alerts and notifications depending on incident type and severity as well as automatically providing the user with the relevant incident recording forms or response procedures.

A summary of the new features of the Incident Management System are:

  • Capable to handle any type of incident (OH&S, environmental, quality issues, financial etc.)

  • Easy-to-follow incident management process

  • Automated notifications depending on incident type and severity
