New 2024.1 versions of all Keypro products now released

Keypro proudly announces the immediate general availability of the latest iteration of its entire Network Information System (NIS) product suite. This includes a brand new 2024.1 version of KeyCom for Telecoms and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), KeyAqua for water utilities, KeyHeat for district heating providers and KeyLight for street light network owners and municipalities.

New year, new version numbering

New software releases from Keypro are now numbered using the release year. The now released 2024.1 marks the first (1) major release of 2024. We believe this change will help customers keep up with our ambitious pace of releases and make our release plans easier to follow going forward.

"The renewed version numbering of Keypro software products symbolizes the new, faster paced, era we have entered. An era where we continuously bring new innovations to our customers and make them available on a quarterly basis. The 2024.1 release is the first of planned four releases this year, all bringing new capabilities to our NIS platform.” says Tony Virtanen, Vice President of Product Management at Keypro and continues "A number is still just a number, the key take away is that our pace of innovation is increasing.”

• Full KeyWork functionality with e.g. maintenance rounds supported in KeyAqua
• Enhanced content management tools in the Citizen Interface portal enabling richer communication towards consumers
