HTML-5 – must be web-based experienceNo client; what users expect – UI will be familiar to any current user of web appsEases administrationEases development; developers can draw on more resources
Modular means 2 things:Organizations may not want all components (i.e. no mail)Need to be able to plug in external components
Great mobile experience is requiredHTML-5 Provides parity across devicesReduces development overhead… Which means more features, better quality
Scalability remains critical to the success of FirstClassThis is why FCWS is being delivered on ApacheFor very large sites, multiple FCWS instances may be clusteredOpenText is also looking to FC12 to drive product growth in the marketplace
Bridge gap between client & communities
As of yesterday, OpenText indicated that release is on-schedule for a May releaseThis will be FirstClass 12.0; additional features will be coming in service packs and 12.1
New Server is required to support FCWSNew IS and Desktop Client will focus on performance improvements & bug fixes; functionally similar to 11FCWS is the significant, new component
Service Packs for the highest-priority items (those that could not be completed in time for the FC12 release) will be released as soon as possible, likely this summer.12.1 will likely ship late Fall, 2013
If adding FCWS to a server running other FC components, should have capacity to allocate minimum of 1 CPU and 2GB RAM.Field data will need to be gathered to refine this recommendationMore will certainly be required for large sitesUse of Virtualization allows easy increases to CPU and memory; likely a good choice for FCWS
