Every great builder knows that a solid foundation is essential for constructing something that lasts. This principle is just as crucial for the software that powers your business.
At Databuild, we are committed to providing you with the best tools to ensure your continued success. To receive the best possible service and functionality, all Databuild users will need to update to version 2.71, as this release is crucial for the future transition to a modernised version.
As per our announcement last year, we’re currently finalising a major investment to modernise our codebase. This will enable cloud-based and mobile-friendly ways of working, and eliminating outdated software dependencies, ensuring a robust and flexible platform for years to come.
