Sapphire R4.4 is available immediately. As an added benefit to current maintenance & support customers, LabVantage also announced that it will perform free virtual installations and upgrades of Sapphire on any licensed server.

As with previous versions of Sapphire, this release features a user-friendly interface enabling quick end user acceptance and training.

With functionality spanning from R&D through manufacturing, all on one enterprise platform, Sapphire offers IT organizations the ability to support only one complete solution, rather than multiple point systems. Moreover, Sapphire’s open architecture and API enable easy integration with third party systems, instruments, databases, and other business applications.
