Release 2023.6.0 on Saturday, July 15, 2023 represents the sixth production release of 2023.  This is a major release for BrightMove and contains a roll up of most of the work coming from Q2 of this year.  This release contains a significant upgrade to the BrightMove Back Office module, the deployment of new integration capabilities with the Wisdom data platform, the release of a new user type to support executive level business reviews with your customers, several customer-identified workflow enhancements, a major cloud infrastructure optimization and a few bug fixes.

BrightMove Back Office

In this release, we are delivering a major upgrade to the BrightMove Back Office module.  These new capabilities have come directly from customer feedback and request.  This is the biggest upgrade to Back Office since BrightMove originally released the first generation of it's QuickBooks Desktop integration in 2015.

In addition to direct integration with your company's accounting system, Back Office includes 3 core features:

• A robust product & services catalog management system of the items your company sells
• Integrated workflows that allow your recruiting & sales team to realize fees naturally through the course of their work
• A powerful & customizable invoicing engine to generate invoices for your accounts receivable business process

If your business uses QuickBooks Online for it's accounting and general ledger system, BrightMove Back Office may be perfect for your organization!

Note: To use the BrightMove Back Office module, it must be licensed and enabled for your company.  If you would like to setup the Back Office module, or you would like to learn more about the capabilities, please contact Customer Success.  BrightMove Back Office is available to our Advanced and Enterprise Edition subscribers.  You can initiate a request by emailing support@brightmove.com.

Wisdom Integration

Wisdom is the modern data & advanced analytics platform from BrightMove.  We introduced Wisdom in November 2022, and with this release, it becomes generally available to all of our customers.  Wisdom is scalable, cloud-based data platform that can process billions of records in less than a second.

Ad Hoc Reporting

In this release, we have migrated core ad hoc reporting services to the Wisdom Platform.  The key benefit of this migration reduces ad hoc reporting latency from approximately 1 day down to approximately 1 hour.  Additionally, this migration provides a foundation for more advanced reporting and analytics services in the future to benefit our customers.  Ad hoc reporting on Wisdom is available to customers in all subscription levels of BrightMove.

Recruiting Data Platform as a Service

In this release, we are delivering new capabilities to enable the Wisdom Recruiting Data Platform as a Service directly within your ATS instance.  These new capabilities allow our subscribers to deploy custom data warehouse, dashboards and business intelligence solutions and make them available to your employees & customers.

Note: To use the Wisdom Recruiting Data Platform as a Service, it must be licensed and enabled for your company.  If you would like to learn more about Wisdom, please contact Customer Success.  Wisdom is available to our Advanced and Enterprise Edition subscribers.  You can initiate a request by emailing support@brightmove.com.

Executive User Type

In this release, we are making a new user type available to customers with a valid subscription.  The Executive User Type is a new class of user which has read-only access and provides the ability to view reports and dashboards.  This user type can be used to conduct business reviews and share cross-instance insights with the leadership teams of your company and your customers' companies.  For more information on this new user type, please contact Customer Success by emailing support@brightmove.com
