After many months of polishing, the next version of PreEmptive’s Runtime Intelligence portal was rolled out for Runtime Intelligence for Windows Phone 7 users late Sunday night. In the coming weeks, the new portal infrastructure will be released for our commercial Runtime Intelligence customers as well. The underlying infrastructure has been rebuilt from the ground up to provide better performance, reliability, and security. On the surface however, the functionality and look & feel of the portal remain mostly the same. Notable changes include:
- Portal performance is improved. Additionally, load times should not be affected by factors such as the range of data being examined.
- The metrics surfaced on each dashboard are more useful, consistent, and intuitive.
- Some calculations were made more accurate (for example, average session duration is now calculated across only completed sessions).
- Better and more compatible dashboard widgets.
- SSL encryption is now mandatory for sensitive operations such as login, and optionally available across the entire site (just use https:// instead of http://).
- Expanded browser compatibility.
- Many visual and usability improvements to refine the user experience.
We’ve spent a lot of time refining the portal, and we think that we’ve come up with something that works well, looks good, and addresses many of the concerns that we’ve heard from the community. Of course, we know that this is a continuous process and there’s still plenty to do. To that end, we welcome your feedback. Love it? Hate it? Something not quite right? Comment on this blog entry, post a message on our forum, or tweet us @PreEmptive. Anything you write will go directly to those of us on the Runtime Intelligence portal development team, and if your suggestion is a good one you can look forward to seeing it implemented in a future portal update.
