Track-It! 2021 is the latest release of our completely redesigned, browser-based platform. This release is the result of many years of combined experience of product experts from BMC infused with direct feedback from Track-It! customers along the way. This is certainly not like any Track-It! version you have used before… and, yet it is. Even with a completely new interface and greatly enhanced feature set, there is still that ease of use you know and love. The Track-It! user interface is elegant and welcoming, like reuniting with an old friend. A lot has changed but the intuitiveness and ease of use make navigating the product feel familiar.
We are incredibly excited to bring you this release and all the benefits it includes. This new platform refreshes the Track-It! visual user experience and includes a great deal more flexibility and functionality than ever before. It also provides a platform which we can build upon more rapidly, allowing us to shift to a more frequent release cycle. That means you are not only getting a brand-new product, you will also be seeing new functionality and feature enhancements on a regular basis. And the best part; this major upgrade is completely free to Track-It! customers on active maintenance. We are also excited to bring you a Free Track-It! Video Training Series to help you get up to speed quickly on the new release.
Now for more of the details. The list below includes some of the major highlights and improvements available in Track-It! The Track-It! platform is being developed in phases so not all the functionality from Track-It! 11 is available in the new platform yet.
