2020. It has been one heck of a year. To put it simply, 2020 was not a year in which STR Software hit every goal we’d hoped. Even so, it was still a strong year! Like many of our clients, we weathered a host of adverse events and found creative, if not humorous ways to come out on top.
Now that 2020 is all said and done, we feel fortunate and grateful.
We have a truly fantastic team of talented developers, support engineers, and customer success managers who are all dedicated to caring for our clients.
We cannot thank our customers enough for another successful year. We believe AventX is a critical component to effectively running your businesses. And that belief was affirmed throughout the rollercoaster year of 2020 by clients renewing technical support and providing great suggestions to improve our software.
From the beginning, our executive team understood the gravity of this global pandemic and encouraged the entire staff to work from home. Despite all the ups and downs, we persisted toward our goals and were able to continue to bring value to you through excellent customer service and new product improvements.

Okay. Enough of the sappy, end of year stuff! Let’s close out 2020 with a list of the product improvements we’ve been working on for the last six months.
Cheers to turning the page on 2020. Here’s to an even better 2021!
Document Delivery Improvements
NEW Configuration Interface for AventX Core Functionality
With a focus on heavier use of the Self-Service interface, Oracle is slowly moving away from Forms with each new release of EBS. As a result, we’ve begun the redesign of crucial configuration Forms for a post-Forms world. The New HTML-based configuration pages offer users a fresh, simple-to-use application to configure AventX. As we begin this migration in v20.4.00, the following are now available in both Forms and Self-Service: Delivery Status, General Configuration, Attachment Printing, Printers, Translation Server, Web Attachment Types, and License Keys. This new functionality can be accessed from within Oracle EBS or externally via a standalone login page.

Dynamically Save & Name Signed DocuSign Files
Customers using AventX for DocuSign enjoy the benefits of automated delivery of documents for eSignature—this means faster, more accurate deliveries with quicker responses. However, users still had to undertake the manual process of retrieving the signed document (via email or the DocuSign portal) and saving the file using the appropriate naming convention. With this release, AventX for DocuSign can now automatically retrieve the file from DocuSign, dynamically change the file name, and save it to a local or network file folder.

Digital Print Now Supports SharePoint Online
The Digital Print feature, first announced in Spring 2019, was suggested by a client that wanted an alternative way to complete a work packet without printing. Users still needed to access work packets from Oracle eAM, a mobile device, or other eAM integration; however, the feature was expanded beyond the eAM module. It now supports any Oracle EBS module. And now also supports saving of the reports with attachments to SharePoint Online. Users who now want to “print” a report with attachments to the Oracle EBS record can now do so automatically with a URL attachment to both SharePoint and SharePoint Online.

Improved Operating Stability
For most companies, AventX for Oracle EBS is a mission-critical application with no downtime tolerance. We understand this and have redoubled our efforts to ensure the AventX solution provides a stable platform with the highest delivery rates possible. To ensure fast and efficient delivery, we have historically taken a more conservative approach to stop processing on many common system errors. Unfortunately, this was sometimes at the expense of uptime. Release v20.4.00 aims to improve this, and the system now provides the same great delivery rates in a more resilient manner. What does this mean? Well, simply put, AventX users can expect fewer failures that result in support tickets. Plus, in the rare scenarios when the application does go down, it can be configured to restart automatically and send email alerts.
