What's New in 4.30?

Welcome to the ebs 4.30 release, our second major release of 2019. This release sees us focus on statutory updates for our UK markets. However, there are features and defect fixes included that are relevant to all our customers and markets.

In .GOV Notify, we have a new SMS provider supported in ebs from 4.30. All of our UK-based councils and public bodies will be able to access this service and receive a minimum of 25,000 free SMS messages per year, so it is well worth exploring if it is not something that you are aware of.

The ebs Online Help continues to develop with a good percentage of our traditional PDF documentation converted to the online help pages. We encourage all users to explore the Online Help website and utilise the search functions. All changes are documented in the release notes, which we recommend all customers read, as they contain key information with regards to product updates and how you can make use of them.

We encourage all customers who have not adopted functionality in previous releases to review release packs for all recent major releases to ensure that they are making the most of ebs functionality.

We would like to thank all customers who provide feedback to us and we look forward to engaging with you further as we shape our next releases of ebs.
