“DSM 7.1 is an important evolution for one of the most widely used data management platforms in the industry,” said Shamrock Ko, system product management team manager. “Building on the solid foundation we set with 7.0, we can now focus on addressing the more specific challenges that our customers identify during their day-to-day use of the platform.
The new user interface introduced in 7.0 has been further optimized by consolidating background tasks into an administrator-friendly overview.
