End of Life Policy
FieldTwin, which is a cloud based PaaS Open Energy Platform powered by the FieldTwin API with a series of SaaS applications on top uses the following product life cycle policy:
Version Releases
FutureOn typically issue up to 2 major releases and several minor maintenance releases in a single year ensuring constant evolution of our product portfolio. The roadmap is updated and published quarterly. Every version released has a set of release notes with browser requirements. These are provided 2 weeks in advance of any release. Customer always selects service window for any upgrade to take place. All FieldTwin data is stored in JSON format, which is both machine and human readable allowing for easy migration. FutureOn data is always backwards compatible for FutureOn products to support long lifecycle management.
