WEBCON > The latest version

WEBCON BPS 2017 brings forward plenty of features and improvements that help deliver results even faster than before and adapt to change seamlessly – regardless of whether you are just getting started, or already manage dozens of business applications.

WEBCON BPS 2017 R3

Release date: 2018/01/26

Current build: 2017.1.3.154

The latest version of WEBCON BPS 2017 marked as R3, introduces new capabilities to ensure organizations adapt to the new requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will affect most data-related processes. These are, for example:

Identification of processes that are a dictionary of personal data (e.g., applicant or contact person cards, etc.), to enable:
- transparent management of access to personal data dictionaries,
- efficient editing of personal data (the right to rectify data),
- removal/pseudonymization of personal data (the so-called “right to be forgotten”);
Identification of processes, as well as individual fields on forms (attributes) that store personal data, to ensure:
- the possibility of automatic pseudonymization or deletion of given personal data (the so-called “right to be forgotten”),
- the possibility of restricting the visibility of personal data, and even of selected fields, to certain individuals/groups (the so-called Privacy by Design);
Specification of fields containing sensitive data, to allow:
- creating separate visibility rules for sensitive data (so-called Privacy by Design);
Pseudonymization/deletion of personal data based on a dictionary from an external system, to enable:
- anonymization, or deletion of personal data based not only on a WEBCON BPS process, but also on data sources built on external systems (e.g. CRM, ERP).
