It's better. It's faster. It's Botkeeper's New Operating System

BOS represents an evolution of the Botkeeper platform, so we’re driving improved methods and efficiencies.
While BOS has a new look and works a little differently, it's essential to know what hasn't changed – the platform still supports all of the primary workflows you know and love.
Here are the features/functionality that are not included in this release of BOS:

Do my clients or I need to perform updates as you launch new features in BOS?
Nope! We'll be handling all of the updates under the hood.
As we add new features and make them generally available, you’ll see them show up in the platform—no work to do. We’ll also be adding a new process where we can selectively launch features for Beta testing to eligible partners. Your Account Manager will keep you up to date on opportunities that are a good fit for your firm.Will my existing clients notice a difference when my firm moves to the Botkeeper Operating System?
We've had a facelift!
The user interface in the Botkeeper Operating System has been improved and streamlined while retaining some of the same functionality your clients are familiar with. We've found that Botkeeper Operating System is extremely intuitive and easy to learn.Statement Dates Changed in Smart Connect?
As we upgrade clients to BOS, we are also upgrading them to the new V2 statement download process.
This means that you can expect statements to download consistently and they’re available when you’d expect them to be. The date displayed in Smart Connect is the availability date. This is the date the statement becomes available from the institution (usually 2-3 days after the billing cycle ends). We changed the date format because we can’t always accurately predict the month for accounts that don’t have monthly billing cycles.When does my firm get the opportunity to move to the Botkeeper Operating System?
Your Account Manager will let you know!
Our team has a carefully planned process for upgrading our partners to BOS that ensures smooth upgrades for all partner firms with minimal disruptions. When it’s closer to your firm’s upgrade date, your Account Manager will alert you to the timing for your firm, and you’ll begin to receive communications to prepare for your upgrade to the Botkeeper Operating System.
