The CIPAce™ Keenstra 1.3 release introduces key advancements focused on security, system integration, and platform performance, further strengthening the foundation for scalable and reliable capital program and asset management.
Stronger Security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
CIPAce™ now includes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of protection for user accounts and sensitive system actions.
Users can authenticate through SMS, email, or authenticator apps, with flexible configuration options to meet organizational security policies. MFA is enforced across login, password resets, and sensitive data updates, ensuring that only authorized users can access or modify critical information.
Additional capabilities such as device registration, login tracking, and failure logging provide greater visibility and control over system access, helping organizations proactively manage security risks.
Seamless Data Integration and Automated System Upgrades
Keenstra 1.3 introduces a robust Data/ETL Integration Framework, enabling automated data exchange between CIPAce™ and external systems.
Organizations can:
- Schedule and execute data synchronization processes
- Monitor integration results and track success or failure rates
- Reload failed records and export results for analysis
In addition, new database automation and Azure CI/CD pipeline integration streamline system upgrades. Administrators can initiate upgrades directly within the platform, monitor progress in real time, and manage maintenance with full transparency.
This combination of integration and automation ensures greater data consistency, operational efficiency, and reduced manual effort.
Platform Usability, Workflow, and Performance Enhancements
This release also delivers a range of improvements that enhance usability, workflow control, and system performance. Updates include full-screen grid views for better data visibility, workflow enhancements such as required comments for approvals and email-based task processing, and expanded support for custom workflow activities.
Behind the scenes, performance optimizations to background jobs, grid behavior, and page configuration improve system responsiveness and stability, while ongoing security updates further strengthen platform reliability.
Together, these enhancements create a more efficient, flexible, and user-friendly experience across the platform.
With the Keenstra 1.3 release, CIPAce™ continues to enhance its core platform with stronger security, improved integration capabilities, and optimized performance. These updates provide organizations with the tools needed to operate more securely, efficiently, and confidently at scale.
