Berla is proud to announce the release of iVe Software version 2.0. This is our most ambitious release since iVe was first launched in 2013, and it represents the culmination of years’ worth of feedback received from the global vehicle forensics community and our experience supporting investigators throughout the world.
To that end, this release incorporates many enhancements that have either been directly requested by customers or otherwise designed to improve usability during real-world operations and day-to-day casework. Much effort has been made to better walk the user through the vehicle forensics process, allowing more access points to in-application support and making the various steps more intuitive.
This landmark release includes several exciting components, the first of which is a complete redesign to the user interface and overall look. Seasoned users need not worry too much about the learning curve, however, as the interface navigation and functional changes are largely intuitive. We will also take a closer look at some of the new features, including the massively improved ‘Search’ section, in a separate blog entry.
AUDI SUPPORT
This software release also adds support for Audi systems and covers well over 500 different Audi models dating back to 2009. There is no additional hardware required as long as your hardware kit has been kept up-to-date.
Audi has long been among the most frequently requested OEMs for us to add support for, and we are excited to get this capability into the hands of investigators.
RELEASE NOTES
iVe Software version 2.0 is a particularly noteworthy release in that it introduces significantly greater integration and syncing between the iVe Software and iVe Mobile. iVe Mobile has a version 2.0 release coinciding with the 2.0 iVe Software release, and the two applications will work in conjunction to an increased degree from this point forward.
We appreciate all of the customer feedback we have received over the last five years. We look forward to hearing your feedback on the new iVe Software and serving you along the road ahead.
