How we deliver updates
To simplify migration to the new software version, reduce the amount of personnel training, and guaranteeing system stability, we use a constructive system of Maintenance Releases and Software Builds.
Maintenance Releases (MR)
- A new software version of PortaSwitch is released every 7 weeks
- It contains new features, new enhancements, & bug fixes for known issues
Software Builds
- Released 7 weeks following MR build zero
- Within a build, any bugs detected in the most recent release are fixed and minor improvements made
To learn more details about maintenance releases, how we choose which features to include in future updates, and how you can order custom development, contact us directly. We look forward to speaking with you.

The agile development style was extremely successful for us at Telekom Malaysia during our migration to PortaSwitch. We were able to save time, effort and money while migrating quickly and with few to no inconveniences for our customers. The whole process from start to finish was flawless – very well designed and executed.
