FileBound 9.0 completes the multi-phase Reaper Project, a comprehensive backend modernization initiative that touches every aspect of system performance. This isn't visible to users, but everyone benefits—faster processing, more consistent behavior, better scalability, and fewer mysterious issues. Think of it as rebuilding the engine while the car is running, ensuring FileBound can handle growing document volumes without compromising speed or stability.

FileBound 9.0 delivers targeted, behind-the-scenes improvements to our APIs and integration layer, making integrations more reliable and easier to maintain. The 9.0 release prioritizes stability and performance for existing integrations and users will benefit from improvements to high-volume imports and complex project configurations. Updates to core libraries also enhance security and keep the platform current with modern standards. These enhancements ensure FileBound remains robust for today’s integration needs and wellpositioned for future innovation.

The Beta Web Viewer graduates becomes the default viewing experience for all users. This modern, faster, and more accessible interface has been thoroughly tested and refined based on user feedback. The previous Windows Viewer transitions to Legacy status is available for a limited time to support your transition.

Extract insights faster and make data-driven decisions without technical expertise. The enhanced BI widgets deliver better visualization options, more intuitive controls, and improved data filtering capabilities. Whether you're tracking document processing metrics, monitoring compliance KPIs, or identifying workflow bottlenecks, the new BI tools put critical intelligence at your fingertips.

License management gets more transparent and proactive. The redesigned licensing interface provides clearer visibility into license usage, allocation, and availability, with proactive alerts when approaching limits. Administrators can now optimize license allocation, avoid unexpected overages, and make informed decisions about capacity planning from a cleaner, more intuitive dashboard.

Beyond these major updates, FileBound 9.0 includes critical improvements driven by platform modernization and customer needs.

Ongoing improvements

• Bug fixes and stability: High-priority customerreported issues are addressed

• Performance optimization: Faster processing across document upload, retrieval, and search operations

• Security hardening: Updated dependencies and protocols to meet evolving security standards

Capture exactly the data you need, exactly how you need it. FileBound 9.0 expands Additional Fields with improved field types, better validation options, enhanced conditional logic, and more granular permission controls.

This means you can adapt FileBound to specialized requirements—from capturing custom metadata for government records, tracking quality control data in manufacturing, or managing patient information in healthcare—without custom development.

What this means for you:

• Perfect data capture: Design forms and fields that match your exact business processes

• Better automation: Use conditional logic to show/ hide fields based on user input or document type

• Improved data quality: Set validation rules that prevent errors at the point of entry

• Flexible permissions: Control who sees and edits specific fields for security and compliance

• Lower implementation costs: Adapt to unique needs without expensive custom coding
