CAS Version 11.1 added numerous new features, enhancements and tools, to provide our clients with an even more efficient and effective compliance solution.
The CAS product manager would like to recognise the effort of the entire CAS team for their outstanding and unwavering determination and hard work to provide CAS Version 11.1 in August.
We would like to thank our clients that have helped with the Beta testing of CAS for the version 11.1 release. The CAS Beta testers provided outstanding and invaluable feedback during the testing phase of this release and we are sure that all users appreciate their hard work.
CAS Version 11.1 is possibly the most feature packed release in the long history of the CAS product. The additional features and enhancements have arrived with some issues but the persistence of the CAS team and the feedback from clients has enabled the continuing development and improvement in CAS. The feedback from clients helps us to maintain focus on the functions regularly used by our clients.
The success of the CAS update seminars and the feedback it provided is invaluable. The seminars showed how clients and users appreciate and recognise the number of their requests and wish list items that have been added to the system.
The CAS team will continue to constantly strive to provide a software package that is written purely for the benefit of our clients with as much input as possible from its users.
CAS Version 11.1 has allowed for an update of our report engine to Quick Reports 5.0 which has now also enabled CAS and all BGL products to provide a full featured report editor.
The full suite of CAS reports are able to be re-designed and altered by users of CAS. The report designs are able to be changed at the time of preparation where users also have the option to replace the existing report template that CAS currently provides, with your latest redesigned report.
This feature allows users to alter colours, fonts, styles, company logo's, signing lines, database fields, spacing, columns, shadings and so much more in all CAS reports.
The BGL product teams have commenced developing a feature packed Query module. This module will enable CAS clients to query the CAS database in plain English and provide an output in a customisable form.
This will mean that CAS users and users of any BGL products will be able to create, modify and reproduce reports that provide the exact information that is required in the most appropriate format designed by you, the user.
These changes enable clients to get even greater value out of the CAS product and therefore greater value for your business.
BGL and the CAS team would like to welcome our new senior programmer, Prakash Sastry.
Prakash has been a senior programmer for many years, working on numerus systems and brings a great deal experience related to Nexus, our database engine.

The application for deregistration may be made by the company; a director or member of the company; or a liquidator of the company.
