Hi Kevin,  I'm just jumping on your post hoping that with more than one person asking we'll get someone's attention.  Because, Inquiring minds want to know!  I have to alert the money people before they close the budget build for FY2012/2013. 

Hi Kevin and Stella,

Thanks for the question. The FootPrints Team is excited to now be part of BMC Software. BMC has been incredibly supportive of us and consider FootPrints to be a key part of the company's future. Rest assured the entire team is working very hard on the future of FootPrints. We can't discuss specific version numbers or timelines, but we think you will like what's coming. Feel free to contact me directly, or contact your sales representative and we can arrange a roadmap presentation under BMC's NDA.

Hi Michele,

I'm working with my 'money man' now to see if we can build in an expenditure that, if not used, can be rolled over to FY2013/2012.  I was anxious for the info on v12 as my company gets very testy about unplanned expenses.  They're already giving me the stink eye for not letting them know that v11 would be implemented this budgetary year.

I'll keep an eye on the forum as I expect you all will be giving us a heads-up when it's getting close.  Thank you for the information.

Dear Michele;

Our Director, Enzo Casali, and myself would be interested in seeing a FootPrints 12 roadmap presentation under BMC's NDA. Can you contact me with details?

I would be very interested in that kind of presentation as well.  We are currently running under vers 11.0.3 and are planning on upgrading to version 11.5 but maybe it would be worth it to wait base on what the road map is.

What is the estimated release date? "Summer" would be about now.

Definitely not Summer. The 11.6 Update is up first. It is listed on bmc.com, but I haven't seen the actual files to it. So it's probably around the corner.

Michael,

No, I wouldn't wait. According to the rumors FP12 is a major refactor. FP11.5.1 is pretty stable now. It would be wiser to get up to FP11.5.1 sooner, then wait for a few revs of FP12 before upgrading.

Isn't there an 11.6 now???

I don't see it available for download, but there are references about it on the main BMC products page.  It looks like the major new feature with 11.6 is being able to create tickets from Twitter feeds.   No value to my organization as we don't do any social media tickets, but hopefully it'll have some bug fixes that my company has been waiting for.

There is an 11.6 version of FPAC, but FPSC is still at 11.5.1.

Hi Michele,

What would be the status of a release for version 12?

Thanks.

I've heard "rumor" of before summer 2014, but the answer has always been wrapped with the disclaimer that "we don't talk about version releases and can't tell you anything, even if it's tomorrow or next year." (something to do with investors).

Gilman,

Michele's statement still stands as written.  Contact your sales representative if you need a road map presentation.
