OFM

OFM 21.2 now available
Our latest release, OFM 21.2, builds on the many new features and upgrades introduced in the last major release, but with a focus on the Forecast Manager and Mapping Analysis. It also brings a new Rate-Cum Analysis for plotting rates vs. cumulative values, enabling better charting of a few specialized line plots. As for the previous release, OFM 21.2 offers the option of installing the software either as a 32-bit application or a 64-bit application. Please note that you can not have both versions installed at the same time.

Looking at the year ahead, it will be another busy year for OFM Development, but please know that we are committed to bringing you OFM solutions that improve efficiency and productivity, while maintaining the technical depth and user flexibility OFM is known for.

On that note, we would love to hear from you. What do you think we should focus on in terms of functionality and overall enhancements? You can now submit your suggestions and enhancement requests here:
