To the Romans ‘Janus’, for which this month is a special celebration, was the guardian god of portals, and gates, the patron of beginnings and endings.
The word appears to have derived from c. 1500, from the Latin Ianus, meaning “gate, arched passageway,”
The deity is said to have two heads one looking to the past and one looking to the future.

So why not make a new year’s resolution to ensure you modernise those remaining projects in your company? Take control and ditch the old, unlinked, discord of separate tools and repositories and ensure all the data is linked and traced in Cradle. From project beginnings to successful endings, from concept to creation and through your product’s life – look forward not backwards with Cradle.
Looking Forward
We’re hard at work implementing features for Cradle 7.5 giving you more ways to get your data in and out of Cradle. Follow our newsletters, blogposts and twitter, facebook and linkedIn pages to stay abreast of the updates coming in 2019.
Cradle Release
If you didn’t get a chance before the Christmas break, make sure you go into the new year with the latest version of Cradle – 7.4.2. This will ensure you have the latest features and the bug tweaks in place. To answer a common question that support are asked, “Yes you can have the new features included in a 7.4.n release for free if you have a 7.4 code.”

Cyber Essentials logo
Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats.
IASME
We have also been successful in our assessment for the IASME standard and in the assessment under GDPR.
IASME and GDPR Logo
The IASME Governance standard, based on international best practice, is risk-based and includes aspects such as physical security, staff awareness, and data backup. It is recognised as the best cyber security standard for small companies by the UK Government when in consultation with trade associations and industry groups.
These assessments should give you an added layer of confidence when dealing with 3SL. We would thoroughly recommend our customers use similar precautions for their businesses. No matter how good your security, the unexpected may happen, a power loss to your server a broken water pipe flooding your machine room. So alongside good data security, we would also recommend a good backup plan for your Cradle data.
