The latest version of NetDirector™ Auto, v8 was launched in October 2010. This is actually the seventh version of the software but was considered a more apt moniker for the new version. NetDirector™ Auto v8 is claimed to be the industry's first Software as a Service website platform. V8 is a purpose built framework based on the widely acclaimed Zend framework using PHP5.3 and MySQL5.1. V8 takes advantage of the simplicity and usability of the JQuery UI javascript library to provide rich and intuitive user interfaces. The SaaS model delivers automatic updates to its user base circumventing the usual requirement for website rebuilds every 24 months or so.
