Service pack 2 for PathFinder 6.1 is now available for download on the Orion extranet. This comprises updates for both server and tools.

Orion Consulting Limited has been acquired by Intec Systems Limited.

As the UK government’s COVID road map out of lockdown continues, we are looking at when and how we can introduce training courses again safely.

The upgrade to 6.1 is a significant upgrade involving changes to many tables in the PathFinder database, and therefore should be planned carefully to ensure that business dataflows are not interrupted.

As most of our customers know, Orion Consulting has been a remote working company since its founding over 20 years ago. We are not only set up already for home working, but it is our normal practice and as such there will be no change required in the company’s operation under COVID-19 home working rules. For the vast majority of our customers, we already have secured remote access from our systems to yours and as such our support will continue as it has before.
