Legacy OASIS vs. O4

What is the Legacy Version of OASIS?

Since 2000, the Legacy desktop version of OASIS has been used by thousands of end users at hundreds of agencies, distributors, and manufacturers. Before development began on O4, the Legacy OASIS client was the only way users could access the OASIS database. With the rise of the mobile office and the ever changing and evolving needs of our end users and the lighting industry, we began to develop a web based version of OASIS that could be accessed by mobile devices outside of the office and through an API by 3rd party applications. This led to the development of O4.

Many users are familiar with the O4 Dashboard within Legacy OASIS. The O4 Dashboard currently provides a user interface that provides users without O4 to experience some of its new features, such as Tiles. This article does not refer to the O4 Dashboard when exploring O4 capabilities and features. 

Standard O4 Benefits

The list below describes some of the benefits of moving forward with O4.

• Access OASIS data from a web browser, providing a remote access alternative
• Explore new features such as Conversations, where users can log phone calls
• Call or email contacts directly from O4
• Generate and scan QR codes in O4 Samples
• Enable two factor authentication
• Create reporting tiles that periodically run, interpret, and publish updates automatically
• Generate JSON API calls
• Improved OASIS Support capabilities through Support Tokens

How O4 is Billed

O4 Users Types

Customers have the option to purchase different types of user licenses based on the functions that the user requires. There are 4 types of users: Legacy, O4, Hybrid, and API Access.

The user type can be changed at any time but any changes that are made will affect billing. For more information about the costs associated with each type of user, please contact our sales department at sales@oasissalessoftware.com or by phone at 501-843-6750. Learn more about configuring user types in O4.

O4 Service Tiers

The O4 service is billed based on the tier that the company falls into. Tiers are based on the number of O4 and Hybrid users that a company has or the size of the database, whichever limit is reached first. For example, if a company has 9 users, but the DB size is 150 GB, the company would fall into tier II.

O4 Add-Ons 

There are four O4 add-ons available for purchase: Customer Portal, Disaster Recovery, Sync, and Legacy Connection.
