Why You Should Upgrade to BarTender 2022

For over thirty years, Seagull Scientific has been committed to bringing their users efficient, up-to-date services. One of these services, BarTender, has served as a useful print and label managing tool. Whether they own the Professional, Automation or Enterprise editions, businesses ranging from pharmaceutical, retail, manufacturing and more have been using BarTender to the fullest.

As with any software, BarTender is constantly evolving. While BarTender 2016 was a useful tool, the new and improved BarTender 2022 blows it out of the water in connectivity, ease of use and customization. After April 30th, 2023, BarTender 2016 will no longer be supported. Seagull Scientific encourages its users to update their software in accordance with their lifecycle schedule; therefore, if you haven’t upgraded to BarTender 2022 already, you should do so as quickly as possible.

Why Do I Need BarTender 2022?

You may think that upgrading is unnecessary if you already have BarTender 2016; after all, while support may end after April 30th, the software itself will still be functional. However, not updating puts you and your business at risk. Updating your business software is crucial in maintaining proper cyber security; outdated software leaves you exposed to ever-evolving cyber attacks.

It doesn’t end with security hazards, either. After April 30th, BarTender 2016 will no longer have access to BarTender technical support. This leaves the burden of clearing up technical issues solely on the user, which costs you precious time and resources. In addition, users will no longer be able to add new printers to their network.

Perks of BarTender 2022

There are more reasons to upgrade to BarTender 2022 than the dangers of not doing so. The new software comes with a host of new features, including:

  • BarTender mobile app: The BarTender mobile app allows you to print from any device at any time. BarTender 2016 doesn’t support the mobile app, but BarTender 2022 includes it with no additional charge.

  • Browser-based printing: BarTender 2022 comes with a new and improved Print Portal. This allows teams and partners worldwide to access your label library, while also keeping your data safe with updated security configurations.

  • Workflow designer: The new Workflow Designer allows you to create custom workflows using innovative drag and drop tools, complete revision history capture and more.

  • New data connectors: Connectivity is an important software feature, which is why BarTender 2022 comes with 23 different data connectors. These allow you to connect the software with almost any structured data source, including Oracle, IBM, Excel Online, XML and more.
