Product core, client configuration, programme integrations.
The release number applies to the maintained Seamfix Platform core. Client-specific configuration, workflows and integrations sit around that core and are governed through the programme's deployment and change process.
This separation is what allows the common platform to keep evolving without treating every client as a forked product.
- Platform coreThe maintained Seamfix Platform. The release number — currently 17.4 — applies here.
- Client configurationWorkflows, forms, rules, roles and branding that sit around the core.
- Programme integrationsConnections to the programme's sources and systems, governed through its deployment and change process.
