San Diego, CA -- June 11, 2025. Soutron Global, an internationally recognized SaaS provider of information management and preservation solutions for archives, libraries, museums and knowledge management hubs, announces the release of Soutron 4.2., accelerating the redesign and modernization of administration workflow sequences. This latest release provides significant benefits to knowledge hub information managers, special librarians and corporate archivists, particularly in environments where efficiency, knowledge sharing, information governance, compliance, and information access are of paramount importance.

"Soutron 4.2 provides significant time-saving improvements to portal operations and administrative workflows, cutting clicks and simplifying management workflows. This is thanks to our collaborative relationship with our clients," states Graham Partridge, Vice-President of Research & Development at Soutron Global. "My team has invested in incorporating streamlined technologies into Soutron, resulting in our clients' abilities to better manage their collections more effectively, improve service delivery, and support their users' needs."

With Soutron 4.2 it is now easier than ever to manage collections directly from both the portal view and the administration modules, without having to jump between the two views to add records, select security categories, easily create child records and parts of records such as chapters, and assign new metadata tags. Plus, staff can now bypass ISBN validation on import in addition to being able to display the record's full creation and update history for auditing purposes.

Improvements to operation efficiencies and the end-user experience in version4.2 , include:

• Redesigned, modernized Self-issue portals
• All catalog record creation & updating functions migrated to modern interface
• Improved visitor behavior and usage reports
