    Beta Program Overview

    What is the HCL Unica+ Beta program?

    HCL Unica+ is the code name that represents the next major evolution of HCL Unica. HCL Unica+ beta is an early access program that provides HCL Unica customers an opportunity to explore hands-on the features of any upcoming updates to the platform. The next major revamp to the platform (HCL Unica+) is scheduled around mid 2025 and the current beta program showcases the features included in this update

    Why is HCL Unica offering this Beta program?

    HCL Unica roadmap has strongly been driven by the voice of its customers and partners. Our patrons have expressed an interest to be more actively involved in the direction, design and evolution of features across our portfolio. Through this program, HCL Unica intends for its patrons to preview/explore our upcoming release features and provide feedback on them proactively prior to its official release.

    What should I expect from the Beta program?

    The Beta program is offered as an early access/preview to select areas of our upcoming GA release and is not the final GA version of the software. As the release is still under development and testing, please be aware not all areas of the product are fully functional and issues may be expected. Participants are requested to review the outlined scope of the beta (see scope section for more information) and restrict their exploration and feedback to the areas in question. While HCL Unica will make every effort to ensure the application is stable and functionality is available end to end, there may be situations and scenarios where it may not be the case and the understanding and cooperation of participants is greatly appreciated.

    How is this Beta program offered?

    The program will be offered starting the 23rd of Jan 2025, and will be on till the General Availability of this Program(to be announced later). Patrons who have signed up for the program, will be given access to a HCL Unica hosted environment to explore hands-on the features in scope.

    Does the Beta program include all the features of the GA release?

    Since the beta program is offered as an early access/preview to select areas of our upcoming GA release, not all features of the GA release will be available in the beta. Features related to deployment, performance, environment stack support and elements that may require 3rd party components will not be covered in the beta. The beta environment has also not been tuned for performance and logging levels are set appropriately to help troubleshoot issues.

    Will there be training offered on the Beta program?

    Yes. There will be a webinar hosted by us on Beta launch/enablement. The webinar will walk the participants through the program and provide a guided tour on the features in scope. In case you missed the webinar, a replay is available here

    Will there be a walk through of the new capabilities like AI, RTP, CDP and demo of more usecases?

    We also have 2 deep dive sessions planned refer to the Beta Scope section
