    Key features and enhancements

    Learn about the new features and enhancements introduced in this release. Each entry describes what changed, how it works in the product, and why it matters to your programme.

    Data Governance

    Migration programmes are rarely constrained by technology. They are constrained by unresolved ownership, unclear load sequencing and undefined scope, decisions historically recorded in workshop notes and spreadsheets outside the platform. Data Governance brings all three inside BlueGecko, where they are visible, controlled and auditable.

    Object Governance, Named Ownership per Migration Object

    1.2.0.2174Falcon MappingArea: Data GovernanceGeneral Availability

    Accountability for a migration object such as Customer or Supplier was previously agreed at project kick-off and recorded outside the platform. When a data issue surfaced later in the programme, establishing who held the decision required reconstructing that agreement from correspondence. A new Object Governance tab now holds this assignment inside the product.

    How it works in the product
    • Role-aware assignment. Users are presented grouped by role and then by designation, Business Users as Data Steward or Data Owner, Consultants as Functional Consultant, Developers as Data Engineer, and are assigned to objects by drag and drop. The structure reflects how delivery teams are organised rather than presenting a flat user list.
    • Controlled permissions. Only stakeholders, project managers and administrators may assign users to objects. Ownership cannot be reassigned by an individual team member.
    • Persisted configuration. Assignments are stored against the organisation configuration and travel with the project, providing a single authoritative record of accountability.
    • Audit readiness. Data ownership can be evidenced directly from the platform during client and regulatory review, without assembling supporting documentation.

    Object Migration Load Order, Cutover Sequencing

    1.2.0.2200Falcon MappingArea: Data GovernanceGeneral Availability

    Migration objects carry dependencies, Products must precede Bills of Material, Customers must precede Sales Orders. The intended sequence previously lived in a runbook document maintained outside the platform. An incorrect sequence costs a full reload cycle during a dress rehearsal and jeopardises the window during cutover. A second Data Governance tab now holds the agreed sequence centrally.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Repeatable rehearsals. The same agreed sequence is applied to every rehearsal cycle, eliminating a recurring and avoidable source of rework.
    • Risk moved forward. Sequencing is decided and reviewed weeks ahead of cutover rather than resolved under time pressure.
    • Simplified handover. Team members joining the programme read the intended order directly from the product.

    Business Rules, Formal Definition of Migration Scope

    1.2.0.2366Falcon MappingArea: Data GovernanceGeneral Availability

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Scope becomes an artefact. Rules are named, stored and available for client review, rather than existing as a shared recollection of an agreement.
    • Business ownership of definition. Scope is expressed by the stakeholders who understand the data, removing a translation step into development.
    • Volume established early. A preview displays the records a rule selects before it is committed, informing effort and runtime estimates during planning.

    were agreed in workshops and subsequently interpreted independently by each person implementing against them. Business stakeholders can now define named business rules that express scope as saved conditions per object within the organisation configuration.

    Governance Change Notifications

    1.2.0.2356Falcon MappingArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Governance decisions are effective only when the affected parties are aware of them. An ownership reassignment or a revised load order previously required a separate manual communication, and teams frequently continued working against a superseded position. Falcon Mapping now raises a notification automatically when governance configuration changes.

    • Owner assignment change. Where object-level ownership is amended, all users with access to that object in Falcon Mapping are notified.
    • Hierarchy or business rule change. Where the object hierarchy order is amended, or a business rule is created or updated, all users under the respective organisation configuration are notified.
    • Persisted delivery. Notifications are stored rather than transient, allowing users returning after a period of absence to review changes made in their absence.

    AI-Assisted Dependency Discovery

    1.2.0.2364Falcon MappingArea: Data GovernanceGeneral Availability

    Dependency relationships between objects are now surfaced with AI assistance, so that the proposed load order is informed by relationships identified in the source data rather than assembled solely from documentation and prior experience. Dependency mapping is among the most experience-dependent activities in a migration; reducing that concentration shortens ramp-up on new engagements and lowers the delivery risk carried by individual consultants.

    BlueGecko AINo token usage limit

    BlueGecko AI has been re-architected to operate without a paid language model. Semantic understanding is now provided by an in-house embedding layer, removing the per-query cost that previously constrained adoption. Metadata is processed within our own infrastructure rather than transmitted to an external commercial model.

    No token usage limit. BlueGecko AI runs on an in-house embedding layer instead of a metered, paid language model. Additional projects and users do not incur incremental AI cost, so there are no usage caps and no internal approval steps to add more people to the assistant.

    Natural-Language Metadata Intelligence, 17 Capabilities

    1.2.0.2139BlueGecko AIFalcon MappingArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Routine enquiries during a migration, which tables constitute a business object, which fields are mandatory, what is affected by a proposed change, previously required navigating mapping documents, data dictionaries and ER diagrams, or consulting a specialist. This work is repetitive and concentrated among a small number of individuals. Seventeen distinct capabilities are now answered directly by the assistant in plain English.

    All 17 capabilities
    #CapabilityBusiness use case addressed
    1List Tables for an ObjectAnalysts establish the full table footprint of a business object without navigating the data model.
    2List Fields of an ObjectRapid field discovery during scoping and mapping workshops.
    3List Fields of a TableRemoves dependency on database administrators for structural enquiries.
    4Mandatory / Optional FieldsPrevents load failures by exposing required-field rules during data preparation.
    5Data Type LookupAvoids type-mismatch and truncation errors before transformation logic is built.
    6Table HierarchyEstablishes parent-child structure so that loads execute in a valid order.
    7Migration SequenceProvides correct execution order, reducing failed loads and consequent rework.
    8Dependency ObjectsSurfaces upstream and downstream dependencies before an object is migrated or amended.
    9Object RelationshipsClarifies how business objects connect, supporting accurate scoping.
    10Table RelationshipsExposes join keys and referential links required to build transformations.
    11All Object RelationshipsProvides a full landscape view for solution architects and programme planning.
    12Source-to-Target Object MappingResolves object destination questions during design and validation.
    13Source-to-Target Column MappingAccelerates field-level mapping and enables self-service validation by testers.
    14Business Meaning SearchBusiness users locate the correct field by describing it, without requiring technical names.
    15Impact AnalysisEstablishes what is affected when an object or field changes, reducing unplanned defects arising from change requests.
    16ExplainProvides plain-English explanation of technical metadata, shortening onboarding.
    17List All Objects / TablesSingle entry point for exploring the full migration scope.
    Where the value concentrates
    • Self-service validation. Capabilities 12 and 13 enable testers to confirm mappings independently rather than queuing for consultant availability.
    • Change control. Capability 15 converts impact analysis from an investigation into a query, providing the most direct defence against defects introduced by late scope changes.
    • Business participation. Capability 14 allows data owners to locate fields in business language, which is a precondition for meaningful stakeholder involvement.
    • Reduced onboarding time. Capabilities 6, 7 and 16 allow new team members to explore the data model conversationally, compressing ramp-up.
    • Cost decoupled from usage. Additional projects and users no longer incur incremental AI cost, removing usage caps and internal approval steps.

    Voice Input and Reworked Assistant Interface

    1.2.0.2392BlueGecko AIFalcon MappingArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Users may now submit questions by voice in addition to typing. The assistant interface has been rebuilt around the new service.

    Enhancements delivered
    • Conversation continuity. Conversations can be initiated, resumed and revisited without loss of prior work.
    • Mapping and lineage together. Dedicated views allow users to move between proposed mappings and the lineage supporting them.
    • Consistent system feedback. Loading states, error handling and readable formatting replace opaque waits and unformatted output.
    • Design system alignment. The assistant now follows BlueGecko presentation standards rather than operating as a separate interface.
    • Hands-free access. Voice input supports use during client workshops, design sessions and cutover calls, and lowers the barrier for non-technical business users.

    Integrations

    Third-Party Application Integration

    1.2.0.2388Falcon MappingPlatformArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Connect third-party tools and platforms to automate workflows and enrich your mappings across all your connected apps. Integrations with Azure DevOps and Jira are available in this release, supporting read and write operations directly from the BlueGecko interface.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Read operations. Work items, tickets and project data are retrieved into BlueGecko, so that mappings carry the delivery context surrounding them.
    • Write operations. Findings and change requests raised during mapping are recorded as tracked items in the connected system without manual re-entry.
    • Single working context. Migration work and project tracking remain aligned rather than diverging across two systems.
    • Extensible connector set. Further connectors are in development, allowing BlueGecko to operate within an established toolchain rather than displacing it.

    The principal advance in Owl Sight is that data quality is no longer measured by independently configured checks. It is measured against governance standards the organisation has formally approved, held within the product.

    Owl Sight

    The principal advance in Owl Sight is that data quality is no longer measured by independently configured checks. It is measured against governance standards the organisation has formally approved, held within the product.

    Data Governance Relocated to Owl Sight

    1.2.0.2550Owl SightArea: Owl SightGeneral Availability

    The Data Governance module has moved from Falcon Mapping into Owl Sight. Functionality, navigation and permissions are unchanged, so no retraining is required. Governance belongs alongside data quality and issue prediction rather than alongside mapping. Consolidating it within Owl Sight establishes a single destination for the oversight questions, ownership, quality and predicted risk, and provides the foundation for the cross-product governance reporting signposted in v1.1.0.

    Governance Rules Held Within the Product

    1.2.0.2550Owl SightArea: Owl Sight DQGeneral Availability

    Governance rules, data standards and ownership were previously distributed across spreadsheets and, in practice, retained by a small number of experienced individuals. No controlled location existed in which to state the accepted standard for a given object. These are now defined and managed within Owl Sight as a single source of truth.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Institutional knowledge retained. Standards persist through team changes because they are held in the platform rather than by individuals.
    • Authoritative definition. Questions regarding the content of a rule are resolved by reference rather than by discussion.
    • Reviewable governance. Clients and auditors may inspect the standards themselves, not only the results derived from them.

    Governance-Driven Data Quality Analysis

    1.2.0.2577Owl SightArea: Owl Sight DQGeneral Availability

    Data quality analysis under the BAU template now executes against the rules defined in the Data Governance module rather than against separately configured checks. Results measured against an approved, documented standard are consistent, repeatable and defensible to auditors and business stakeholders, a materially different position from analysis produced by ad-hoc configuration, where the selection of checks itself becomes a subject of discussion.

    SAP S/4HANA Connectivity for Data Quality

    1.2.0.2577Owl SightArea: Owl Sight DQGeneral Availability

    Data quality can now be assessed directly against SAP S/4HANA source data under the BAU template, without manual extracts. Removing the extract step is significant in practice: extracts introduce delay and effort, with the consequence that quality is assessed late and infrequently. Direct connectivity allows issues to be identified earlier in both the migration and the ongoing BAU cycle, and extends BlueGecko's applicability beyond the migration event into recurring data operations.

    Persistent Chat History and Conversation Management

    1.2.0.2578Owl SightArea: Owl Sight DQGeneral Availability

    Conversations in the BAU and General templates are now retained across sessions, supported by an improved dashboard for returning to earlier investigations.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Context preserved. Analysts no longer repeat an analysis following an interruption or a handover.
    • Audit trail of reasoning. Prior findings record how a data quality conclusion was reached, not solely the conclusion itself.
    • Shareable findings. An investigation can be passed to a colleague or client as a record rather than re-narrated.
    • Efficient recurring checks. BAU cycles build on earlier work rather than duplicating it across the team.

    Issue Predict, Knowledge Base Enriched Across SAP Objects

    1.2.0.2580Owl SightArea: Owl Sight IPGeneral Availability

    The knowledge base underpinning Issue Prediction has been completed across all SAP migration objects and enriched with project README rules, dependent objects and table relationships. The Issue Predict service and interface were updated correspondingly, so that predictions reflect the full rule set end to end.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Complete coverage. Prediction reasons over the full documented rule set rather than a partial subset.
    • Context-aware detection. Dependencies and table relationships inform predictions, reducing generic findings.
    • Defensible output. A flagged issue traces to a documented business definition and can be substantiated to a client rather than presented as an unexplained model output.
    • Earlier detection. Data defects are identified before load rather than discovered during reconciliation.

    Dependency Hierarchy Displayed Alongside Analysis

    1.2.0.2578Owl SightArea: Owl Sight IPGeneral Availability

    The dependency object hierarchy is now displayed in the interface alongside the analysis, so that users see both the predicted issue and the objects it will affect. Establishing the extent of an issue is what determines remediation priority, and displaying it removes the manual step of tracing affected objects during root-cause analysis.

    Code Cheetah

    Deployable ETL Packages Generated from a Mapping

    1.2.0.2387Code CheetahArea: Code CheetahGeneral Availability

    Code Cheetah generated extract logic, but no route existed from a generated script to an orchestrated, schedulable pipeline. Engineers authored orchestration manually, transferred scripts and configured connections per environment, a slow, repetitive process and a consistent source of error. From a mapping selection, Code Cheetah now produces a complete, self-contained ETL package for the extract layer, comprising orchestration, the bundled logic, configuration and deployment instructions.

    How it works in the product
    • Minimal runtime requirement. The generated package executes locally with nothing beyond a container runtime.
    • Source-aware generation. The generator adapts to the source system automatically, whether the extract remains within a single database engine or crosses from PostgreSQL or MySQL into the target platform.
    • Reduced time to first load. The step from approved mapping to executing extract reduces from days of engineering to a generated package.
    • Consistency across engagements. Every project receives the same pipeline structure, reducing the support burden associated with bespoke orchestration.
    • Lower skill barrier. Delivery teams no longer require deep orchestration expertise to establish an extract.
    • Designed for extension. The architecture provides a defined path to file, API and SaaS sources in a subsequent release.
    • Script generation from Falcon Mapping. Scriptly reads directly from the approved Falcon Mapping and generates DDL and DML scripts scoped to the selected object and table, so scripts stay in sync with the governed mapping instead of being authored by hand.
    • Language support and code review. SQL is currently the supported script language, with additional languages planned. Every generated script is followed by an automated code review pass before it is marked ready for use.

    Transparent Lineage for Generated Transformation Logic

    1.2.0.2224Code CheetahArea: Code CheetahGeneral Availability

    Generated transformation logic now carries visible lineage showing the joins, filter conditions and source tables that produced each result. Generated code is acceptable to a client only where it can be explained. Lineage allows a data owner to establish precisely how a target value was derived, which is the condition on which sign-off depends and the first evidence requested when a migrated figure is questioned.

    Enhancements delivered
    • Joins and filters surfaced. Lineage shows the joins and filter conditions that produced each result, not just the final source table.
    • Source traceability. A data owner can trace precisely how a target value was derived, the evidence typically requested first when a migrated figure is questioned.
    • Sign-off ready. Explainable generated code is the condition most client sign-offs depend on, and lineage provides that explanation without engineering involvement.

    Data Source Connection

    1.2.0.2532Code CheetahArea: Code CheetahGeneral Availability

    Code Cheetah now uses the same data source connection model as Falcon Mapping across the Extract, Transform and Load stages of a pipeline, with a matching interface and consistent credential handling for each ETL stage.

    Enhancements delivered
    • Single connection registry. Consultants no longer register the same connection twice across products.
    • Automated lookup population. Lookup tables are populated automatically from the mapping document, including dependent tables reached through joins.
    • Automatic reference recognition. Reference tables defined in the platform are recognised automatically within generated transformation logic.
    • Configuration visibility. The ETL configuration view now displays the data source and its description for each of Extract, Transform and Load, making the connection a pipeline executes against evident without inspection.

    Categorised Data Source and Integration Catalogue

    1.2.0.2454Falcon MappingArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Data sources are now organised into defined categories, Files & Formats, Databases, Cloud & API, and ERP & CRM, with each connector either available or explicitly identified as forthcoming.

    • Available now. Excel and CSV; PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, CrateDB, DB2 and SAP HANA; generic API and Salesforce; Odoo ERP and Microsoft Dynamics AX.
    • On the roadmap. SAP C4C, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and NAV, JD Edwards, Infor, Sage, Exact and SugarCRM.
    • Commercial relevance. Source system coverage is among the first questions raised in every engagement qualification. Presenting a structured catalogue within the product, with the roadmap visible alongside current availability, supports that conversation directly.

    Reference Tables Module

    1.2.0.2358Falcon MappingArea: Falcon MappingGeneral Availability

    Transformations frequently require a value to be cross-referenced against a controlled list. These lists were previously maintained outside the product and entered wherever required, with no means of establishing which reference tables existed or of reusing one across mappings. A Reference Tables module is now provided in which these are created and maintained, and the tables created appear as a dropdown in the cross-reference column of the mapping module.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Defined once, reused. Reference data is created centrally rather than re-entered per mapping.
    • Error reduction. Selection from a controlled list rather than manual entry removes a category of transcription error.
    • Visibility. Existing reference tables are discoverable without consulting the person who configured them.

    A material proportion of v1.2.0 was invested in how BlueGecko is built and released rather than in functionality visible to end users. This work does not present in a demonstration, but it is what allows the capabilities above to be delivered predictably.

    Platform and administration

    A material proportion of v1.2.0 was invested in how BlueGecko is built and released rather than in functionality visible to end users. This work does not present in a demonstration, but it is what allows the capabilities above to be delivered predictably.

    Template-Driven Module Visibility per Organisation

    1.2.0.2463PlatformArea: PlatformGeneral Availability

    The platform supports engagements of materially different shape, one-off application migration, ongoing business-as-usual data operations, data warehouse consolidation. Presenting every module to every organisation made the product heavier than the engagement required and extended onboarding. Administrators now assign a configuration template to an organisation configuration, Application Migration, BAU or Data Warehouse Migration, and users are presented only the modules relevant to it.

    Business outcomes delivered
    • Faster onboarding. New users are presented a focused product rather than a full menu requiring explanation.
    • Engagement alignment. What a team sees corresponds to the work they are contracted to perform.
    • Extensible by configuration. Additional engagement types are added as templates without modification to application code.

    Dedicated Admin Settings Module

    1.2.0.2175PlatformArea: PlatformGeneral Availability

    User management and organisation management were located within Falcon Mapping, requiring administrators to enter a delivery product in order to administer the platform. Administration is now a separate module accessed from the BlueGecko landing page, available only to users holding Admin rights.

    Admin › Organization Management

    Database Access Governed by Directory Groups

    1.2.0.1923PlatformArea: PlatformGeneral Availability

    Extending the identity work delivered in v1.1.0, access to the CrateDB analytical store is now controlled exclusively through Azure AD security groups. No individual user holds direct access to the database. Read-only, read/write and administrative access are each granted through group membership, and this was verified as part of the release. Client and third-party security reviews consistently establish whether individual database credentials exist; the position for BlueGecko is now uniformly negative across both the application and the analytical store.

    Front-End Build Migration from Webpack to Vite

    1.2.0.2558Falcon MappingOwl SightArea: Falcon Mapping and Owl SightGeneral Availability

    The React applications for both products have been migrated from Webpack to Vite. The existing Webpack configuration was analysed, dependencies and plugins requiring replacement were identified, compatibility issues were assessed, and the migration was executed against a documented plan with risks and validation steps recorded. The change is not visible in the product; its effect is on the speed at which the team can build, test and release, which subsequently presents as shorter delivery cycles.

    1.2.0.2477HighData GovernanceSaving without a business rule was not handled in the interface, providing no indication of the required input.

    A higher defect count than v1.1.0 reflects a substantially larger surface area, an entirely new Data Governance module, a re-architected AI service and a new pipeline generator, combined with more rigorous test coverage. The material indicator is severity distribution: the overwhelming majority of findings were cosmetic or usability issues rather than functional failures, indicating that the core capability landed sound and that remaining work is refinement.
