Nintex Automation 5.8: the 2024 release

Nintex Automation 5.8 was released on 5 September 2024.

For an established business application, each release raises a practical question: what needs to be checked before the organisation moves forward?

We recommend starting with the processes people rely on, the systems connected to them and the custom work in the environment. This makes the assessment specific enough to support a delivery and testing plan.

This entry records the historical milestone. Support status and compatibility must be checked at the time of any current upgrade assessment.

Planning around Nintex Automation 5.8

An assessment of Nintex Automation 5.8 should identify the current platform baseline, business-critical workflows and integration dependencies. Build the test scope around real cases: a normal approval, a rejected request, missing information and an unavailable approver. This gives the customer and delivery team a shared basis for deciding whether the application is ready. Deployment planning should also address the change window and the agreed recovery approach.
