Then, the new Serenity mode is a full Saas (Software-as-a-Service) distribution built on the very latest standards and includes - automatic major and minor updates. For companies with customization needs without Akeneo code changing. The Saas distribution allows to benefit as fast as possible from the latest Akeneo innovation, with no additional costs.
