Other enhancements include performance improvements for saving forecasts to SQL servers and an upgrade to the process of loading larger projects. We have also included several upgrades to our core modules (DCA, CDF, Mapping and Reporting) for better user experience and flexibility. 

Please note that OFM 21.1 is now available both as a 32-bit and a 64-bit application.
