Two years ago we released the first version of Zetadocs Express, providing Microsoft Dynamics customers with the additional value of integrated document management through its connection to Microsoft Office 365’s SharePoint Online.
Two years and many thousands of downloads later, one of the regular comments we hear from customers is, “Zetadocs Express sounds great, but I’m not ready to deploy SharePoint or to move to the cloud with Office 365 yet!”
So we are announcing a new version of ...
We announced last week that we were teaming up with KYOCERA Document Solutions to launch Zetafax Device Edition. KYOCERA is one of the world’s leading document output management companies, manufacturing everything from multifunctional printers (MFPs) to a portfolio of software solutions. They know their customers inside out and they’ve been a great partner to launch with.
Zetafax Device Edition originated from a customer need to keep records of, and easily manage, the hard copy ...
I find myself managing multiple calendars on a daily basis. Not only my business meetings stored in our corporate Exchange server, but also my online calendars in Hotmail (Outlook.com) that I use for reminders of friend’s birthdays, and a shared family calendar stored in Gmail, to help manage those events too.
Like many of you who have switched to using online calendars to stay organized, I like to have access to all of these appointments in a single view in my preferred calendar ...
Last week I was on the tube travelling home from an account management meeting with one of our Zetadocs for NAV resellers and I saw a disheveled City AM newspaper on the seat next to me. Casually flicking through, I was drawn to an article discussing the establishment of holiday and spa resorts designed to be smartphone and email free ‘detox centers’. This got me thinking about how the modern day workforce goes about their day to day business.
For a while now it has been the norm for ...
First a confession: I am Colin the ever- helpful FD and I love spreadsheets. I spend a disproportionate amount of time using Excel to dig into data searching for valuable nuggets of information, spotting trends and creating pretty graphs for various reports and/or publishing to our SharePoint intranet. But the problem for those responsible for building and managing spreadsheets for time recording is that the main users, such as consultants, input data too infrequently to invest time ...
It was at my first Microsoft Convergence EMEA conference in Munich back in 2006, when I first heard the term “Extended ERP”. The principle seemed simple enough to understand: typically, 15% of employees of a mid-market organization have access to the ERP system and therefore the information and data stored within it. Microsoft’s vision for extended ERP was to empower the other 85% of the company by enabling them to access the relevant information. And the vehicle for doing this was ...
There is a lot in the news these days about an expectation of belt-tightening within the public sector. As a software supplier working within the NHS and Public Sector verticals, I get the opportunity to understand their IT environments and gain an insight into various NHS Trusts. We work with some great NHS partners who have seen the light, but sadly, waste is a stark reality and an accepted culture.
The NHS is currently undergoing a period of extensive change - technological, social and ...
What a journey it has been. As we announced our 500th Zetadocs for NAV sale at the Directions conference in Nashville this week, my mind wandered back to our first sales a few years ago. “How did we get here?”, I thought. The answer, of course, was right before me in the form of nearly 70 people from the NAV partner community that were attending our session. We certainly couldn't have reached this milestone without them. I felt a debt of gratitude and hoped that I had done as much to ...
We've been finding that a growing number of management consultancies are showing interest in Timemaster because it brings insight into the profitability of each project across a firm and calculates how much of each consultant’s “chargeable” time actually gets invoiced and paid. So this year we've worked with prospects and customers to improve how Timemaster handles the full life cycle of projects for management consultants. It is now a great tool for ensuring that new business is ...
We’ve just released the fourth update rollup for Zetadocs for NAV. Update rollups include all the newest patches and hotfixes since the last version release.
Historically, Microsoft pioneered this rollup mechanism as a way of helping their customers (and the partners who support them) access a single update that includes the cumulative set of post release hotfixes, before the number of fixes becomes unwieldy and confusing.
Spreading the load
We decided to adopt update rollups ...
