It’s time once again to hand out hardware to our award winners. Once a week over the next month we will announce winners for new Tabs3 and PracticeMaster unit sales, new Client Server sales, culminating with the grand finale, Reseller of the Year. Our thanks to all of you for your efforts in 2010!

Now, our first award! Our Client Server Reseller of the year had a terrific year selling CSV. Their efforts broke last year’s impressive record for the most CSV sales by any reseller in a single year. Without further ado:

Hopefully everyone has had a chance to download and test the beta of Version 16.  There are a few changes you may notice when working with the beta.

First, we are changing the name of our Client Server Version (CSV) to Platinum. 

Second, we are adding a new STI Server product.  It will be a 64-bit SQL option in addition to the 32-bit option that we currently sell.  Once Version 16 launches, the STI Server name will change to the Platinum Server, and the new 64 bit SQL server will be called the Platinum SQL Server.

This is why we are making these changes: 

New marketing information will be distributed for the new Platinum SQL Server within the next several weeks.  If you have clients that might be interested in beta testing the Platinum SQL Server, please e-mail the firm’s contact information to [email protected] and specify SQL.

Philip Allendorfer, Director of Development for Tabs3 and PracticeMaster, will discuss the benefits of CSV and explain the technology behind CSV features like HotBackup and Report Accelerators.  Phil does a great job of explaining how the technology works.  If you have CSV prospects or clients with questions about CSV, they should attend, especially if they have technical questions.  This is a great opportunity for you and your clients to get your questions answered by the expert!  There will be a session on November 11, and another on December 14.  Learn more and register for this webinar at this site:

Bruce Policky, Product Manager for Tabs3 and PracticeMaster, will show your clients how to process credit card payments and trust deposits in Tabs3 in an upcoming webinar on October 14, and again on November 10.  He will also talk about ways to accommodate state bar guidelines for accepting trust deposits via credit card.  Credit cards are a great way for your clients to improve cash flow and reduce the time they spend on collections.  Be sure to let them know about this!  For more information and to register, click here:

We have offered a 20% discount to existing Timeslips customers switching to Tabs3 Software for years, and this popular promotion will continue.  Beginning today, the maximum discount that a firm can receive by switching to Tabs3 from Timeslips will be $200.  You will soon see this change reflected on the web site.  As a reminder, it only applies towards a new purchased license of Tabs3 (including Client Server), and firms must provide us with proof of purchase to receive their discount.

Since Palm has not made any changes to the Palm Development Kit since 2004, we will not be providing a Palm Conduit for Version 16 PracticeMaster.  The most current Palm Development Kit that Palm provides to software companies was released in 2004.  The Palm Development Kit was not designed to work with the tools that our programmers use today.  Palm also stopped selling devices that use this technology in 2007, so we feel this will affect a relatively few number of users.  In addition, we have made significant improvements with Outlook synchronization in Version 16 which will provide a much better user experience when synchronizing handheld devices to PracticeMaster through Outlook.
