Welcome to our next release of our quarterly MoveMan Pro newsletter.  This quarter sees the arrival of the BAR conference and also the introduction of the HIP (Home Information Pack), which hopefully won't affect us too  much.  At least we have great sunshine and warm temperatures.

MoveMan Pro 

Due to the changing nature of technology we would like to advise you all that any future versions of MoveMan Pro will be designed to work on a minimum screen resolution of 1024 by 768.  Do note that this does not effect you currently, you will only need to consider it when you are upgrading your MoveMan version.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the support on 0870 4288 412 or email support@eosuk.com.

BAR Conference 

Enhanced Operating Systems will be at the BAR Conference in London this year, so please take some time to come and visit us.  Feel free to have a chat to any of us about how you can make better use of your systems or even take a look at the new developments we have from the updated self-store system to the new IntelliRate system for international quoting.   There is also a great new development with the TabletPC that we think you will love.  

IntelliRate Update 

As part of our plan to make MoveMan as comprehensive and beneficial as possible we have developed a great new system of doing trade quotes based on volume rates for destination, origin and transit agents.  This update is for all those who have the international module and is easy to manage and have different rate periods for different times of the year.

For more information of this and how it operates please contact sales@eosuk.com or call 0870 4288 412.

MoveMan for TabletPC Release

The beta version of the tablet has been tested and this quarter sees the release of MoveMan for TabletPC 2.01.0004.  This update includes the ability to produce quotations on the tablet and synchronise them back into the main system for everyone to view.  Also included is the ability to run sales presentations for your clients in their own home including animations of packing boxes that can be personalised with your own company logos.

If you would like to have an upgrade please let us know and we will make the necessary arrangements for you.

Sage

If you are running Sage Line 50 on any version please remember to check the Sage website regularly for updates, just like you would do for your Microsoft products.  Sage are regularly releasing patches that will keep your program up to date.

Also if you are upgrading Sage or just updating the software please ensure that you remember to to run the maintenance options before you proceed with the update.  this will often flag up or correct any issues that you might have before they have serious effects later on.

Backing up you data 

Please remember to back up your data, and also to test your backups regularly to make sure that your back-ups are actually working.  We thought it best to remind you all that taking a back-up of MoveMan  (as well any other software that you have) is extremely important.  The more MoveMan is used, the more you come to rely on it.  God forbid that should anything happen to your systems -i.e. fire, theft, natural disaster - then you have a backup that we can quickly restore for you.  Otherwise you might find it difficult to operate.  Once a file is lost there is little that can be done to bring the data back without a back-up.

The most important file to have a back-up of is mm98data.mdb which will be found on your main server/computer, but there are other files that should be backed up:

mm98.mdb

mm98mm.mdb

mm98rept.mdb 

shared documents folder

MoveWord folder

This can be backed up in various ways - using tape, cd-rw's and dvd-rw's or over the internet to a remote computer - to name but a few ways .  If you have IT support, speak with them and they will advise on the best way to do it.  If you don't have support, contact us and we can advise on action that can be taken. 

We will be shortly offering an on-line backup system that for a small monthly fee will enable us to ensure your core business information is backed up every day. The system we have been working on with one of our partners allows us to check remotely that your data is being backed up as expected. All that is required is a broadband internet connection and that the server PC is left on overnight. To register your interest about this please email  sales@eosuk.com.
