Hi everyone, I hope your summer was as enjoyable as mine. It has been two months since the last issue of this ezine, and I personally enjoyed the short break. This ezine continues our goal of sharing hints and tips as to how to better use Solomon. Please pass it on to others who use Solomon and can benefit from this free newsletter.

I have included, one article, which is really general marketing related. I ran across a great tool for making each of our business to business emails a mini marketing piece. The product, the ewp ecard, is a link (html code), which allows your business card to have hot links to multi media files. Check out the site at www.weblite.net . The product is less than $10/month for an ecard subscription, and it has the potential to drive new business for your company; and pay for itself many times over. See our article called: EWP Ecards—A Marketing Bonanza.

It is a sad reality that businesses are plagued by internet viruses. The cost to those who have been struck by one of these viruses or worms is tremendous. As business owners and users of computers, we need to adopt a pro active plan to counter these problems. We have created an article which outlines the minimal each of our companies should be doing.

Articles also we included for the special interest group of our user base who can greatly benefit from electronic check printing on plain paper using laser printers. Also we talk about some recent consulting assignments where we helped Solomon users transfer Orders out of Solomon to a format used by their remote warehouses. A brief tutorial was written for the Cash Manager module. We also highlighted a recent Solomon customization which allows the default check boxes to be de activated when a screen was opened. This customization article challenges us to realize that Solomon can be made to work “just a little” better when you stop and look for those simple changes to your data entry screens.

Next week we are off to the annual conference for Microsoft Business Solutions Division. This year, the MBS partner channel and the Microsoft partner channels are combining in the Momentum Conference in New Orleans. I look forward to sharing some of the exciting announcements which typically come out of this great event.

Regards
