Guardian Foundry System Gets a Whole New Look
 
Release 7.12.0000 is now available.  
 
With the release of 7.12.0000, the Guardian Foundry System will be sporting a whole new look and feel to the appearance of Guardian.  You will notice that we now have a "Vista" feel to all of the buttons i.e. add, change, delete, list boxes, etc.
 
Some of you may be receiving a letter requiring the upgrading of some of your 3rd party software programs. Please check with Tim Borchardt at timb@guardiansoft.com prior to installing this release to insure you are up to date.
Touch Screen Data Collection
and Paperless Routings
 
This module is now available in release 7.12.0000 at no charge for clients using the Enterprise Version.  If you are an Xpress or Professional User and wish to add this feature to your system, there is a one time site license of $5,000.  Please note data collection licenses are not included with the module.  They must be purchased separately.

Guardian Attends AFS Foundry Executive Conference
 
Both Steve and Janice Hoppe attended the 2007 Foundry Executive Conference in New Castle, NH.  Guardian became a corporate AFS member this year and felt it was appropriate to send a representative to this forum.  They both found the conference to informative and welcoming to new members.  They plan on attending next year's event in Lake Tahoe.
 
The schedule of the conference also allowed them some time for sightseeing the local attractions.
