Greetings!
The importance of keeping the lines of communication open with one's business partners cannot be overemphasized. At ME-PC we believe a relationship can only thrive if both parties involved maintain those lines of communication. Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

PDF Blaster- a great tool
We like to work with tools that can fit into a wide range of company types using many different products. PDF Blaster is one of these tools. For many companies being able to email or fax sales order confirmations, purchase orders and/or invoices to customers and vendors can be a great time saver. PDF Blaster does just that plus more.
PDF Blaster is also very intuitive and easy to use. You just need to switch the document to the PDF Blaster printer, a PDF is created, and an email is sent. PDF Blaster works directly with many accounting and ERP systems. If the direct link does not already exist, the delivery email address can be added to the report or form in a hidden field. This is especially important if your office is trying to Go Green. If you want to know more or think this product can make your company more efficient, please contact me for a free DEMO.

 Brand News from Sage Summit 2011 As ME-PC returns from the North American Sage Summit in Washington DC, we reflect on some of the big announcements. Read the Sage release below to get the latest news from Sage.
Sage outlined plans to build a robust Sage brand in support of a return to strong organic growth. During the opening keynote, led by Sage North America CEO, Pascal Houillon, two key initiatives were described.
The first was the launch of a new Sage advertising campaign that includes a national buy of network radio, in addition to print and online placements. Using the theme of "A Sage Business Knows," the campaign focuses on the benefits that companies gain through their use of Sage solutions. The campaign is focused on building the Sage brand, and not on individual products.
The second was a preview of Sage's intent to create a clearer naming structure for its solutions, grouping its offerings into families of solutions aimed at key market segments. Many product names will be dropped in favor of the overall Sage identity. The full details of this plan will be provided later this fall, but is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.
Here's a link to some frequently asked questions. |
