Boston, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, on a crisp and clear evening taken from Memorial Drive in Cambridge. I loved this image so much that I had it printed and framed and it is hanging on my dining room wall. In my humble opinion, It is one of the best photographs I have taken and one of the reasons I started an online store. The store allows me (and maybe only me) to have my photographs custom printed and framed with no cropping. Friend me on Facebook, look at my blogs, or look me up on Flickr. My online photograph store is now open. Click to Shop. | In This Issue | |

Event Driven Communication At TRI, we spend a good deal of time creating event driven automation. This has its obvious application in processes You can take entire courses on the subject, but to be brief, communicating with your customer is one of the basic rules of customer service. Creating new ways to BENEFICIALLY communicate is always a challenge. Have a discussion with your customers and use the information in your database to help you define what factors are valuable to your customer and decide what information should be sent based on what occurrence. That is, as a field of information in your database is added or changed or a date/time threshold has been met, it can trigger an email, an item being posted to a web site, a text, a calendar event, or the creation of a personalized URL resulting in a custom and dynamic web page. It can be asynchronous (one-way) or suggest a response of some kind. The response might point your customer to a custom and secure web page dynamically created for their benefit. Your customer is made aware of something they did not know, they are given an opportunity to look further using your supplied link if that is appropriate or they can file the notification away for future use or research. in the end, you are promoting great communication and possibly interaction with your customer. All that is required is the functionality and a set of adjustable event rules and options. Examples would be delivery notifications, product availability, monthly tonnage reports, order confirmations, notification of impending storage charges, expiration of free time notice, over due invoice notices, inventory on-hand notices, shipment confirmations, transport delay notifications, high balance notifications, volume driven special offers, service evaluations, customer service response survey, service level updates, or a simple thank you.

Windows / SQL End of Life We will be surveying all clients over the next few months to transition any Windows Server 2003 or SQL Server 2005 These applications expire March of 2016 and it would be our very strong recommendation that we transition as suggested by Microsoft. As Microsoft puts it; Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy provides consistent and predictable guidelines for product support availability when a product releases and throughout that product's life. By understanding the product support available, customers are better able to maximize the management of their IT investments and strategically plan for a successful IT future. Add these to the ever growing list of retired Microsoft Products like Office 97, Word 6.0, PowerPoint 4.0, Access 2007, Exchange Server 5.5, Site Server, SNA Server 3.0, Internet Information Server, Visual Basic 5.0, Windows NT, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows and, alas, Microsoft Bob. | ||
