JohnWelcome to our first newsletter!

 

The newsletter will be e-mailed on a monthly basis and will initially contain 3 sections.

 

Those sections are:

  • Tech Talk.  Amy will keep you up to date on all of the Sage, MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500, CRM, FAS and Abra news.  You will learn about new features, upcoming new versions, tax table updates and more.  Her section will also include how-to videos on a variety of subjects such as:
    • How to create a MAS 90 Visual Integrator job
    • How to create and FRx report for MAS 90/200 or MAS 500
    • Using the MAS 90/200 ODBC data source to export data
    • How to import a journal entry into MAS 500
    • How to setup the Abra Link for MAS 90/200
  • Ramblings.  John's thoughts and observations about general business topics for small and medium-sized businesses. Have you been thinking about social media for your business? How do you choose a website designer? How do you effectively manage projects for your business? Would you like to know why work sucks and how to fix it? Or maybe you would like to know where to get great barbecue (the noun variety, not the verb). Or even where to eat on your vacation in Myrtle Beach
  • Webinars. Adrian will be posting event details for our upcoming monthly webinar series. A list of webinar subjects can be found here.

We will be adding a fourth section titled Customer Spotlight where we will feature one of our customers every month.  The section will contain an overview of our customer's business and how Aries has helped them achieve their goals.

 

You may be wondering why would name our newsletter Ramifications.  Well, the first reason is that it is play on words based on our company name.  In Greek mythology, the constellation Aries represents the ram.  Secondly, the ramifications of a decision regarding a technology project can have dire consequences for your business if you do not have a thorough understand of the issues.  To use a medical analogy, would you want to have triple bypass heart surgery without a doctor giving you an extensive check up?  The same is true of technology projects.  Undertaking one without the proper diagnosis can result in the death of the patient:  your business.

 

The newsletter is being designed by Chad Barr and his awesome team at CB Software.  Chad's company is an integral part of our internet marketing strategy including the design of our website.
