Looking back at the shows we have exhibited at in 2010, the strongest feeling I walked away with was that a positive shift is definitely happening in our industry. Like any other company, we really had to analyze where our money would be allocated throughout the year. The issue of exhibiting or not exhibiting at trade shows was a big focus, since so many resources are required to pull off a successful show. With shows being exceptionally slow in 2008 and 2009, the option of not exhibiting became even more attractive.

Since our last newsletter, we’ve received several questions regarding the release of RentalMan Version 11.  We compiled these inquiries to create a Frequently Asked Questions document to help you better understand Version 11’s features, the overall upgrade process and how this will affect you.

Some questions we answer in our FAQ Guide:

• What’s new in Version 11?
• Do I need to schedule my upgrade?
• How much will upgrading cost?
• What is the process of an upgrade?

Due to the great response we received from our June credit card processing WebEx, we thought it might be a good idea to circle back to see if there were any additional questions or comments on the topic. For those of you that missed the training session, you can view a recording of it as well as the associated documentation on our User Assistance Site. Areas that we found customers to be the most excited about were:

• No additional monthly or licensing fees
• One point of support for both RentalMan and Credit Card Issues
• Hosted service – fewer possible adjustments
• All credit traffic will require a RentalMan document. No unauthorized terminal usage.
