Several things are going on in our test kitchen here at Port-to-Port. As you may recall, we changed our internal tracking system from our home-grown Gamut to one of the leading software applications, Autotask. In the next few weeks, we will unveil features that will make it easier for you to keep track of what’s going on with your network. In addition, we’re auditioning a new spam filtering service to replace SpamArrest and Clutterfree. This one works a bit differently and we haven’t reached consensus on whether it’s better, worse, or just different.
For those of you who are cringing at the idea of switching to Office 2007, we’ve found an add-in application that will restore the Office 97/2003 style menus. We’ll be testing it in our office to see if it behaves with other applications. We’re also moving forward with online backup trials and online marketing tactics that include blogging and social networks.
Apple will release an update to the iPhone software in June that promises to make it a viable option for you to use with Microsoft Exchange Server to get email, calendar, and contacts over-the-air. If it works, this will be my recommendation for greatest phone available, even though you can only get it with AT&T service.
Mark your calendars for May 8th. That’s the day that Port-to-Port will host the Microsoft Across America Truck in conjunction with our first ever Pertingo® Customer Appreciation event. More details will be coming as we finalize the plan.
