Ingenious Software News

It’s been a while since I did a post here, but we’ve had some changes around the office that have given us a bit more time to work with, so we thought it would be a good time to revive a long-standing tradition.

It’s been a very busy year for us here at Ingenious Software. In January we started rollout of the new, improved FP2. As with any new software release, we’ve had some challenges and some delays – all of which have kept us very busy.

At this point, things are starting to stabilize. We now have around 80 clients using the new version, and the feedback has generally been very positive. We’ve made the software more flexible, easier to use and much, much more user-friendly.

We aren’t quite ready to totally throw open the doors for conversions, although we’re very close. I’m including some information here about the architecture of the new FP2 system, which you can pass on to your IT department for use in planning your conversion.

We’re not putting any hard time limits on when you need to move to the new system, but our plan is that all of you will eventually convert. We are providing this upgrade free of charge to all clients with a service contract – the rationale is that we don’t want to support 2 pieces of software.

The current “Classic” version of FP2 is still supported, and we recognize that conversion time frames will vary, so we’re allowing you to schedule when you want to convert to the new system. I’ll be announcing a “doors open” date in the late summer when everyone who wants to convert can schedule a date – but we’re taking it a bit slower for the moment.

I know that this has been a long time coming, and we’re really excited and happy that the new program is finally being used. Thanks for being patient – and if you haven’t converted yet – just a bit more is all that we ask for. We want to bring you the best possible piece of software, and we’re almost there!
