ACUTECH 2010 - Nov 2nd & 3rd</a></div> <div class="bodytext"> <p> I'm pleased to announce that we will be hosting an ACUTECH Users' Group Conference later this year. The conference is scheduled just before PUBWEST on <strong>Nov 2nd and 3rd in Santa Fe</strong> and will be held at <a href="http://www.innatloretto.com/"> The Inn and Spa at Loretto</a>. </p> <p> While the schedule won't be posted for a few weeks yet, I can tell you a few key points about what we have planned. We chose the venue and are designing the conference so that publishing professionals who use ACUMEN will have a great environment to share information with each other and with CyberWolf staff members. There will be multiple sessions about ACUMEN v10 &#8212 a brand new version containing lots of features that will streamline your publishing operation and increase your team's productivity. It is the first ACUMEN version to run on the 4D SQL engine, which means a faster, more stable, and more scalable application to support your organization's growth. We will also be highlighting important new CyberWolf initiatives that we believe will really make a difference for you. Finally, we will be providing a roadmap for future development. Due to the venue, we will not be able to accommodate as many participants as the last ACUTECH gathering. <strong>The ACUTECH content will be of greatest benefit to ACUMEN administrators and strategic decision makers in your company</strong>. If you are interested in attending, please reserve the dates and keep a close eye out for future announcements. </p> </div> </td> </tr> <!-- END BODY NEWS ITEM --> <!-- BEGIN BODY NEWS ITEM --> <tr> <td align="left"> <hr color="#009999" width="550" /> <br /> <div class="articletitle"> <a name="2">2. ONIX 3.0</a></div> <div class="bodytext"> <p> We are currently developing the next iteration of the ACUMEN ONIX system. While the ability to support ONIX 3.0 was the initial motivation for this development project, the goal is far more ambitious. We recognize that many of you are still using third-party systems to store and transmit your ONIX data and that typically costs you extra money. Our goal is to create an ONIX system that meets or beats all standalone systems on the market in terms of usability, flexibility, and capability. Furthermore, we intend to continually improve integration between the ONIX system and relevant operational aspects of ACUMEN. You can download the specifications for the new system <a href="http://www.acumenbook.com/Clientconnect/newforclients/ACUMENONIXEnhancementsand3.0Support.pdf"> here</a>. </p> <p> If after reviewing the document you have some ideas about how we can improve the system even more, please contact Michael Oritz (<a href="mailto:mortiz@cyberwolf.com">mortiz@cyberwolf.com</a>) and share your suggestions. </p> </div> </td> </tr> <!-- END BODY NEWS ITEM --> <!-- BEGIN BODY NEWS ITEM --> <tr> <td align="left"> <hr color="#009999" width="550" /> <br /> <div class="articletitle"> <a name="3">3. CyberWolf Download Service&#8482; Supports Bundles</a> </div> <div class="bodytext"> <p> Offering physical book/ebook bundle products are a great way to drive sales on your web site, since you can offer value above and beyond what a consumer can receive from Amazon or physical bookstores. The good news is that both ACUMEN and the CyberWolf Download Service&#8482; (CDS) support this type of offering. You can provide an ebook that is simply an electronic version of the physical book, an ebook that has extra material in it, or an ebook that is only an addendum to the physical book. Pricing is totally flexible as well. Please contact Benjamin Thomas (<a href="mailto:bthomas@cyberwolf.com"> bthomas@cyberwolf.com</a>) if you would like to learn more about the CDS. </p> </div> </td> </tr> <!-- END BODY NEWS ITEM --> <!-- BEGIN BODY NEWS ITEM --> <tr> <td align="left"> <hr color="#009999" width="550" /> <br /> <div class="articletitle"> <a name="4">4. Important Information About Receiving New Versions</a> </div> <div class="bodytext"> <p> The New Version Highlights document that ships on every ACUMEN update CD is an important tool to ensure your organization gets the most out of our <em>Continual Technology Upgrade</em> program. From meeting with many of you during Digital Book World and Tools of Change, Benjamin and Brent learned that some organizations are not distributing that document to team members who should receive it. In order to facilitate that distribution process, we recently changed how we send you ACUMEN updates. The email that Joan sends out alerting our contact person at your company that a new version CD is being sent out now includes the New Version Highlights document as an attachment. It should be really easy to forward the attachment to your team members so that they can quickly learn about the new features in ACUMEN. Taking advantage of new features as they become available is an easy way to ensure that your company is getting the most for its investment. </p> </div> </td> </tr> <!-- END BODY NEWS ITEM --> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <br /> <table border="1" bordercolor="#009999" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="602"> <tr> <td align="left"> <font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><!---This Pipeline was sent from ACUMEN Book using the Email List Management module.</font> <hr color="#009999" width="550" /> <font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The ACUMEN Pipeline is your source for relevant business and technology news and information.
