F-U-N at SLA: Show Wrap-Up

Another successful SLA event to add to the roster. We enjoyed seeing all of you in D.C. and we hope you found the conference to be informative and educational. The Inmagic booth was hopping and both the KM Division event and Inmagic customer receptions were hits. (We have proof!)

Check out the video, pictures and podcasts we captured from the show. Be sure to check back to our blog as there are more show postings to come.

Here’s an interesting SLA tidbit: Daniel Lee (@yankeeincanada), who spearheaded the @sla2009 effort, has captured all SLA 2009-related Tweets in one place – all 3,600+ of them!  Even if you know nothing about Twitter, you'll be able to read about the sessions and link to presentations and other news.

Don’t forget to check out our blog for more show feedback on why we feel bullish and upbeat coming out of the SLA event. Mark your calendars for another great event next year!

Presto 3.1: Plays Well with Others

At SLA, we announced Presto 3.1, the latest and greatest version of our Social Knowledge Management Platform.

There are lots of benefits to 3.1 – but the most notable is increased interoperability with SharePoint. By improving compatibility with your existing infrastructure, we’ve given you the opportunity to quickly embrace social KM while maximizing current investments – without putting a strain on your budget, time or human resources. Pretty cool, huh?

If you want to learn more about how Presto complements your SharePoint implementation, check out Inmagic Presto Social Knowledge Management Platform: Enhancing Microsoft SharePoint Within Your Social Knowledge Management Strategy, a paper that covers all the basics.

Just Announced: DB/TextWorks v12

This week, Inmagic announced the latest version of DB/TextWorks. Key enhancements have been added to improve database maintenance and workflow – including improvements to batch modify, search, reporting and imaging capabilities.

Customers on maintenance automatically receive this release as part of an annual maintenance contract, and thus can take advantage of these enhanced features and functionality at no additional cost. Download instructions will be available and distributed to customers on maintenance the week of July 6th.

For more information about DB/TextWorks and Inmagic’s DB/Text Library Suite, please visit www.Inmagic.com.
