RecFind 6.0 (R6)

R6 (we may call it RecFind.NET version 1.0) is a totally new product based on a new architecture. Unlike K1 (which was a browser based product written in ASP.NET), R6 is written in VB.NET as a Windows application. This means it has "Windows-like" screens, similar to RecFind 5.0 (R5).

However, R6 is also being written as a .NET "smart-client" so it can run over either your network (using ADO to communicate with the server) or the Internet/Intranet (using Web Services to communicate with the server). The IT manager will be able to specify which protocol to use for each user. So, for "in-house" users on the fast network he will specify ADO (the fastest protocol) and for those users where there is no network or a very slow network, he will specify Web Services (often called SOAP) as the protocol. This functionality provides the best of both worlds, allowing your IT people to optimize the performance of R6 for each user.

R6 will be 100% upwards compatible with R5 and will come with a conversion program to convert your R5 database to the new R6 database model in order to make the upgrade as easy as possible.

R6 will also "look-like" R5 but with far fewer screens and far simpler (to use) screens and functionality. If you are "keystroke-sensitive" it will make you very happy. Most of your users should be able to move from R5 to R6 with little or no retraining BUT, we will offer upgrade training courses in all markets.

The bonus will be the way we allocate R6 licenses. You will get one "full-power" R6 license for every RecFind-Corporate, RecFind-Professional, RecQuery and RecQuery-TC license you hold. The end result for most users being they will have far more full power licenses (for free). R6 licenses will also "time-out" (like K1) providing you will far more effective concurrent user licenses. There will be no R6 versions of RecFind-Professional, RecQuery or RecQuery-TC; these products are all replaced with R6. R6 has been designed to reduce your operational costs.

R6 will also be released simultaneously with new versions of the Button, HSSM, GEM and RecCapture.

Expect to see R6 sometime between February and June 2008; we will be able to firm up the date later this year.

The New K1 Book

Knowledgeone (K1): Everything you need to know

by Kieren Martin & Frank McKenna

Knowledgeone ^K1 is truly a new genre of product (a .NET generic application solution) and as such we needed a new way for our customers to understand just what it can do.

In this case, we took a lesson out of Microsoft’s book and created a new venture, Knowledgeone Press. The first product from this new entity is our new Knowledgeone ^K1 book.

This is a book for professionals that need to work with K1 and configure K1 and make K1 do all kinds of wonderful things to solve multiple business problems. As well as clearly explaining all the features and capabilities of K1 it also covers using Xchange and the DRM. It shows you how to change any aspect of K1 (the Data Model or any business process) and provides plenty of examples of how to use K1 for example as a records management system, a human resources management system, a library management system, an asset management system, etc.

This is the ultimate reference guide for any professional intending to use K1 to solve one or more business application requirements.

If you are the IT manager or application manager responsible for K1 you must have a copy of this book; it will answer every question you have and it will make your job hundreds of times easier. It will also save you an enormous amount of time and help you avoid any pitfalls. And, it just might make you look like a superstar to everyone else in your organization.

At just $38.50 it will be the best investment you will make this year.

RecFind & K1 Button Updates

There are now new versions of the RecFind and K1 Buttons (and both integrate to pdfDocs). Both also work with Vista and Office 2007 for you early adopters.

The new K1 Button now sits in the toolbar of MS Office products like Outlook and Word as well as in the SysTray (so you can still capture documents not authored by MS Office).

The RecFind Button update will be available for download from the K1 website in the next couple of days.

Subscription Pricing and Software as a Service

We already provide the most cost-effective pricing model (the perpetuity model with concurrent user licenses) and to this we now add two new options, Subscription pricing and Hosting.

Subscription

Subscription pricing is like a rental with no up front fees and the ability to cancel after six months. It is the most flexible, lowest cost and lowest risk pricing option.

Software as a Service (SaaS)
The SaaS offering is where we host and manage your application at a secure site. It is available for K1 and R6. SaaS is ideal for those customers that don’t want the hassle of buying, installing, configuring and maintaining application servers. SaaS is available under the Subscription pricing paradigm; one low monthly fee covers everything including support, maintenance and upgrades. For more information on this new way of delivering application software please refer to the link below:
