Thanks to everyone who made it to the Open House!  We had a great showing and those who were present were able to see a "Sneak Preview" of our Business Management Software which has been under development for many months now.  When released, the product will be named Capriccio Fuzion.  I expect public release to be sometime next month.  We will be offering an Early Adopters program for the first few companies who come on-board.  This program will offer a 40% discount for life and also an opportunity to get features and enhancements built into the product before the general release.  Stay tuned for more details.

The move of all Fuzion servers from ServePath to Amazon is complete.  We accomplished a monumental move in less than 12 hours.  We conducted beta testing on the new servers prior to moving customers over which in hindsight was a good move.  We were able to make some additional performance enhancements without having to worry about taking customers down during business hours.  With all users on the new servers, the performance in the Smart Client is AMAZING.  The servers and network are performing multiple times faster than our previous hosting solution.  We also have increased our redundancy with the ability to quickly clone servers and add multiple web servers to the load balancer on a moments notice.  During peak usage, we can now add additional web servers to handle the increased load with no negative effect on users.  In addition, our data is now backed up on multiple devices across several data centers.  This gives us excellent disaster recovery capabilities. 

Now that the server move is complete, we will be focusing on more customer requested features so look for them in the near future!

We will be performing an upgrade this weekend for all Fuzion customers.  In addition, we are upgrading our server hardware.  Users will be unable to access Fuzion from 2000 EST on Saturday July 31st until 0200 EST on Sunday August 1st.

We are working hard around the office today putting the final touches on the 10.1.4 release.  In addition to new features, we are doing a major upgrade to our server infrastructure to support the additional users who have started using Fuzion in the last few months.  We’ve been using the new servers internally and with one customer and the performance is excellent.  All Fuzion users should see faster screens on Monday!  We will update the What’s New page once the release is finished so users can check out the new features.  Here is a link to the What’s New page.  http://www.capricciofuzion.com/whatsnew/

The development team for Capriccio Fuzion has just released the Fuzion/Quickbooks Integration module.  The module is available at no additional charge to all existing Fuzion customers.  Quickbooks Integration has been the most highly requested new feature from both existing and potential customers.  This module keeps data in Capriccio Fuzion and Quickbooks in sync highly reducing the administrative burden of Fuzion users.

The following objects are synchronized between the two platforms.

• Customers
• Projects (Fuzion) & Jobs (Quickbooks)
• Employees
• Payroll Items
• Service Items
• Chart of Accounts
• Time Entries

The Fuzion EAP program is officially ending today.  I’d like to thank the customers who participated and provided valuable insight into the product.  There is no substitute for having actual customers beating on a system and asking if it can do more.  Fuzion is a better for having had the early adopters and I am grateful for your help.

Fuzion is now in full release and we will be stepping up our Sales & Marketing efforts.  Stay tuned…

Business continues to look exciting for 2009!  We are very fortunate to be experiencing growth in such hard economic times.  We continue to forge strong relationships with our partners and our launch of Capriccio Fuzion has catapulted us toward the achievement of our primary goals.

We are looking to fill an urgent Software Engineer position so send me an e-mail if you or someone you know is interested.  The position is in our Stafford, Virginia office, so the commute for a Stafford resident would be excellent!
