Online Meetings Are Finally Here!

It's time to hold more meetings on the Web.

HyperMeeting supports integrated audio, application sharing, presentations, file sharing, whiteboard and other built-in tools. You can share your desktop and even switch on the built-in recording capabilities. Start your sales conference, online seminar or project meeting. If you need assistance, you can fire up live tech support on the fly. Use HyperMeeting anytime, anywhere, using any browser -- on any PC or Mac. There's nothing for you to install, fix, upgrade and patch, because HyperMeeting and HyperOffice both operate as webware.

What's New with HyperOffice

With the overwhelming buzz surrounding our dedicated iPhone user interface, we have continued development efforts to better provide a complete business solution for iPhone users. Our latest development goes beyond the existing integrated groups, email, tasks and events functions into an application which enables you to retrieve documents direct from your HyperOffice portal to view with your iPhone.

Upcoming in 2008: Access your database information anywhere with HyperBase. Like MS Access, HyperBase lets you build custom databases, but is much easier and is accessible online. With fully customizable fields, build your workflow without the hassle of programming. Our online forms streamline data collection, and with simple reporting and querying, the possibilities are endless.

Customer Spotlight

ClinicAid is a full service, boutique, contract research organization providing a broad scope of services to support early and late stage clinical drug development processes. The fully integrated HyperOffice task manager, business-class email, and online calendaring tools provide a uniquely streamlined process for keeping employees and vendors updated on important information and in-touch through a real-time environment. "The savings over Microsoft Exchange was a whopping $28,000, not to mention the ongoing cost of maintenance. This made the decision to move to HyperOffice a no-brainer." Dr. Tapp of ClinicAid quickly saw the opportunity and realized this was the best option for his growing company.

Simplifying the Navigation of your Portal

With HyperOffice Publisher, you have the ability to fully customize the look, feel and navigation of your portal. This is a service built in to the current HyperOffice package and may be one of the most under-utilized aspects of the HyperOffice Total Collaboration Suite—though it may be one of the most powerful. The ability to integrate dynamically-populated information such as calendar events, tasks, contacts, and documents on both the personal and group level, allows HyperOffice Publisher to become a completely integrated intranet/extranet solution with a visual interface that is fully customizable to your company's image and even on the group/departmental level.

You may add images, shortcuts and subpages to your homepage by launching the Publisher function in the group section of your portal. Dedicated training sessions and portal customization is available as a paid service. Please contact our account management team at 301.255.0018 x116 for details.

Free Q&A Session

"I'm not a technical person, so I was a bit intimidated when I was elected the administrator of our company's HyperOffice portal. During the Q&A session, the trainer addressed my questions in such a plain spoken manner that not only did I gain an understanding of how to oversee the product, but I felt at ease with it. ~ HyperOffice Customer

As an existing customer, you are entitled to attend as many Q&A sessions as you feel necessary. This is a free service done in a webinar format. You may sign-up by visiting the link below. If you are interested in a dedicated training session for your company, arrangements may be made with our Account Management team at 301.255.0018 x 116

8 Geeky Ways to Save Gas

Courtesy of PC Magazine

  • Find the best gas prices on the Web. A site like GasBuddy.com or GasPriceWatch.com lets you search by ZIP code or city and state to find the cheapest per-gallon price in your neck of the woods.
  • Look for online gas promotions. For example, if you're planning a vacation, check out BedandBreakfast.com, which offers free-gas promotions at a wide variety of B&B locations across the country.
  • Use GPS or mapping tools. Map out your route in advance to devise the shortest route (rather than the fastest one), which can also put you on secondary roads where you'll drive more slowly—another gas-saving benefit.
  • Share a ride with your Web buddies. You can set up a schedule for trips to and from work or even organize grocery-shopping trips as a group. You can also check the ride board section of your area's craigslist to split the gas on your next trip by taking on some riders (or for finding a ride yourself).
  • Track your gas use. A dashboard gauge, such as the ScanGauge ($169.95 direct, www.scangauge.com) keeps track of your MPG and will troubleshoot if your "Check Engine" light comes on. And it's portable, so you can take it from car to car.
  • Know your car's health. Using a diagnostic device, such as the CarMD ($89.99 direct, www.carmd.com), can tell you exactly what's wrong with your car—including what could be dragging down your MPG—so you can keep it in top running order. Or you can use it simply to keep your mechanic honest, which can also save you money.
  • Replace your engine computer chip. Replacing your car engine's main management chip can increase fuel efficiency and boost performance.
  • Ecomod your car. Ecomodding (or ecotuning) is a buzzword for modifying your vehicle or driving style to achieve bleeding-edge fuel efficiency. At Ecomodder.com, you can learn about adding aerodynamic components (such as a sleek truck cap or wheel skirts) and tips for "hypermiling" (using driving methods that save gas).
