Swirly Tags

If you look at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you will see a Flash movie that contains tags that have been automatically generated from the content on this page.  You will find one on every page of the blog.

Click on a tag, and you will see a number of areas related to the tag you have clicked on.  You can keep on following these on (which can be quite fun), or instead use the search buttons at the bottom, to search this site, Google, Wikipedia or Amazon.

This is a generic implementation of our tagging engine, which can be configured for specific applications.

Look out for tags in brackets - this is the first implementation of our “Theme” engine, where we assess the underlying theme behind a document.

And we’re back…

August is always a slow time, especially it seems in the software industry!

However, we’re (almost) all back and firing on all cylinders.

Over the course of the next couple of months we will start to roll out some new products that have been inspired by our discussions with customers.  For the most part, users love R/KYV, but are frustrated by niggles, sometimes in workflow, sometimes integration related, or sometimes support related.  Those installations I have spoken to that have R/KYV running well wouldn’t swap it for anything, and the others are doing their best.

In all cases, though, there are some key features that users feel have been left out, or negelected.  Fortunately, the R/KYV API lets independent companies like us produce high quality tools to address these areas.  If you have any suggestions, please e-mail us at suggestions (at) docusite.co.uk

Save on Software Maintenance!

We’re launching a new service to Local Authorities to help them reduce annual software maintenance charges. Quite often, these are pre-budgeted and paid as they come in, and there isn’t the time to query them.

We are offering to analyse all software maintenance contracts for free, and where necessary analyse actual software use, and to negotiate with suppliers for a reduction in future charges. If we agree a reduction, you pay us a percentage of the saving.

On our staff we have a lawyer, software professionals and a business analyst, all of whom have extensive industry experience.

If we can’t save you money, you don’t pay a penny, so we bear the risk. Hopefully it doesn’t sound too good to be true. In the current climate, everyone is being told to make savings, but the effort involved interferes with the day-to-day running of the department. Our job is to bridge that gap.
