Summary

Introduction
It has been a long hot summer and we have been working on some amazing technology that is ready for you to use. Our plan was to hold user conferences long before this time but due to shipment delays from manufacturers and software development projects that kept getting bigger and bigger we are late. Now we are ready to introduce new technology that is available to your business.

This technology will affect the way you do business if you want it to. It can add hours of productive employee time to your company without adding hours of payroll expense. It will save many hours of labor or let that labor be put to more productive uses.  

We will discuss many new topics and have demonstrations planned of the technology that will help your business make or save money NOW. Join us in the user conferences to learn how.

The UDS User Conference will be on line again this year through Microsoft's Live Meeting. We have expanded the service to include more seats and provide for session recording. You will then be able to review the session at you leisure. It will be interesting.

To attend you will not even have to move from your seat. Get some popcorn and invite your co- workers to an entertaining technology show. We want to make it fun, challenging and educational.
