Exact is excited that Exact Globe is one of the first enterprise solutions that received the certification.

Technology and trend adoption: product update 395 is now available

Eric van der Palen — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:28:53 +0000

Today is an extremely exciting day for us at Exact. Together with our 25th anniversary we have launched a brand strategy and visual identity, a new corporate website and we have adopted ‘Exact’ as our new company name. More information about that is to be found in the Exact anniversary blog post that is published today.

At the Exact product organization we have made product 395 for Exact Globe also generally available today. For you that means that you can benefit from lots of new functionality and new possibilities.

First of all, as of this product update Exact Globe is officially certified for Windows 7. So if you have to buy new notebooks or pc’s for your organization, or if you want to upgrade the machines you currently have: Exact Globe supports the ‘latest and greatest’ Microsoft operating system. We are not going to tell you why you should consider Windows 7, as Microsoft can explain the benefits of Windows 7 much better than we do. One feature we do want to highlight: we have made the new Windows jumplist to work perfectly together with Exact Globe.

If you are a user of the E-Report module in Exact Globe, you are for sure going to benefit from Crystal Reports XI. This is our new reporting engine for Exact Globe E-Report, offering easier report design, simplified report maintenance and expanded data access. Every customer with an active maintenance agreement for E-Report will receive a DVD with the Crystal Reports XI software. Important: For E-Report users it is mandatory to install Crystal Reports XI together with product update 395.

Electronic Invoicing is a hot topic at the moment: it saves you the costs and efforts of printing and sending physical invoices, it saves your customers the costs of entering invoices in their bookkeeping systems and without using paper, ink and transportation services it also saves the environment. Product update 395 offers customers in the Netherlands and Belgium the opportunity to send invoices electronically. Electronic Invoicing currently supports exchanging invoices between Exact solutions and during this introduction period the use of this new service is free.

Under the hood, we have also done quite some efforts to improve the performance of Exact Globe. The degree of improvement you will notice is influenced by a lot of factors in your hardware and software. We are however proud to let you know that we received very positive feedback during the controlled release phase from both our partners and customers.

More information about product update 395 can be found in the release notes. Please let us know your experiences with product update 395.

Ready.Set.7. with Exact Globe

Ronald Voets — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:12:20 +0000

In April Exact concluded that its software would run better on the Windows 7 platform than on Vista. The decision was made to have Exact Globe running on the new operating system as soon as possible. As announced on Exact’s product blog in July, Exact Software wanted to become one of the first European software vendors to receive certification. By the time the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference took place in July, Exact Globe was certified and ready to run on Windows 7.

As a result of the certification, Exact is one of a select group of partners currently being promoted by Microsoft on the Ready. Set. 7. website. The certifcation places Exact Globe (as per product update 395) among the first wave of products that is Windows 7 compatible, well before the launch of the new OS, and allows us to profit from the exposure on the Microsoft website.

On the Ready. Set. 7. website you’ll find our logo and behind it, a short piece describing the advantages we’ll be able to provide to our customers thanks to the Windows 7 productivity enhancements. A short film featuring Aad ‘t Hart can also be viewed, in which he gives his views on what Windows 7 can do for our customers. “Windows 7 increases the productivity of the Exact Globe end user,” Aad says.

For end users, the OS will be faster, use less memory, and lengthen the battery life. For Exact Globe users, the user-friendlier task bar and ‘jump list’ will allow them to work more quickly and efficiently, with faster access to their most frequently used administrations. In short, the new Windows 7 will create value by allowing our customers to focus more on their core business.

Exact customers with access to Exact’s customer portal, can read more details in the release notes.
