April Update
Let me tell ya, it can be hard thinking about blogging when running a company. I've started a few essays, but haven't had the time to bring them to life yet. So what's been going on with myself and Atalasoft this past month? Here's the abridged version:
1) We started using SCRUM at Atalasoft and delivered DotImage 5.0 nearly on time on March 13. Agile now has a new meaning here at Atalasoft.
2) On March 22 I presented "Blogging Basics" for the RTC along with Mike Taber and Marwan Zubi. Mike gave a great blogging presentation. I backed it up with a case study of corporate blogging. Marwan presented on some interesting legal issues of blogging. The Podcast of the presentation should be available soon.
3) Sunday March 25 I was surprised to be on the front page of the Springfield Republican (our local newspaper). Guess it was a slow news day. =)
4) Atalasoft's revenues grew by 69% in Q1 2007 over Q1 2006.
5) We decided to start a new consulting division at Atalasoft. Looks like a win-win for Atalasoft. Our customers are requesting these services. We can't provide these services without losing focus on innovating our core products which is our primary goal. Therefore we are creating a new services division specializing in document management / ECM enterprise applications where we can dogfood our own toolkit. Interested in building this division with us?
6) We've released our AJAX Document Annotations Demo on our public website. This demonstrates some of Atalasoft's latest innovations in browser based document imaging bringing annotation capabilities to our existing thin-client document viewing/processing component.
7) Lou Franco will be presenting "Bringing your Document Imaging Applications to the Web with AJAX" at the AIIM conference in Boston next week. If you're going to be at AIIM, please signup for the sessions. I promise, you'll learn something about AJAX by attending. This isn't a marketing fluff talk.
Looking forward to seeing some of you at AIIM next week. Send me an email or stop by Booth #3229 if you'd like to meet up.
