Join the CattleMax Online Workshop Next Week

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

We always have requests for more training sessions and other ways for us to get together. We wanted to offer this opportunity to as many of you as possible, and we thought the best way to do that was with an online workshop.

To get things started this month, Penny is hosting two workshops next Tuesday, October 21st. These first two workshops will both cover a general overview of CattleMax CS, and leave plenty of time to answer your questions.

It should be a big help for anyone who is still looking at the trial version, just purchased CattleMax, or converting from an older version and needing help learning CattleMax CS.

You can register for the 10am CST morning workshop, or register for the 7pm CST evening workshop.

We hope you’ll join us!

Announcing CattleMax Online Backup Service

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Over the past ten years, we have heard from so many producers who have experienced a computer crash, fire or other disaster that destroyed years of cattle records. Unfortunately, they had not kept good backups of their records. They either didn’t make them at all, just stored them on their hard drive, or had kept them on CDs or disks in a drawer next to their computer.

This meant they had lost not just their current working file, but years of historical information they could never retrieve—a situation we want to help you avoid. We know how important it is for you to always have access to your cattle records, and how lost you might be if they disappeared. We have always suggested for you to backup your records often, and store these backups in a separate location from your computer.

This fall, we decided to help you out even more. We created the CattleMax Online Backup Service, based on 13 years of proven technology from Amazon.com.

Now, when you backup your CattleMax herd file, there will be an option for “Online”. This system guarantees your records are safe and secure, accessible from any computer with CattleMax and an Internet connection, and protected from any disaster.
