I think Steve should have waited until he had 5 beers in him before posting. Much more fun to read.

They have done alot of work on this new version they have out. We are in the process of demoing it and just did a live import of data from our old version The features in this are slick, the interface doesnt look like something from 1982 anymore It seems responsive and intuitive The big thing today was the 477 export. I personally did not want to have to learn any of the back end stuff on prepping the 477 to file for something that doesnt benefit us and is only done twice a year. I allocated until the filing deadline all my time to focusing on actually reading the FCC crap, collecting the data, formatting it, etc. Powercode just released their functional tool, so i set aside two of those days to get a build live and import our data, I had a couple issues, but it was mainly my dumb ass causing them. Got the live data running, ran the tool and uploaded our stuff. The whole process took around ten minutes, and I still dont even know or care exactly what the FCC is getting, all I know is its done, assuming its correct, and I didnt have to stab anybody. If you are looking for a platform that does your goodness for you (this issue comes up about once a month) Powercode has become a top notch product. Managing your guys time is one of the features just implemented, it needs a little fine tuning, but you can have utter morons handling your scheduling and the system makes sure things dont get too out of hand handling your business with helpdesk ticketing just became a real option with this build too, centralized, tied to your actual customers... nice The billing features have been good for a long time, not alot of changes to that, but for the most part there didnt need to be. Monitoring your network has gotten great, trend base probing and alerting. This does alot of what a fully functional stand alone NMS does. And they added a cloud for the userbase to share probes, no more asking guys how to do this and thet, then getting a vague answer you have to figure out how to implement - genius Buy powercode today while supplies last!!
