Now Available - MISys Manufacturing Custom Configurator!
Manufacturing companies that perform significant make-to-order work will find the MISys Custom Configurator an invaluable addition to the MISys Manufacturing System. The Custom Configurator is rules-based so that
only pre-defined configurations can be built. The program guides you through selecting the appropriate options and automatically populates a corresponding manufacturing order.
If you've ever purchased a new car, or even a personal computer, you've experienced rules-based configuration. “If you want leather seats, you must have the ‘Comfort Group’ which includes heated mirrors and
pneumatic cupholders.” Or, “if you want a CD-ROM and a DVD drive, you need a 200-watt power supply, but you cannot have a Zip drive.”
The MISys Custom Configurator was designed to meet the needs of manufacturers who build specific variations of a product based on a pre-defined set of configuration options.
Rules Based configurations
Configuration Templates
Custom Configurations
Create Manufacturing Orders
Precise Product Costing
Custom Configure ACCPAC Sales Orders

MISys Custom Configurator requires ACCPAC Advantage Series System Manager 5.2, MISys Manufacturing 5.2 and/or ACCPAC Advantage Series Order Entry 5.2.

3 Marketing Tactics to Use Right Now
Article from http://www.entrepreneur.com
Not sure which marketing tactics will work best for you in today's economy? Here are your 3 best bets.
Focus on In-House Lists
It may be bad news for list rental firms, but while campaigns to rented lists are reportedly producing unsatisfactory results, both off-line and online mailings to in-house files are working well. This is particularly welcome
news if you've been compiling a prospect and customer database. If not, now is the time to add a registration form to the main page of your Web site to create your own opt-in e-mail list and bring your in-house mailing list up-to-date for postal
campaigns.
If you want to move ahead quickly with an e-mail campaign but don't have your own opt-in list, consider advertising in e-newsletters that go to the house lists of organizations that reach your target audience. Then, offer
respondents who click through to your Web site an incentive to register to receive e-mail solicitations directly from you.
Add PR Programs
Public relations may take many forms--from print articles placed in consumer and trade press to cause-related marketing--and virtually all are effective ways of building awareness, thanks to the credibility PR carries. In fact, if you're not presently
involved in cause-related marketing, now may be the time to start. Whether you're marketing to businesses or consumers, linking your company and its efforts to a worthy cause is an effective way to communicate brand values while doing the right thing.
According to a report from MediaPost, a new trade group called the Cause Marketing Forum predicts cause marketing spending will top $1 billion by the end of 2004, as more and more businesses make it an integral part of their PR programs.
Fuel Positive Word-of-Mouth
If you're wondering how important customer satisfaction is to your bottom line, consider this--in a recent SIMM survey published by BIGresearch, more than 80 percent of small-business owners ranked word-of-mouth as either "very important" or "important"
in influencing their purchasing decisions. And nearly 90 percent responded by saying they sought advice from others before buying "regularly" or "occasionally." This underscores the tremendous importance of B2B marketing programs that effectively build
two-way communication with your current customer base as well as ongoing programs designed to fuel buzz.
Right now, tactics that build word-of-mouth, as well as public relations efforts and communication with in-house lists, are producing the best results for marketers. But this could change at any moment. The majority of the B2B
marketers surveyed by MarketingSherpa said they are ready to change tactics on a dime--which is great advice even in the best economic times.

Virus Alert - W32.Mydoom.A@mm
Be on the look out for suspicious emails The W32.Mydom worm is listed as a high threat assessment.
W32.Mydoom.A@mm (also known as W32.Novarg.A) is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip.
When a computer is infected, the worm sets up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 through 3198, which can potentially allow an attacker to connect to the computer and use it as a proxy to gain access to its
network resources.
In addition, the backdoor can download and execute arbitrary files.
The worm attempts to send email messages using its own SMTP engine. The worm looks up the mail server that the recipient uses before sending the email. If it is unsuccessful, it will use the local mail server instead.
The email will have the following characteristics:
From: The "From" address may be spoofed.
Subject: The subject will be one of the following:
test
hi
hello
Mail Delivery System
Mail Transaction Failed
Server Report
Status

Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available.
The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.
