"The system has a new 'look and feel,' but that's just the tip of the
iceberg," says Chris Meyers, lead developer on the project. "The usability
enhancements, as well as a number of technical modifications under the
hood, are what will give calendar managers and website visitors a
significantly improved experience."
"Cities, campuses, corporations and other organizations are becoming keenly
aware that easy access to information on meetings and events increases
awareness, attendance and, in many cases, revenue," says Kevin Raasch,
executive vice president for Dean Evans & Associates. "Simply posting a
notice on your website or on a shareware calendar is not enough. You need
a system that provides a whole host of tools for keeping people informed:
email reminders, calendar subscriptions, attachment capability for flyers,
photos, etc. In this economy, no opportunity to inform and entice
potential attendees can be overlooked."
Organizations with a current Annual Service Agreement (ASA) can log in to
the company's website to download the new release.
