The course is titled "Back Office Technology to Support Business Growth," and will take place at the show site from 8:00 to 9:15 a.m. in South Hall 2.

La Crosse Management Systems Unveils Application Integration with Sharp OSA On January 8 in Minneapolis, MN, and January 18 in Kansas City, MO, we attended two road show events sponsored by Sharp Document Solutions Company of America, in which the featured product was Sharp OSA. For those of you who are not familiar with Sharp OSA, it stands for Open Systems Architecture. This technology allows custom applications to be run right on the panel of a Sharp OSA-enabled MFP. We at La Crosse Management Systems were extremely proud to introduce a new application called OSA Raptor, in which users of Sharp OSA-enabled machines are able to enter, complete, and generate tickets for service calls. 
OSA Raptor also gives you the ability to review service history, initiate parts calls, generate supply order requests, and enter meter readings. This eliminates the need to use an internet-capable device, such as a PDA or laptop to work with service calls, supply orders, and meter readings in the field. Everything you need is right there on Sharp OSA-enabled MFPs. This is not just a concept, this is reality! A VERIFIED INDUSTRY FIRST! 
Store, Retrieve and Manage Windows Documents and Images in Nextgen As of the March 2007 update, La Crosse Nextgen will have a powerful integrated document and image management system. Through the technology of SQL Binary Large Objects (BLOB), this function eliminates the need to store and modify separate documents in folders on your workstation or network, or use a third party document management system. You can safely and conveniently attach and store any number of Windows documents or scanned images to use as supporting documentation for your Nextgen records. Attach documents such as signed proposals in PDF, notes in Word documents or text files, Excel spreadsheets, scanned photos, or signatures to serial records, leases, invoices, transactions, contracts, service calls, or customer records, as well as many others. Nextgen document and image management provides you with rock solid SQL security because your files are stored in one location, which is right in your Nextgen database. In addition, there is no need to worry about backing up your files, since your SQL database backup does all the work for you.

Nextgen Update Release Notes As of the 20061201.00 (December 2006) Nextgen update release, Nextgen’s Help system includes links to the topics describing each new feature and report included in the release. You can access this information by clicking "Release Notes from most recent Nextgen update" on the Nextgen Online Help Start panel, or selecting the following from the Contents tab: Getting Started > Recent Release Notes. The Help system also includes an expanded section of release notes with formatted tables containing all of the same information the Excel format readme files contain, so that you no longer have to open a separate file to access the detailed data for each Nextgen release. 
Closing Remarks View from the Top: The Definition of a Leader The definition of a leader is:
A prospective client asked us recently: "Why La Crosse instead of the competition?" The immediate response had to do with technology, software applications, feature return on investment, etc. Upon further reflection, the final comment was made. "You want to know that your dealership automation software is a leader, assures that you are a leader in your market, and the company behind it knows how to run in the lead." OMD didn’t, La Crosse always did and still does. We want to thank you for letting us be your partner in dealership automation software training and development. Until next time,
