We've been a little quiet on the blog and twitter over the last few weeks and this has mainly boiled down to one thing; summer holidays. Ok, so if you're in the UK like us, then summer has meant quite a bit of rain intermingled with slightly less rain and - shock - sunshine! (weather summary over - normal service will now resume)

Our usual script for this time of year is that as the % of staff taking annual leave increases, the % of our available time to spend on cool things like marketing and new product releases decreases.

I'm sure we're not alone, and to be honest, it's much better to be busy than twiddling your thumbs hoping the phone will ring.

This year though, we've had a new script. We've started to get quite a few requests for file@home (the work for them is in the pipeline) - but we've noticed that quite a few have been from small businesses who're liking the simplicity (and the cost), but they need more flexibility within the product. Not a difficult question for us to answer - e-VU Professional fits the bill, well, it did. We've taken a long hard look at the direction the current version of the software has headed, and to be blunt, it's on a one way trip to nowhere. The reasons are many and varied and mostly our (Intelligent Filing hat on here, not myHomeFiling.com hat) fault. A product with no clear vision is no product at all. But change is on the way, not the slow burning sort of change either; we've created our new vision for e-VU Professional and set this in stone, no more "feature creep", no more excuses - and we have a shining beacon of an example in doing it this way in file@home. So if you're a small business in need of some document management stay tuned.

But wait, that's not all, we've had a document archiving solution available for quite some time in the form of e-VU Express. It's designed for one job (creating electronic archives of your paper documents) and it does that very well but it hasn't really had the TLC it deserves from us. So we've given it a home of its own at EasyScanningSoftware.com. This is just the start of things to come with this, so stay tuned.

Now, if we could only find the time to get the damn tutorial videos done, we'd be laughing.
