Bright Stores Newsletter November 2008

The leaves are changing and the holidays are upon us!  All of us here at Bright Stores would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for your continued business and referrals.  Over the years, we’ve developed a personal relationship with many of you, which makes our jobs that more rewarding.  We look forward to continuing to get to know you and your businesses and to helping you grow!

We wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday!

RECENT PERFORMANCE UPGRADES:

We have begun implementing a 3-stage plan for system performance improvements, which include:

• Software Tuning
• (New) Hardware Upgrades
• Datacenter Upgrade
  

Our Software Tuning has already been completed.  Bright Stores has invested over 300 man hours and over $45,000 into new software performance enhancements.  Our web services code and database have been completely overhauled and tuned up to run faster and more efficiently than ever before.  You and your clients should be experiencing faster and more consistent page load times.  These efforts reflect Bright Store’s overall strategy of continued improvement and reinvestment into our system.  Look for details on our hardware and datacenter upgrades in next month’s newsletter.  Expectations will be improved uptime performance.  Work here is already underway!

COMING SOON:

• December 2008, we will be launching a beta version of our new Supply Chain Management System to existing clients.  This system will effectively automate the creation and delivery of purchase orders to your suppliers, thus helping to streamline the ordering process even more.  We will offer a Live Production of SCM to all new clients on January 1, 2009.
  
• December 2008, we will be launching a beta version of Bright Store’s new On Demand Video Training!  Along with our entire suite of customer support options, these videos will provide yet another training resource to address your system questions.  All at the click of a button.
