Greater Leaps In Productivity Coming

I just had a great conversation with Todd, who's the product manager for Horizon about some of the new upcoming changes in Form Validation. In the past, when a customer has asked for a rule to do something (like add a new pay entry or update some fields), we've had to write a brand new service or program to do it. In the new release, we'll be able to write the script directly into Form Validation.
 
What does this mean for you, the customer? Faster turnaround for writing rules in a lot of cases. But it's part of the same strategy that exists with Horizon Alerts.
 
Check out our preview of this new feature: http://www.mtihorizon.com/show/alerts
 
With Alerts, which are user-specific, you will get prompted for different events that happen in your daily operations. So if you have late shipments, you're told about them even if you're doing something else (don't worry - it's not intrusive - just a little note that appears). But what's really cool about it is that if you double-click the message, it can actually do something.
 
So let's say for example, you have an alert to tell your Dispatchers when they have exceptions in Circle of Service. The dispatcher  gets the message, double-clicks on it and up pops Circle of Service so he can correct the exceptions.
 
I'm super-psyched about this type of productivity gain and I can't wait to show it to you - in the meantime, check out the presentation and write me at amacneill@mtihorizon.com with your thoughts on it.
