Feedback? Questions?

One of the references I added to this blog (see the panel to the right) is the e-mail address for product feedback and questions. The forums are a good place for technical questions, but you might have something else you might want to ask. For example:

• I really love/hate [your pet feature here]!
• Are you planning on adding [your favorite feature here]?
• How would I use your products for [your use case here]?
• Do you have a recommendation for [your partner-provided technology here]?

The first two questions in particular are good material for our mailing list, feedback@xythos.com. I get anything sent to it, as do a few other Xythinians who plan, build, or support our technology. Don't be shy--we definitely want to hear from you.

You can never say it often enough...

If you ever want to find the most recent versions of Xythos' products, check out the Support page.

User group meetings

We just finished the Xythos user group meetings in San Francisco, Milwaukee, Boston, and Washington, DC. We heard from our customers what they're doing, and plan to do, with our products. We also shared our ideas for upcoming releases and received valuable feedback on future directions.

Speaking of feedback, we have a new e-mail ID, feedback@xythos.com, for sending us your comments about our products. By all means, send us your ideas about where we might go with our technology.

Thanks to everyone who attended the user group meetings. We hope it was a useful session for all of you.

Starting again

I haven't written an entry in this blog in a long, long time. So long, in fact, I'm just going to start from scratch. When we launched the developer.xythos.com web site, we wanted the blogs to be a way for our customers and partners to see what people at Xythos were doing. In addition, our occasional bloviations about the marketplace explain how we view our corporate mission, and better put our current efforts into better context.

Since our last postings in these blogs, we've shipped new versions of the server products (Enterprise Document Manager, Digital Locker, and WebFile Server) and the Xythos Drive. We've launched a software-as-a-service offering, Xythos On Demand. We've created new options for people who want to turn paper into electronic content, and then store and manage it in a system like ours.

And that's just what we've been doing on the product front. We have more success stories, professional services offerings, ways to engage technical support--the list goes on and on. Therefore, rather than try to create a thread of continuity that stretches months into the past, I'm starting this blog over.
