TOPS v3.2.1™ Distribution
Fall is typically the busiest season for the association
management industry; preparing for annual and budget meetings, billing
assessments for next year, year-end close, and getting set for next
year - so much to do and so little time to do it.
To help relieve your burdens, TOPS Software has
begun the release of the newest version of our flagship product,
TOPS v3.2.1™. The goal of this version is to incorporate as
many time-saving features as possible to make your life easier.
Whether it's budgetary planning, creating coupons for the following
year, or distributing reports, this version will save you valuable
time.
Not only does 3.2.1 offer many time and money saving
features, it also could allow you to recover some of that valuable
office space currently taken up by filing cabinets. The TOPS v3.2.1™
Document Manager is an electronic filing system that enables you
to take letters and documents created in TOPS v3.2.1™ and
automatically store them to the homeowners records. You can make
the lookup or retrieval process that much faster by centralizing
your data, importing your external files and attaching them to the
individual homeowner records. How's that for conservation and working
towards a paperless environment?
All TOPS Software clients currently subscribing
to a maintenance support agreement will be mailed the 3.2.1 update
on CD. Why use a CD to distribute this new version instead of the
TOPS Internet Updater?
A number of the new 3.2.1 programs and features,
such as TOPS Calendar, Phone Messaging, and the new Job Streaming,
were written using a new cutting-edge programming language. This
language requires a direct installation of the framework on each
computer that will be utilizing it. While it would be technically
possible to distribute the new version via our TOPS Internet Updater,
doing so would require our clients to download and install the supporting
programs on each machine that would use the new TOPS. So, we have
made the decision to send one last yearly update via CD. All future
updates will continue to be distributed via the TOPS Internet Updater.
The new CD's are being released in managed increments
to allow for a smooth transition for all of our clients. A number
of clients have already received version 3.2.1. If your company
has not yet received the new version, continue to look for it in
your mailbox. The release should be fully distributed within the
next 2 months.
If you do not have a maintenance support agreement,
you will need to purchase the new update directly. Please contact
our sales department at 1-800-899-5689 or sales@topssoft.com
for pricing and information.
This is the most feature rich version in company history. Many of
the features added are a direct result of you sharing your needs
and wishes with us. Saving you time, effort and money continues
to be the focus of our software development.

New in 3.2.1 to get the full listing of new features.
