Stardraw Appoints Dove Net Technologies as US Reseller
 Software providers Stardraw.com are pleased to announce the appointment of Dove Net
Technologies as resellers of the entire Stardraw product range throughout the United
States and Canada with immediate effect.
According to Stardraw marketing director Rob Robinson the appointment is a logical
extension of Stardraw's activities in North America. "Dove Net's product portfolio
complements our own in every possible way," he commented. "Furthermore, they are already
familiar with our client base as their own software, The Project System, is designed for
exactly the same user profile. Dove Net Technologies are highly experienced in all aspects
of complex software sales, technical support and development. I can't think of any company
that's better qualified for the job."
Dove Net's own application, The Project System, offers systems integrators a fully
featured administration program to create, handle and track quotes, bookings, commissions,
margins, invoicing and job costs with the ability to link everything to an accounting system.
Stardraw, on the other hand, deals with the front end; that is to say all of the drawing
tools required to produce accurate and detailed engineering schematics, rack layouts, custom
panel designs, sales presentations etc. quickly and easily. "The synergy between the two
product ranges is clear," continued Robinson. "The Project System is like the other side of
the Stardraw coin. There is already integration between the two products and more is planned
for the future, so it makes perfect sense in every respect to have the same company selling both products."
Dove Net Technologies proprietor, Tony Nasca, is equally pleased with the appointment. "I've
long been a fan of Stardraw products, and this is why we've achieved a certain level of integration
already. In working together as a team we are able to maximise our existing synergy to offer systems
integrators the ultimate business solution. It's an extremely powerful combination and I'm excited
to see where it takes us."

Feature Updates - A Notice
Since the introduction of our feature update program in May 2001, new functionality
has been added to all subscription-based applications every single month. Many of these features, like Excel Reporting,
Online Libraries, External Datasource and Synchronize Manufacturers, have been significant enough to warrant
version number upgrades but Stardraw.com's policy is to deliver world-class software
with ever-improving functionality as part of a fixed annual subscription.
There is no change to this policy, nor are there any plans to change the pricing
of annual subscriptions to any Stardraw.com product.
In the light of overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to major, strategic
upgrades we will be focussing on delivering 'big ticket' features for the remainder
of 2004 and early 2005. This will see the consolidation of new feature releases
which are, as always, prioritized by what you the user asks for. Look out for powerful
new tools in the second half of this year.
We are always happy to receive feature suggestions from all our users. If you've
ever thought "wouldn't it be great if...", please let us know.
All suggestions make it onto our wish-list, and if you don't ask, we can't deliver.
Please help us to help you by making Stardraw applications even better than they are today -
just email your feature requests to ideas@stardraw.com.
Online Help Available for Stardraw A/V Lite
An all-new online help system is now accessible through the latest version of Stardraw A/V Lite.
All Stardraw A/V Lite users should
perform a LiveUpdate now to upgrade their application and
make use of this new resource.
The online help system benefits from ongoing development and new topics and resources will
be introduced on a regular basis. Equivalent online help systems will soon be released for all
other Stardraw applications.
