August.Net is to be acquired! One of the August Companies, August.Net, has announced that it will be acquired.  Read the Dallas Business Journal announcement. August created August.Net as a high tech, business oriented Internet Service Company (WEB hosting, Internet access, WEB application and services development, etc.).  Dennis Simpson, of August Computing, is a co-founder of August.Net.  It has been rated several times by DSL Reports as the best ISP in the entire U.S. What sets it apart is that is utilizes a high degree of automation utilizing software techniques as found in the RoAccess family of products. This tremendous influx of cash will allow us to expand our offerings and help fill the many gaps and deficiencies, as we and others perceive them, in the Rochade product line. 

What makes August.Net the best ISP in the U.S. is the same thing that makes the the RoAccess family of applications the best way to utilize your Rochade Repository to the maximum: Something solid that you can depend upon.  Not tried RoAccess? You should!
August Gives Talk at
Unix Users Group		 Once again, Dennis Simpson of August Computing gave the program for the Dallas Unix Users Group.  The talk was on Voice over IP, and databases necessary to support it.

These new releases are fully documented and are available for download.

Make Displays More Meaningful

 Did you know the Power Designer scanner only populates about one half of the ItemTypes in the RIM?  This means when listing ItemTypes, over half do not really need to be displayed.  They are just wasting space and your time.  Now you can show only the ItemTypes that actually have data! Click here.

Bogus Hidden Items Breaking your Repository? If your users report that parts of your Repository are broken (path reports not working, data missing and bogus inactive Items), the Rochade Server may have created bogus hidden Items.

Revenue Up by 96%!		 While most companies saw decreases in revenue, August experienced a 96% increase in revenue.  We feel this is because of the high quality of our products and services that are second to none.

This increase allowed us to produce the extremely large number of enhancements that were released last year, plus two new products.

We are dedicated to making your Rochade Repository a success, and it shows.
Unmatched Compatibility We have multiple customers who have upgraded to Rochade 6.1, and are running multiple versions of RoAccess.  One European customer has 3 RoAccess installations that are current, 1 year old and 2 years old, all talking equally well to Rochade 6.1.  All of our customers can use any version of RoAccess and utilize 6.1, no matter how old their version, without having to upgrade their installation.  That is compatibility!  How many other vendors can have software 2 years old and still talk to the latest Rochade servers without requiring an upgrade? Click here.

Click here.  After all, RoAccess has been available three times longer that ASG's, so accordingly has many more features and options.   Also ASG's has been a relatively static program, whereas RoAccess has always been incorporating new features at an extremely fast pace all this time.  There really is no comparison.

When was the last time you got something related to Rochade free?

If you have hundreds of Subject Areas that are constantly being created by automated scanners and merging processes and named by a date or other naming rule, how can your users remember which are the "current" ones.  They probably can't because the current Subject Area names are constantly changing.  Like to have a simple Subject Area whose name stays the same  but when opened is always the most current?  Now you can do it in seconds.  Click here. This is one of the RoAccess Virtual Hierarchical Subject Area built in features where you can gateway to a simple Subject Area or one anywhere in a Hierarchical Subject Area!  And you don't have to use Autopilot.
Have you ever tried to delete a Subject Area that is in the middle of a Hierarchical Subject Area or change the structure order of a hierarchy or move a branch to a different spot?  Rochade  administration tools won't let you do any of these.  This can be a severe limitation, especially when you are creating, using then deleting Subject Areas that need to be versioned.  RoAccess on the other hand has created a simpler, more flexible concept: Virtual Application Hierarchies.  Click here.
Too many Applications? 
 It's conceivable that you could have hundreds of Subject Areas, Projects and Hierarchical Subject Areas.  How can you keep track of them?  Click here.
"But, this is why we have RoAccess. We need a bit of magic". Click here for why.
August is distinguished by the "Technology VIP" magazine.  Click here. Also August.Net has been voted the "Best ISP in the entire United States" many times by www.dslreports.com.   This is due to the quality of embedded software, such as RoAccess,  written by August and our dedication to our customer's satisfaction.  Our automation software (as presented to the Dallas Unix Users Group) allows a very large ISP to be managed by an incredibly small group of people.  The same approach allows RoAccess to greatly reduce the time and cost of managing and publishing your Rochade Repository.
RoAccess is compatible with Rochade Version 6 Repository.
Look at this innovative Business User Repository Portal. Click here.   Let RoAccess be your Portal to your enterprise Repository.
Add Flash to your Repository
We've found if you add a Flash 5.0 introduction to your Repository, your users will have a much better first impression.  You only have one chance to make a first impression. It also tends to help impress management, which results in their support and continued funding.  This is critical to the success of your mission.   Let us provide you a customized version of our Flash introduction.  Normally a professional Flash presentation costs between $10,000 and $20,000 per running minute to develop.  Now you can get one for only $3,000.  Click here to see one actual example of a custom Flash introduction made for TXU (one of top ten energy companies in the world).  When a business user enters the TXU Rochade Repository via RoAccess, the Flash presentation appears.  We can customize it for you so it looks like you made it for your organization!
Convert!
We can help you convert your ASG WEB Access screens to RoAccess.  If you're tired of spending a lot of time and money on ASG's WEB Access screens, switch to the "fast lane" with RoAccess.  Time is money!  Your money!  Keep it.
Hierarchical Subject Area Features
 Your ability to analyze and display Rochade Item Versions has been greatly enhanced.  Click here for more.
Facilitate Group Metadata

User Friendly Attribute Names Many times attribute names are cryptic because they are 32 characters, are upper case only and can't contain spaces or punctuation, and a non-technical user might not understand what it's name means.   Now you can have RoAccess display User Friendly Attribute Names that are intuitive. You can also specify who sees the user friendly names, and who sees the real, internal attribute names.  It's all configurable. Click here for more.

Customer First Impressions of RoAccess. The US Department of Defense is utilizing RoAccess. Click here to see what their experiences have been.
Multiple User Friendly Interfaces
 RoAccess was just purchased by the US Department of Defense, largest payroll metadata system in the world, and TXU, one of the 10 largest energy companies in the world.   Both have contracted with August to provide several different user interfaces, each tailored to the background and interests of their diverse user bases.  Some technical, some management, some for presentations, some  business area experts, some just everyday employees doing document management.   RoAccess excels in being tailorable to  just what each different user base is most comfortable and efficient with, many times requiring no programming at all.  Need user friendly interfaces?   We'll help you be successful.
User Friendly ItemType Names
 Non-technical users do not like to see cryptic ItemType names. Which would your user base prefer? ORA/TABLE or "Oracle Tables".    AP-ITEMTYPE or "RIM ItemType Declarations"?  You can not only specify user friendly ItemType names but also specify which users see them and which see the "old internal" ItemType names. Every place where an ItemType name is displayed will show the user friendly version! Click here.
Are you finding Hierarchical Subject Areas (HSA) and "packages" too complicated?  You're not alone.  The documentation is intimidating, the security model is overly involved, and there is no really good set of manuals to really show you HOW to create, administer and use them.  If you're like most people, you skip that chapter and go to the next.   Until now!  RoAccess can make it easy and understandable using a more intuitive HSA model.  Click here.
How many programs can you run with your eyes closed?  Large companies and government agencies must be concerned with users who are handicapped.  There is a good chance your potential users may be blind, color blind or otherwise visually impaired.  RoAccess is compatible with Assistive Technologies for the visually impaired.  You may find that RoAccess can create a user base of thousands when you do Document Management and Rochade becomes the HUB repository for your company.  But what about the visually impaired users?  Your mission is probably for ALL the employees and users.
We recently received a testimonial and letter of appreciation from Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, a German bank.   It shows how companies the world over benefit from RoAccess and our Rochade knowledge to help them be successful in their Repository efforts. Click here.

    Product Highlights
      WEB Dynamic Access (Display andFull Entry and Path Reports)
        RoAccess accesses your Rochade Subject Areas much like Autopilot. The main difference is that it is extremely user friendly, intuitive and can be used over the Internet/Intranet. This means anyone with a WEB browser can access their Rochade data. Everyone has Netscape or MS Internet Explorer today, so everyone is already equipped to access your Rochade Repositories. And since multiple users can share the same Rochade license, your per-user costs are drastically reduced.  Continuing maintenance costs are reduced, because you never have to upgrade Autopilot on each and every PC/workstation each time it changes because Autopilot is no longer needed for these users. 
    Click here to understand how RoAccess reduces per-user costs dramatically.
    Real-Time Data and Link Entry and Editing
        RoAccess accesses your RochadeTM Repository in real-time and allows data and link entry/editing.  Its features and enhancements are a real convenience for both general and power users.   Path Reports created by Autopilot, can be run directly from RoAccess.

    Develop applications WITHOUT PROGRAMMING at all!
        Standard languages, like 'C', Visual Basic and Power Builder while useful, for most applications, are typically not needed.  User access, security, Item Types, attributes and data formatting are all automatic because they are read from the repository metadata. The screens build themselves from all attributes of the Item Type to just the ones you have access to. Access  Security rules are taken from the Subject Area, Item Type profiles, user classes and user class profiles.  That is why no programming is necessary: Rochade defines the applications and RoAccess merely designs the data access forms to comply. 
    Click here to see how RoAccess develops applications with no programming at all.
    READY TO USE IMMEDIATELY!
        RoAccess is intelligent, automatically determining your subject areas and item types from your RIMs and other metadata.  It supports Versioning, Blobs and Document/Image Storage, and comes with its user Application Development Kit.  It is ready to use, out of the box, requiring no programming.
