Was delivered by Graham Cardwell - the Head of Product Marketing in the Enterprise Solutions Division of Sage. Online readers will be able to view Graham's presentation online in the ISTUG Members Club.

Those present were given an update on the current delivery status of version 5.0. Online readers can read the Sage brochure that details enhancements contained within version 5.0.

Graham continued by detailing the main areas that will be looked at over the next 18 months, and the order in which the various items will be tacked along with approximate time scales. Online readers will be able to go through Graham's significant presentation in detail and determine what is anticipated and the effect it may have on their business. One major statement is the clear intent to stop any further development on C-ISAM, it should be noted that v5.0 will not be released on C-ISAM. The extent of support and likely termination dates of support on C-ISAM systems is yet to be published. A key benefit will be a product that runs faster and has even better facilities.

ENHANCEMENTS - What your votes are delivering.

The 10 MBE's selected from the voting process of the ISTUG Special Interest Groups have now been issued and this information has been posted on the ISTUG Members Club web site. In addition the information has been added to the overall listing of MBE's on the ISTUG Members Club web site.

The overall listing has been updated based upon the progress report given by Graham Cardwell in his Development Report. It has been agreed that both Sage and ISTUG will be looking more closely at the overall report listing to ensure its absolute accuracy in order that end users have visibility of the MBE picture and can request them via their resellers.
