It is not often I blog about 1E, I think it has only happened once before actually. Even before I got an offer from them they told me they didn't want me to blog about them or their products because they didn't want my blog to turn into PR for 1E. And over the last year I have not talked about the products at all. But as you may have noticed the number of posts I put up have also dropped dramatically.

I can’t say enough about this product, if you have not seen the demos on this visit the site and look at them here . If you have plans to package and send out and software this year with SMS I would encourage you to look at this as an alternative to the traditional ways of packaging and deploying with SMS. The cost is ~$10 for SA members, yes that’s ten dollars. Regards, Anthony Anthony Clendenen | Technical Consultant |Microsoft Practices | 909-379-8934 | Dimension Data “ Dimension...
