We’re big fans of automation. As we’ve said before, it allows your staff to concentrate on important stuff, rather than mundane tasks. And it allows your organisation to add new business without adding overhead.

Our annual User Conference this year took place on the 19th October at the City Tower, Piccadilly Plaza, Manchester.

It was less than a year ago that we announced our plans to change. Back then we called it  Unleashing the Power, but the intention was to liberate both our systems and our staff with completely new thinking.

Big talk of course, and talk is cheap. These days every company pays lip service to innovation. Did we actually make a difference?

Towards the end of last year, Trace committed to a completely new culture in our software development (see here).  A commitment to unleash the huge power of our software by making it easier to use, and to approach every issue from the starting point that less is more.

These days, if you speak to people who use IT systems, you’ll notice how much they talk about the use of data for analysis.

Which of course makes sense: more and more information is being collected all the time, so it should be used. Facts, figures and calculations based on this data can be very important. 

But data isn’t intelligence.

No doubt you’ll have heard the term disruptive innovation? A lot of MBAs are using it right now. According to Wikipedia it’s an innovation that disrupts an existing market, or that changes a product or service in a way that the market didn’t expect. But that’s far too dry a definition to describe something so unexpected, so radical, so... astonishing... that it quite simply knocks the competition’s feet out from under them.

We are delighted to announce that WSS Associates currently has some TRAMPS-related job vacancies.

Property Systems Trainer - TRAMPS

My Client is looking for an experienced TRAMPS user to train property managers/accounts staff on the system.
 
The successful candidate will work with current processes as well as taking a proactive role in re-engineering those processes which need updating.

Cloud Computing is all the rage. It’s being mentioned and promoted all the time.

And yet it’s often difficult to understand exactly what it is; or, more importantly, what the benefits are. Is it all hype? Or is it really about to change everything?

As our software is so dominant in the UK market, there are several recruitment companies that specialise in TRAMPS-trained staff.

One such agency is WSS Associates, who operate in the real estate and financial services sectors. WSS is always keen to speak to experienced property professionals within the accounting and software fields.

They currently have a number of opportunities including:

More and more, we’re getting used to software and devices that we can just switch on and use. We’re familiar with well designed web sites that we use to find information or shop. If we don’t like the web site we’ve found, we simply move to another. We expect devices such as smartphones and the iPad to work, out of the box, without reference to any manual.
