Rockin’ Reports – NEW
“Study” your statements with CM’s Billing Attributes Report Options
Customer Master’s Billing Attributes Report Options offer valuable insights into how your customers receive their bills and can identify opportunities to save money and grow revenue. Here is an example. Say you are looking at your BL51A report (in Bill Master) and you notice two people on eBill. The funny thing is you don’t offer eBill (though you really should…it has a lot of benefits)! You’d like to find out who those customers are on eBill so you can correct this error. Here are easy directions to identify those accounts.

Technical Information
Don’t let end of support spook you
Microsoft is no longer releasing security updates for SQL Server 2008, and on January 14, 2020, support for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will end as well. That means the end of regular security updates. Don’t let your infrastructure and applications go unprotected! We can help you migrate to current versions for greater security, performance, and innovation.
