July 22, 2009 (Eagle, ID) Ei Dynamics announced today the release of version 4.0 of Ei Dynamics software a mid-market business intelligence solution offering a comprehensive suite of tools for monitoring and analyzing data, sending business alerts, managing business processes and developing workflows. The latest release incorporates many new features and enhancements making Ei Dynamics easier to use, provides greater stability and increased performance.
According to Robert Virga, Chief Technology Officer, “We think the latest 4.0 release really hits the mark and distinctly separates us from our competition. We’ve spent a lot of time and effort adding important new features and functions to our toolset that not only address the unique challenges that small and medium businesses face today but also positions our product to embrace newer emerging technologies that are becoming more main stream such as accessing data over web services and monitoring data hosted within a Software as a Service (Saas) environment.”
Advanced Web Integration
The latest release adds new advanced tools for deeper web integration, providing greater ability for companies to reach out to external data over the web. As cloud computing and Saas applications become more and more prevalent it is essential to provide tools to enable companies to access and analyze their data no matter where it exists. With the latest release companies can now reach out to secured web content located behind most secured websites. Companies can now do things like…
· Access financial or other sensitive information located behind secured webpage’s and automatically route or distribute the information.
· Automatically generate and route web reports from Saas applications without having to manually login and generate the reports.
· Automatically update and post data to web forms. For instance, companies could automatically synchronize data between internal databases and CRM data located in a web CRM system such as SalesForce.com
· Automatically download and transfer files located on a secured website and transfer them between two or more websites or servers and even route them for approval.
Social Networking – “Twitter”
Dell raised eyebrows in June when the Texas computer maker said it tallied $3 million in sales of its desktops, laptops and monitors from Twitter since starting its @DellOutlet account in June 2007. Twitter also made international headlines when it was reported that it was used as the primary form of communication in Iran during the recent elections and protests. Hundreds of national headline stories like these simply illustrate that Twitter is no longer just a trendy tool used by teenagers and technologists but has arrived as a widely accepted new form of broadcasting and communication. Some experts have even predicted that Twitter will eventually do to text messaging what SMS did to pagers. As such Ei Dynamics now fully supports the ability to send Twitter messages directly from Ei Dynamics. Here are a few examples of how Ei Dynamics predicts companies will use this new feature…
· To facilitate Twitter marketing campaigns. Twitter offerings such as coupons and promo codes can be preloaded or tied to internal company data and scheduled for broadcast at specified times.
· As an alternate to SMS text messages to notify employees and personnel of important information such as inventory arriving at a warehouse or notifying drivers of a new pickup or delivery.
· Automatically broadcast to consumers’ the arrival of highly sought after gods to particular stores based on information from a company’s ERP system. For instance, during the holidays Walmart could monitor the shipment of hot items and broadcast which stores will be receiving shipments within the next day based on data in their warehouse tracking system.

- Secure PDF Documents - Ei Dynamics can now create password protected and encrypted PDF documents providing the ability for companies to generate and send sensitive financial and proprietary data securely over the internet or email.
