Revision 9

It is important to have a system that is constantly improving it's product. Software assurance allows you to keep up to date with the latest your system has to offer. I am going to talk only on the few enhancements that my clients may be interested in but if you wish to know more or would like to discuss Rev9 just let me know. 
SV8100 Upgrades R9


Web Pro Enhancement – Save / Restore
Finally you can use webpro to backup your system. The only reason I brought out PC Pro before was to backup. Clients did not see the benefit of buying PC pro just for that reason. It may mean that we lose a little revenue as a company or manufacturer but the benefit of allowing a administrator to backup their own system is priceless. There has also been some talk of the webpro now supporting Google Chrome but as far as I can tell this only applies to Unified communications and not webpro.

Virtual Machine support
NEC is expanding its shared services to support more VMware. More and more companies are using virtual machines, especially for secondary services such as the shared services from NEC. Who wants to buy a machine just to let you know if someone is on the line or not. I know shared services does more than that but that is the primary use our clients.
