  KE Software have proven excellent to deal with.  We have found them reliable and straight forward in their approach to our requirements.  Since going "live" in September 2003, we have been very impressed by the reliability of the software.  We have experienced very few disruptions with EMu itself and it is a favourite with our IT staff.

The soon-to-be released EMu 3.2.05 will include:

  1. Range Indexing:
    Tools have been introduced to allow Administrators to tune EMu's range indexing. Support for automatic optimisation of range indexes has also been added. Using these tools EMu can now provide optimal range indexes with significantly faster range based searches.
  2. Drag/Drop multimedia resources onto a Multimedia tab to create Multimedia records automatically:
    It is now possible to drag multimedia resources (images, videos, audio, documents) from the Windows Desktop (etc.) onto any Multimedia tab in any module, automatically creating a Multimedia repository record.
  3. Record Recall:
    A complete history of changes to a record is maintained by EMu. It is now possible to update a record with data from an earlier version of the record. Note that this does not Undo changes (the complete history is always maintained), but it does allow you to amend a record with data from an earlier version of the record.

Full details will be available from the KE Software website soon (and included in the latest version of the EMu Help, which can also be downloaded from the KE Software website).
