New Releases, Trials, Downloads and UX
Several new releases from Arten Science today.
R10BatchMail 4.3.0
ooSooMpro 2.0.1
The biggest release was
ContaxCRM 2.0 and the ContaxCRM Suite, but I’ll talk about them in a different post.The three products listed above have all been updated to make the trial procedure better for the potential customer and more profitable for Arten Science ![]()
When the 30 Day Trial period is over and the potential customer trys to run the program, two things happen. Firstly, the browser is opened pointing to our online store for the appropriate product, encouraging the potential customer to purchase.

The second thing that happens is that a screen similar to the one below is shown, thanking the potential customer for trying our product and allowing them to enter a serial number and user id when they have purchased one ![]()

Like everything else in life, make it easy and straightforward and people are more inclined to use it. An easy and smooth experience should be experienced from the first look at the website to the everyday use of the purchased product.
A major project for Arten Science going forward involves looking at every facet of our business and trying to improve the user experience. I am convinced the time invested will pay dividends.
Another improvement to these three products in the latest releases is to do with downloading the trial version and also upgrading an existing version of our software.
From today onwards the download from our site and those of our distributors will include the complete version of the product, needing only a user id and serial number to change the product from Trial to Full. When upgrading to the latest version from within the application though, only the files that need updating are downloaded for you. These files can then be dragged and dropped into the product folder, after making sure you quit the program first. These small changes will make living with our products simpler and more straightforward than previously.
All of these updates are of course free of charge.

ooSooMpro 1.1.1
R10Cipher IV 4.2.3
R10BatchMail 2.3.2

First Arten Science Updates of 2010
The four main components of the
R10Office suite have all been updated today.
ContaX CRM Each application has been updated so that when the program is run for the first time a default database is created, rather than the user having to create it manually. In addition, when downloading an update a message is shown to the user explaining the procedure that should be followed. Both of the above features are designed to make life easier for the user and to avoid any areas of potential confusion. ooSooM has received a new, much asked for, feature. The addition of ’Tick Boxes’ against each Todo Item. To mark an item as Complete you can just click the box. An Archive feature will be added in a future release, that will take each ’ticked’ item and store them separately under an Archive heading. That’s all for now folks

Sending Bulk Email
Your batch email program does the job of forwarding the email to the SMTP provider and the SMTP provider does the job of actually delivering the email to the recipient.
We all have an SMTP provider but it is likely that this provider will object should we intended to send more than a few hundred emails per day. If our database consists of several thousand customers that we need to communicate with via email then we should be looking at something like the service provided by AuthSMTP.
These guys provide a virtually unlimited email sending capability. Their prices are annual and based on a given number of emails per month. Have a look, I’m happy with them
