Cougar Mountain Road Show a Hit - Register NOW for Denver!

The Cougar Mountain Training Road Show just completed its most recent pit stop in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the four-day course dozens of Cougar Mountain users fine-tuned their software knowledge with the help of our talented instructors and had plenty of time to explore one of the greatest destinations in the U.S.

Here’s what Len George of Vena Bullen & Sons Ltd. had to say about his Road Show experience in Las Vegas:

“Training was just what I wanted it to be. I expected an uptight, strict session, but instead it was relaxing, fun, and knowledgeable. You got no choice but to learn. . . Thank you for the seminar and making it easy to learn and love the software!”

The Denver training session will take place June 18 - 21, 2007, at the Ramada Inn downtown. Hotel room reservations must be made directly with the hotel. For information on the cost or agenda visit www.cougarmtn.com/promo/, or call your Account Executive at (800) 388-3038.

Get Ready for Version 12!

The next release of Cougar Mountain Software is just around the corner. This upcoming release includes some new features you certainly don’t want to miss—many of which are based on answers we received from our customer survey conducted a few months after the release of Version 11.

A few highlights include expanded report search functionality, expanded custom reports features, new Business Snapshot reports, a new Unapplied Transaction type for the AP module, and a new Landscape Audit Trail report with a running balance.

If you’re not on our Software Assurance Plan (enrollment guarantees you’ll receive V.12), or if you want to know more about updating your software, call your Account Executive at (800) 388-3038.
