Someone told me a GDPR joke yesterday and it's worth repeating...
"Knock knock" "Who's there?" "GDPR" "GDPR who?" "Sorry, I don't have your consent to tell you..."
(for our Australian and New Zealand Alpha Tracker customers reading this post... be thankful that you don't have to worry about this new layer of data protection regulation!)
Anyway, I bet you're as fed up with GDPR as we are... but at least the latest version of asbestos software Alpha Tracker, Release 28, will help you with your GDPR admin.
In addition to the GDPR-specific features (which Kim is documenting in full and which will form part of the release notes and updated manual), there are 200+ new features, performance improvements and bug fixes.
One of the most important new features is a new link to the popular CRM system from Really Simple Systems - something which is worth looking into if you want to use a CRM system alongside Alpha Tracker.
Here is a quick video to introduce Release 28 to you:
If you want help to install Alpha Tracker Release 28, just get in touch with the support team as usual, or feel free to download and install the update yourself.

Judy & I had an excellent software meeting this morning at the world-famous Penfolds Magill Estate in Adelaide. We were discussing their mobile data collection system and how we could support and improve it.
What an interesting and impressive site & business Penfolds is. Hopefully we'll be seeing much more of them and their business in the future.
