Our latest Tracker Web Server changes are now in beta.
There are a number of improvements to the standard screen layout, making it better suited to tablet and smartphone devices. We also have added new settings (client-specific) allowing you to vary the look and feel of the software for each of your clients.
We're now collecting requests for new features for the next release - please get in touch with your ideas!

Mobile Data Studio consultancy
Today was fun - just finished a workshop for a famous multi-national looking to deploy Mobile Data Studio. They needed help to explore the possibilities and limitations of the product before they commit.
Really nice people, good project plan, should be a big success for them.

Android "Tracker Mobile" photo sizes and resolution
We are getting one or two reports that the newer "Android" phones and tablets are saving photos at very large file sizes, and this is causing two issues:
1 the sessions can appear to be "stuck" on the phones once the photo has been saved with the rest of the surveying data
2 sending the data in at the end of the survey or end of the day is taking much longer than normal.
We recommend that the cameras are set at the desired resolution (we suggest "low" or "medium", no more than 3 mega pixel) before the surveyors take their photos - and that surveyors are reminded that this is important.
Any questions, please do call in on the support line 0845 612 2402.

Busy week!
Andy's presentation at the Microsoft Access User Group on Wednesday was made more tricky when his Microsoft co-presenter failed to show, but it takes more than that to put Andy off and he carried on regardless with his presentation on linking Access applications to SQL Server data "in the cloud".
I did my "Deploying Access Systems" presentation just after lunch and just about managed to keep the audience awake! If you're interested, you can download the presentations yourself at: http://www.ukaugcommunity.co.uk/Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=19&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eukaugcommunity%2Eco%2Euk%2Fdefault%2Easpx
This week has also seen 3 presentations delivered to potential new Tracker clients (all are asbestos surveying businesses), some Tracker training, a couple of client account management meetings and this all happened while our team fell to pieces with most contracting shingles! Who said that running a small business was easy...

Presenting at the Microsoft Access User Group tomorrow
Andy and I are both presenting at the Microsoft Access User Group tomorrow in Reading.
Andy is talking about SQL Server "in the cloud" and how Access can connect to it. I'm doing an hour later in the day on deploying Access apps and how best to support them.
I'm also delivering some training for Tracker Web Server in the morning and then showing Tracker to a potential new client on Thursday. Busy couple of days!
