Edition 2 - June 2005

Hot News
Business Manager Tim Hall managed to find the time to slip away to Alice springs and marry his long time partner Suzanne this month. All the staff at Boabsystems wishes them many happy returns and a safe honeymoon.

Personal Data Assistant
The Personal Data Assistant programs for Field Density, Bore Logging, Concrete Testing and Material Sampling will be ready for deployment in early August. This software will enable you to collect data in the field and upload the information directly into HELPA. Such a process will eliminate the need for hand-written field sheets and doubling up on manual data entry.

Expanding Network
Helpa is now spreading across the country with laboratories in South Australia, New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Western Australia joining the our ranks this month. Congratulations to Lintin Geotechnical, Golder Associates and Materials Engineering Services, Coffey Geosciences (Newcastle) and welcome aboard.

June Upgrade
The June upgrade will contain the database framework for the inclusion of Concrete Testing. This will streamline the addition of Concrete modules for inclusion in your program.

Also some greater functionality and a few handy management tools for work requests and productivity were added. The issue with adjusting CBR graphs manually has also been resolved.

From July, updates will be issued every 3 months unless they are Critical. These will be posted to the website and alerts emailed to all users.

Points of Interest
Our new programmer will be on board from July to take some of the weight off Steve allowing us to service our clients even better and surge forward with new developments and innovations.
