New Thread for 3D Users

[Donna @ 3D]

I had to check around, since we have not been officially contacted about any new NC form. However, someone at our main office heard that NC is working on a standardized format, but understands that it is still in committee. So they first need to settle on the design it seems.

Of course, anyone can certainly replicate any kind of form themselves right in the 3D software as needed- our engine lets you create and customized unlimited forms, and exactly replicate official goverment paper forms too as needed. But for a popular official form we probably would be willing to create ourselves and simply make it freely available to 3D users. So we certainly invite them to contact us about it once things have been officially decided.

3D is pleased to welcome the new "Advantage Pro Inspection Software Suite" specialty package ( http://www.3dinspection.com/focus/index.html ) created by J. Keith Gipe, instructor of various ITEC (Inspection Training & Education Consultants) classes.

3D is happy to announce that there will be free training available at the upcoming ASHI in Anaheim, CA on January 11, 2007. This training will be held Thursday night in the Pacific conference room from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM. Some refreshments will be available.
This class is great for the 3D user who knows that 3D can do more for them, but isn’t sure just how much more.

Also, don't forget that 3D's report web delivery service is free- we've never had any membership "levels" or monthly or yearly fees required to use our delivery feature. Clients get the link automatically emailed from YOU, and customers see no other branding to get their reports other than what you include in your email. Take advantage of the extra stuff like this that is included with 3D but others charge extra for.

Is there a NACHI discount for the FOCUS editions? I really like the look of the "Advantage Pro Inspection Software Suite"

[Donna @ 3D]

Resellers set their own pricing for their specialty Focus editions. You may notice this allows them to give you substantial savings over products produced and sold directly by us. For instance, the Advantage Pro suite represents more than 30% off the purchase price of our regular 3D Inspection System software. Quite a fantastic discount for a complete software solution!

3D Inspection System Version 10 has been released! Check out our website for more information or download a free Trial copy.

Hello Donna, Which is the most popular PDA/Pocket Pc being used with your 3d Inspection system? Brand & Model
Thanks Mike

[Donna @ 3D]

Dell Axim and HP iPAQ models have always been most popular. However, Dell just announced they are no longer going to be manufacturing new Axim units (seems they are getting out of the Pocket PC manufacturing altogether), but will of course continue to support models already manufactured for at least 3 years.

So if you can find a Dell still available, they typically beat others on price, but if not, iPAQ is the next popular brand.

Of course any Windows Mobile Pocket PC should run Pocket3D, and inspectors do use other models besides those two leading favorites.

Thanks Donna

Donna, I would think a good marketing tool for you guys would be is to develop canned reports for the states that have HI licening and reporting laws in place. You guys have some states already but having them all would give you a nice leg up

[Claude Lawrenson]

Donna thanks again for a showing us the way in the Toronto Training Session last week-end. I know I certainly got a lot out of it. You walked us through how to make life much easier on how to do a quick start, or customize our reports. We may even consider that cruise -training venue - next!
Cheers, Claude

Hi Joe,
Check out our Focus products, which focus on different areas of the country. Most are specialized for specific requirements and conditions in an area or inspection type. Most resellers also offer the content separately to add to an existing system. I'm not aware of any state requirements that are not covered by either one of these additional specialty products or the forms that now come in our regular edition. We updated all our forms and content in our regular package when we released version 10. And there are free download add-on forms available on our website, linked to our general support information page. If you have some particular concern or need for a state, I'd suggest checking with our main office as there may be something already available you just don't know about.

[Donna @ 3D]

P.S. Version 10 content was also updated to include association standards, etc, including NACHI's, and the inspection contract recommended by Bob Pearson/Allen Insurance Group. Which makes it a snap for NACHI members to complete reports that meet and include the standards of practice.
