While email is great and is still the preferred channel for information sharing and communication, it’s obvious that the technology has never been able to take advantage of a high-speed network’s real-time capabilities. With that in mind, it is not unusual to see many emails lost in the void we call Outlook or simply disregarded. This is where EIM can step in and truly take advantage of your network’s real time capabilities.

Your Opinion Counts!
We need your help – our development teams need input from time to time on how features should be implemented within the Passageways Portal. To get this feedback we are creating a group of expert users for the Portal framework (which includes the Group Collaboration Module) and each of the other modules: Help Desk, eForms Builder, Expense Reporting, Products and Services, etc.
These expert groups will have access to a discussion forum and will be the first group of customers that we contact for beta testing and early feedback on the releases in their area of expertise.
If you would like to be included in this feedback group that is so critical to the continued success of the Passageways Portal, please send an email to our Product Manager, Art Remnet at aremnet@passageways.com and let him know with which expert groups you would like to participate.

Code-name: Nambé - get ready for the next version
of the Passageways Portal Framework
In order to take advantage of the new ASP.NET Themes functionality, Nambe will include full support for ASP.NET Themes and Skins and will include several built-in themes upon release. For developers wanting to better prepare for the upcoming Nambe Release, one small thing you can do is to ensure you have the following tag in all of your .aspx files This tag is needed for the Theming feature to work correctly.

We look forward to more Nambe-related announcements in the near future and are excited to be introducing the new framework in the coming months!
