Over the past two months, we have done the following:

  • Signed up 100+ companies for test drive

  • Demoed Stratus at a number of events, in Europe, United States and New Zealand

Stratus - an actual screenshot of the Role CenterI’ve been asked too many times why I am not blogging more about Stratus, the web client for NAV developed by my company. People really want to know about it, and I am really keeping it far too silent.

Let’s change that. Instead of sending a ridiculous amount of e-mails every day, I’ll just keep you all posted through this blog.
