Tampa, FL...November 17, 2005 - Mangrove Software clients came together for Mangrove´s Annual User Conference in late October, for comprehensive software training classes, best practice seminars, and to preview the much-anticipated Version 5 release of its payroll and employee management software.
Mangrove´s Version 5, which is scheduled for release in June of 2006, has undergone the largest development effort since the initial product launch in 1998 of Mangrove HR2O(TM), the company´s flagship product. New features, enhancements and benefits to Mangrove users will include the following:
Complete migration of data to native .NET and Microsoft ® Server 2003(TM) technology
Several hundred product enhancements including an enriched training administration module, improved workflows routing capabilities, enhanced historical record tracking, and superior reporting capabilities through a consolidated, easier-to-use report library
Convergence of Mangrove Software client server and web versions
Substantial focus on usability, simplification, speed, and reliability
This year´s user conference in Orlando, Florida, was driven by user feedback from the past year. Mangrove users participated in product education classes, in-depth industry discussions and networking events. Some of the topics addressed during the conference included online benefit enrollment, advanced setup capabilities, reporting workshops, and product enhancements.
Mangrove users also enjoyed presentations from top-notch industry experts. Arnold Ramirez of Xccelerating Revenues presented specific techniques to effectively increase marketing channels and improve sales revenues, for Mangrove´s service bureau clients and reseller partners. David Neikrug of Capital H Group presented an overview of trends and compliance in the Human Resources industry, which included the benefits of online benefit enrollment from the employer´s perspective.
"Our clients are our most valuable resource when developing or enhancing features within our products," said Richard Cangemi, president of Mangrove Software. "Customer feedback plays a crucial role in the enhancement of our software. That said, we are very excited to launch Version 5. The sole focus of our development efforts has been directed towards areas that will add the most value for the end user."
