I have been with the Four51 team since May of 2005, and have been conducting Four51 training sessions since January of 2006. I also teach martial arts in my spare time. The only difference between my two teaching endeavors are that Four51 training attendees are not required to bow to me, although it does gain you extra credit points. Always remember that 'add' is your friend.

To upgrade or not to upgrade: Pageflex 6

Neither Lynn Anderson nor I ever promised you a rose garden. What does that have to do with anything, you might ask. It reminds me of debates about technology upgrades. When encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of something, we (me included) are at times tempted to push back and say: I don’t want to upgrade. What I have works fine. The new version will undoubtedly have stability issues. And all my employees are trained on the current version, and now you’re setting us back. And so on. Ad nauseum.

Well, no one ever promised that your interface would remain the same forever. DOS gave way to Windows. Progress isn’t without setbacks, but if you choose technology partners wisely, real progress over time is what you’ll get. That’s what you were promised. Protecting your business data, not the interface. Taking advantage of new features means new learning.

So, here is something to keep in mind when debating about upgrading to Pageflex 6. The Four51 application support team has upgraded to Pageflex 6 on all our machines. This means that if you require us to open a product we will not be able to upload any changes that we make to it unless you are also using Pageflex 6. Once a project has been saved in Pageflex 6 you will not be able to open it again in an older version.

Help support help you by upgrading. Plus Pageflex 6 has a lot of cool new features!  Check out a recording of the demo I gave on September 25th on the knowledgebase to learn more about it.

Who is your friend? “Add” is your friend!

Thank you.

-Mike & Jim, with all due respect to Lynn

  1. I was nervous about upgrading to Pageflex, but it was easy and I haven’t had a single issue!
