Do you get annoyed when you order something online, then have to wait for it? We do. That’s why we created the new Accrisoft Freedom Instant Demo.

Instead of filling out a demo request and then waiting around, a demo site will now be waiting and ready to go immediately. We want to make it easier to learn about Freedom, and removing this waiting period is one small hurdle we’ve now removed.

Once logged into their demo, users are presented with a “Getting Started” video playlist and a workbook that takes them through a series of exercises designed to familiarize them with the system.

Live demos are reset every night, so feel free to get in there and make a mess -- think of it as your playground.

Accrisoft was a part of South by Southwest this year, presenting our software at the SXSW Interactive conference, which focuses on emerging technology. It was great getting in front of all of those technology-minded people and talking about what our products can do for their businesses. We learned a lot from the other exhibitors, as well.

Accrisoft attended as a guest of Server Beach, a leading hosting company and one of our strategic partners. We had a lot of interesting discussions, learned a lot about the future of technology, and got to enjoy some great music and culture. If you didn't make it this year, we suggest you see it for yourself in 2013.

Accrisoft Endeavor is a product that lets web development companies manage every aspect of their businesses: billing their clients, accepting payments, tracking support tickets, managing projects, and much more. It can drastically reduce the amount of time spent managing a web development company, and let business owners and operators focus instead of generating business and building beautiful websites.

Our Getting Started series for Endeavor gives a high-level overview of the software and a quick peek at what it's capable of. These videos are highly recommended for those new to Endeavor who want to see what advantages it can offer.

The first video is below. To watch the full series, click here.

As many of you know, there's been a big push at Accrisoft recently toward solidifying the entire training process. We call it "onboarding" — the idea of taking someone who's never used Accrisoft Freedom before and getting that person up to speed as quickly and efficiently as possible. We know that it's important to provide lots of informative videos and other materials, but we also want to make sure not to overwhelm people with too much information too quickly.

That's why we're creating "Getting Started" series for each of our interfaces. These videos are short and to the point, and they give the viewer a good platform for extending their knowledge in the future with more in-depth videos and other materials.

The Blue Interface's Getting Started videos are an ideal place for new Freedom users to begin. They take viewers through a few basic tasks in Blue without overwhelming them with too much information that won't be retained. The first video in the five-part series, Intro to Freedom, is below.
