• Katrina’s (Administrative Assistant) daughter, Kyla, enjoyed a boat and beach outing.
• Connie’s (Technical Writer) daughter, Jenna, traveled with her Spanish class to Costa Rica for a trip of a lifetime! They stayed with host families to be immersed in their culture and practice speaking Spanish, learned Costa Rican cooking and dancing, visited the beach, mountains, and pineapple, chocolate, and coffee plantations. Jenna thought the best part of all was zip lining over the rain forest.
• Marlene (Technical Support Specialist) and Dick (Development) and family of four married daughters and 12 grandchildren had a great family vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Our cabin overlooked the majestic Smoky Mountains. Hiking trips with steep inclines were an adventure with 12 kids, but playing at Laurel Falls was an awesome reward at the end. The family picture was taken in front of Laurel Falls. No one was ready to leave the Smokies!
• Stephanie (Marketing) and her boyfriend Glenn took a trip to Europe, where they stayed in Vienna and Bratislava, and took a tour of Slovakian castles. It was a trip of a lifetime!

At Red Wing Software, we are continuously looking for ways to help our customers make better use of the data they enter into our applications, and easier ways to share information between programs. To that end, Dick and Dan, the managers of our development and design departments, recently participated in a gathering of like-minded software companies that have similar goals.

This industry specific, not-for-profit organization was formed to help develop standard methods for naming conventions of specific data in order to make communication between programs easier to accomplish. While there is still some work to be done before these standards are available to be published, our team is actively involved in shaping these standards, especially in the area of financial information.

For quite some time, we have had the ability to export data from CenterPoint and, in the latest version, have added the ability to import data into CenterPoint. Some of our customers have already found uses for this functionality. Over the next few months, we will be announcing and releasing some exciting new ways that data entered into CenterPoint applications may be shared with other specific programs.
