Greetings,

Graduation time is upon us, which means summer is just around the corner! What do you have planned for summer vacation? This summer brings many great activities for Evisions and we hope they include you.

We're excited to host the 6th Annual Cayuse Users Group Meeting in Portland on July 29th thru 31st. This is a special conference for us as it is our first year of hosting since the Cayuse acquisition. For those who want to learn more about research, attending this show is a must! In more Conference news, Evisions has once again signed up to be the Platinum sponsor for SETA and their conferences, to be held in the fall in Dallas and Indianapolis. The SETA and Evisions close relationship aims to provide the highest quality of events for institutions using Ellucian products.

Ready for a new user experience? It's coming soon with the 4.0 release of Argos. This update has something for all user types. Let us know if you want to get pre-release notification so that you can take advantage of this major release as soon as possible.

Don't forget to join us for one of our many webinars, including the June 26th session with iData on Data Management best practices and Data Cookbook.

Want to learn how to compress files when saving and sending documents using FormFusion? If your institution is licensed for the Email with Encryption Optional Feature, we have the tech tip for you! Learn how to create a compression algorithm in FormFusion and create significantly smaller file sizes, with little to no noticeable difference in output quality.

We've posted two new videos on our YouTube channel. Gain insights on new ways to use Argos by seeing other institutions answer the question "How are you using Argos?" and how Argos dramatically improved strategic capabilities for Hilbert College.

Enjoy this exciting time of the year.

Improved User Experience in Next Argos Release

As we mentioned last month, a new release of Argos 4.0 is coming soon. This is a major release of Argos and contains many client requested features including ease of use enhancements and added functionality. Email support@evisions.com if you would like to be added to the Argos 4.0 pre-release notification list.

In this release, with just a few clicks, you will be able to save parameters and OLAP settings for next time. Save time with the ability to group objects and with the new revision control for DataBlocks and reports. Take advantage of the security enhancements in Argos 4.0 with the enforcement of MAPS Password Policy and "role-based" security which allows custom user types to be created with the exact permissions needed. Get information more quickly with Argos Help which is now accessible via web with its new search capability, embedded User Guides and training videos. And you will be wowed with the revamped product launcher look and feel. The launcher is now Java based, has direct access to resources and has increased browser support. Coming soon is a release making Argos easier to use and a better experience for all user types.

Data Management, Data Cookbook and Argos Reporting Webinar

Join iData and us on Tuesday, June 26th at 11am PDT for an informative webinar regarding data management. Beyond great technology, a successful reporting project starts with agreement on the data definitions and reporting requirements. In this session, iData will discuss the benefits of the collaboration between Evisions and DataCookbook.com, iData's higher education data management tool. Topics discussed will be an overview of data management best practices, a DataCookbook.com introduction and a demonstration of using the Data Cookbook with Argos.
