InterDyn LANAC Technology’s Zip Code Add-In for RMS prompts your cashiers to ask for a customer’s zip code at the start of each transaction. This zip code allows you to track your sales by the zip codes your customers are coming from. Many customers are reluctant to give out their full address, feeling that junk mail will follow them home.
This is faster than adding a new customer into RMS because the cashier just enters the zip code and the add-in does the rest. If the zip code has already been entered, the system will match it up and allow the cashier to continue with the sale. If the zip code is new to the system, the add-in performs an internet lookup to match the city and state and adds this information to the RMS database.
Also included are a Zip Code sales report for Store and HQ Manager and two SQL Server Reporting Services Reports to display Zip Code Sales. Click here to view the drilldown by State report. Click here to view the drilldown by Zip report.

REDMOND, Wash. — Apr. 22, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. today announced record third-quarter revenue of $14.50 billion for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2010, a 6% increase from the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $5.17 billion, $4.01 billion and $0.45 per share, which represented increases of 17%, 35% and 36%, respectively, when compared with the prior year period.
The results include the deferral of $305 million of revenue relating to the Microsoft Office 2010 Technology Guarantee program. Adjusting for the revenue deferral, third-quarter revenue totaled $14.81 billion, an increase of 8% over the prior year period.
“Windows 7 continues to be a growth engine, but we also saw strong growth in other areas like Bing search, Xbox LIVE and our emerging cloud services,” said Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft. “Our record third-quarter revenue along with continued rigor on cost management resulted in exceptional EPS growth.”

REDMOND, Wash. — May 12, 2010 — Today business customers can dive into the next generation of productivity: Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010. Those who want a demonstration of what the new software can do have a unique venue via today’s virtual kickoff.
To help celebrate the availability of the new products, Microsoft is throwing its largest ever simultaneous worldwide launch. In addition to on-site activities at dozens of the company’s subsidiaries, the launch will be accessible live and on-demand through a new virtual launch platform built on SharePoint 2010. The company expects more than half a million people worldwide to participate via the launch website, says Carol Matthews, a senior digital marketing manager for Microsoft’s Information Worker Product Group.
“It is an extremely important milestone for these products, and today’s launch will help amplify the moment and get as many people as possible participating and talking about them,” says Matthews, who headed the cross-group team that built the virtual event and its content. “Without SharePoint 2010, we couldn’t have afforded to do this launch at this scale.”

REDMOND, Wash. — April 21, 2010 — Today’s global and digital economy is producing more data than ever before, which presents challenges to IT professionals and developers who are managing, delivering and securing data and applications. At the same time, the richness of this data presents unparalleled ways for businesses to quickly capitalize on new opportunities – if they can tap into this ocean of data and make it actionable.
With the release to manufacturing (RTM) of SQL Server 2008 R2 this week, Microsoft is delivering its most complete information platform for desktops, datacenters and the cloud. While the R2 release brings a broad swath of new capabilities — including rich support for mission-critical scenarios and significant productivity boosts for IT pros, developers and database administrators (DBAs) — one of its biggest innovations is in business intelligence (BI) and helping companies unlock the power of their data.

Here’s how to successfully implement an analytics methodology.

Decisions made based solely on intuition, gut feelings, and years of experience, while valuable, tend to be less effective than scientific methods. Analytics provides a methodology that incorporates crucial variables and provides simulations that show the impact of our choices before we implement them.
Analytics–the application of mathematics and statistical methods to organizational decision making–has been the focus of a great deal of marketing hype. But to use it successfully requires more than products. Here’s a seven-step process for applying analytics.
