Hot off the press: As previously announced, wonderful things are happening over at RES. Today 5pm CET, RES Software has changed the website, logo and messaging, but that’s not all. Product names and categorizations have changed too! More below. There are many other significant changes underway, which will be revealed over the course of this week. To help you make sense of it all, here is a quick breakdown on what’s going on so far:

• New website. Have a look at the new RESsoftware.com, which is live now.
• New logo. Gone is the old blue-white-black. You can view the new shaded logo in all it’s glory by clicking on the miniature in the upper left corner of this article.
• New product suite: As of today, all the current products are considered part of ONE  suite, called the RES Dynamic Desktop Studio. See the illustration on the right.
• The product now formerly known as RES PowerFuse will from today be known as the RES Workspace Manager, part of the Dynamic Desktop Stuido.
• RES Wisdom will from today be known as the RES Automation Manager. also part of the suite

Now, if you will excuse me, I’ve got 50.000 entries in the RESpedia to edit.. :-)

Greetings all Guru’s! Today RESguru.com proudly announces the launch of a new part of the site, the Forums. C’mon – every good blog has to have one, right? Anyway a few good men have been test driving the forums  for little while before the announcement today. Just like every vendor has it’s own official forum, RESguru is the first unofficial RES forum of it’s kind, hopefully to be joined by many more in the future. It’s all about building communities.

If you’ve got something on your mind; questions, ideas, rants, answers, grins or gripes  related to RES products  - anything RES at all, feel free to drop in and say hi. The current forum members include some of the most accomplished RES consultants, integrators, system administrators, techs, etc. However, since this is a forum based on voulentary participation, if you got a urgent problem with your RES production environment your best bet is still to talk with the friendly folks at RES Support.

The full link to the Forum is: www.resguru.com/forum, which you will find as a permanent link  in the Guru Links section on the right hand the blog.

Here’s some catchup on what’s been going on for the last month. On March 31st  at 15:30, Hell froze over, the pigs made Mach 1, and RES got a slick new website! The portal is however still pretty much the same.

Mystified by the appearance of two rectangular objects resembling containers of sorts, RESguru.com sent out their trusty investigators, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Freeman to examine the website in more detail. We now go live to an in-depth interview:

Looks like there’s now a buildingblock section at the RES forum.  It’s even a publicly accessible place – Nice!However, these are not RES endorsed nor certified buildingblocks. Guess it’s the same groundrules which applies around here. Anyway go have a look here
