CryWolf® Users Conference 2012

One of the advantages of using the CryWolf® alarm billing software is the excellent customer service that they provide. This customer service is available on a daily basis through our rep. However, the company also extends that service with a  User's Conference held each year in conjunction with the FARA symposium.  This demonstrates their commitment to long term relationships with their customers. It also shows their commitment to FARA's mission also.
At this meeting, PSC often reveals exciting updates to CryWolf® and shares tips and tricks to make using the system easier. Today's conference was no exception and there are some exciting features already available with more coming soon.  I don't want to steal their thunder, but I was told that I could mention some things. (And just between you and me, it was exciting to have PSC mention my blog and say that they liked it),
One of the big changes coming this year is the new website that they will be revealing. Some of the features will be a knowledge base for CryWolf®, an on demand download section where units will be able to obtain the newest version of the software, and even a help section.
One of the most exciting features of the website for me is the online software training that they are developing.  They have named it CryWolf® University (CWU) and it truly looks awesome. As someone who came into a unit that was using CryWolf® already, I missed the on site training that occurs when the system is installed. CWU will be a remedy for that and will be a way for units to train new staff. It will also be a way to supplement the onsite training and go into greater detail on how to use the software.  Right now, there are 34 multi-media courses that will lead to a framable "diploma".
As exciting as CWU is, I am just as excited about the Sharing section that will be included on the website.  This section will be a place for units to share and upload forms, templates, or reports that others might find useful and can then download and use.

I want to thank Public Safety Corporation for hosting this event each year.  It is always a highlight and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this super perk.  And it truly is a perk since PSC does not charge their customers anything for this event.
Over the next few weeks, I will share some more things that were discussed at the meeting.  Hold onto your hats.  This year is going to be exciting!

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year?  I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old.  Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived.  Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah?  When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity.  Maybe it felt so long  because  I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen.  My parents were teachers  and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone.  We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house.  I probably tried something different each time-...

CiteBlue

I have been enjoying participating in the MSU College of Law Social Media Contest . I have learned (and am still learning) a lot. Because of my activity, I have been able to connect with organizations and people that I would never have come across without social media. For this introvert, it has been like opening a whole new world. (I know, most people would never guess that I am an introvert; they probably just think that I am a snob. In social settings, I am a complete misfit, but put me in front of a classroom or conference room and I shine. It is strange, I know, but that is me. Perhaps we will dissect that in a different post). It has been interesting to see what posts attract followers. It has also been eye opening to figure out that followers also appear with an agenda--for example, some follow hoping to be followed in return to build their own group. This week, a company called CiteBlue "followed" me on Twitter. I wasn't familiar with the company, so I clicked o...

Ferret Friday #13-Property Ferret

This semester, I have been enjoying the Property book selected by our professor. The book was written by John G. Sprankling and Raymond R. Coletta, and I have found the book to be very approachable. I have really enjoyed the interactive elements that make the book quite engaging. The authors seem to have a sense of humor as this line from the preface indicates: "As authors, we own any errors in the text, at least until someone with better title comes along." Instead of making the study of law as painful as possible with archaic language and cases that are difficult to fathom, the authors seem to have sifted through related cases until they found the most interesting ones to illustrate the rules. With many text books this year, I have spent much time flipping through a legal dictionary just to decipher the lesson. So far, that is not the case with this book; the authors have used language that is easy to follow. I am not saying that important legal terms have been left out ...
