Things About TOP The 'Tech Line'
"Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed."

The SCO Mobile Server significantly reduces the time and cost of developing mobile solutions and of extending existing business applications to mobile devices. Developers of mobile business solutions face numerous obstacles that cause projects to take much longer and cost much more than anticipated. These issues range from mobile device limitations and quirky inconsistencies to issues of back-end system integration and security.
The SCO Mobile Server provides a mobile application development and deployment alternative that overcomes all of these obstacles. So rather than getting bogged down with tedious, difficult and unavoidable side issues, developers can focus instead on implementing business processes and not get bogged down in system level functions
SCO Group stock trades up 22% following announcements regarding India's government pilot program selecting SCO Mobile Server as their platform for developing and deploying government services to more than 60 million citizens. India is deploying this e-governance solution to provide online public services and record keeping, online bill payment, taxes, land records, income certificates, loans, driving licenses, birth and death certificates and government entitlement programs. The pilot project using SCO Mobile Server enables electronic provisioning of services and access to government information using a cell phone over the cell carrier network.
DTR Business Systems on 'Hot List'
DTR Business Systems has focused on building file servers for a very specific niche market while settling on a single vendor as the primary source for key components and this focus has paid off. While building over 1000 servers in 2006 will not get DTR on a list of large system builders, but its business of assembling servers to order for small companies has grabbed them the No. 2 spot on CRN's 'White Hot Performers for 2007'. Mindware was interviewed for the article and below is a link to the article in its entirety.
Mindware has depended on DTR for a few years now for their file servers because they can order the server with the operating system and BackupEdge already installed, along with all component parts and can be drop shipped directly to our customers. Before the unit is shipped to the customer, Mindware can generate and setup the OS, users, printers and peripherals online at DTR's place of business.

We need to be able to edit the ship via code on our invoices. Since the last TOP upgrade, we can no longer change the ship via. Why has this been changed?
Answer:
Total Order Plus allows you to change the ship via code on an existing order/invoice by accessing the total screen. At the freight field, press F2 to edit the ship via.
The reason for the change is that customers were allowed to edit the ship via on the header information screen but they weren't changing the freight amount for the new ship via on the total screen.
Things You May Not Know About TOP
Use your Total Order Plus order number to track UPS shipments. Go to www.ups.com --> Select Tracking --> Track by Reference --> Enter TOP order number for the shipment reference --> Enter UPS account number.
This requires entering the TOP order number as a reference number. If you are using the TOP UPS Interface software, this is done automatically.
