Dear valued OpenLM users,
On this first edition of the OpenLM 2012 Newsletter I would
like to greet you all, and wish you a happy and successful new year. 2011 has been very good for us here at OpenLM, all thanks to your support. Our team has grown bigger, and is now able to provide better support to our improved product.
We are proud to introduce the OpenLM Mobile touch interface. This interface may run on any mobile device operating system; e.g.: IOs, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile etc. With the help of some of our faithful customers, we have managed to perform a successful Beta trial for this interface. The OpenLM Mobile Touch interface is available to all customers under a valid maintenance agreement with no additional cost.
Based upon requests from our customers, and following Dassault Systemes migration from IBM-LUM to their proprietary DSLS license manager, OpenLM has quickly adapted to provide support to DSLS. We look forward to receiving further customer requests, in order to meet our users’ needs.
We have recently launched a new and enhanced company website. This site is clearer, more informative, useful and generally – nicer than our old one. Among other things, It features a new introductory animated video on OpenLM. We hope that you will like it.
Best Regards,
Oren Gabay, CEO
