IMPORTANT REMINDER! You may recall our post from August 2009, alerting you to a media change from CD to DVD for Sage Timberline Office Accounting and Estimating products in 2010. Well, the time has come! Sage Timberline Office Version 9.7 will be distributed in DVD format only (except Residential Management, Document Management and some peripheral products still distributed on CD). Please discuss any necessary changes with your IT professional so you can avoid suprises when you are ready to upgrade.
We’ll announce details about the release date when more information is available. At that time, contact our IT Group for any direction or assistance with your upgrade at 888-865-9425.

We still have a few more weeks of summer left, so it seems odd to be thinking about year-end already! Despite the fact that it’s almost 90 degrees outside and school is still out, Sage is planning ahead and has released an official communication with their plans for the 2009 year-end release. This information comes along with the announcement of the newest release of Sage Timberline office (version 9.6 update 5), which will be available for download next week. This newest release for 9.6 includes many new features, which you can read about here.
For 2009, the year-end update will be compatible with the following versions:
- 9.4.1
- 9.5.0 and 9.5.0 Rev 1
- 9.6.0 and 9.6.0 Rev 1
If you are on a version earlier than 9.4.1 and use Timberline for year-end government reporting, it is recommended that you upgrade to version 9.6 before December.
One more thing to consider, beginning in 2010, Sage Timberline Office Accounting and Estimating products will be distributed in DVD format only (although, some updates may still be available by download). Document Management and some peripheral products will still be distributed on CDs. You should discuss this with your IT professional to determine if your system is capable of accommodating this media change.
As always, feel free to contact us with questions at 888-865-9425 or by email at support@cisinfo.com.

We want your blood! Well, not exactly… but The Community Blood Center of the Carolinas needs your blood, so the Bloodmobile will be at our Charlotte, NC office on Friday June 26th from 10am-noon. If you are in the area, please stop by and donate. You can schedule an appointment by clicking here. Walk-ins are also welcome. We would love to see you there!
According to the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC):
“About 4 million people need blood each year — one every 12 seconds. Our local hospitals transfuse more than 100,000 blood components every year. When we think of the need for blood, we often think of emergencies, but for thousands of Americans, transfusions are a way of life. People who suffer from cancer, heart disease, leukemia and other major illnesses need blood on a regular basis to survive.”
For more information about donating blood, click here to visit the CBCC website.
