Hello from DOMICO! It’s time for another DOMICO Newsletter. I am your editor, Angelica Chan. I am also the Marketing Coordinator at DOMICO. Many of you may have gotten phone calls or emails from me. My job is to make sure that our DOMICO customers are satisfied with our products and services. Just because you've bought our software doesn't mean that we stop caring. If you ever have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at DOMICO's toll free phone number.

Our developers have been hard at work creating a major upgrade for our web based eDOMICO Reports Manager. Below, you'll see a sneak peak and a press release from our President, Glenn Hunter. 

With Microsoft's newest operating system, Vista, there have been many questions about the compatibility with DOMICO Software. Our Client Support Technician, John Dittmer, addresses these issues in our tech tip of the month.

Check out our newsletter and see what’s been going on with DOMICO.  

Berkeley, CA –All DOMICO customers who make use of the powerful web-based eDOMICO technology will receive an upgrade to their eDOMICO REPORTS MANAGER, allowing them to instantly take advantage of the new power from this latest version.

Based upon .Net technology, the newest eDOMICO REPORTS MANAGER allows DOMICO customers to use a variety of powerful reporting tools. These now include an industry first, Investor Reporting View. The Investor Reporting View provides facility investors with instant web-based reports. A DOMICO owner or management company can offer their investors an easily accessible, but customized and limited view of just those facilities from the company’s portfolio in which they have an interest.

“We have eliminated an enormous amount of work for both our management companies, as well as the many, many corporate accounts who have private investors ‘behind the scenes,’” explains Glenn Hunter, President/Owner of DOMICO. “Our customers can now provide this tool to their investors and let the investors view selected information on only their properties!”

When new versions of eDOMICO REPORTS MANAGER become available, all users, including investors, will be able to upgrade their technology instantly through the latest .NET technology.
