By now all of you should have
noticed the new look of our newsletter ESI News Brief. It sports more articles dealing with fluid
piping systems and the PIPE-FLO program.
We recently hired Delcina Betts as our Director of Marketing; she has
been very busy since her arrival and the new ESI News Brief is the initial
results of her excellent work. The new
format has a cleaner look which provides a single page format with links to the
articles in more detail.
The newsletter is not the only
thing that has changed. Approximately
300 to 400 people a day venture to our Knowledge Base to discover further
information regarding fluid piping systems, and how to use our PIPE-FLO
programs in a variety of applications.
We recently completed a major change to the Knowledge Base search engine
providing better and more relevant search results. Not only does the new Knowledge Base make it
easier for our customers to search, it is easier for our technical support
staff to add new Knowledge Base articles.
One of our newest articles is Ask
an Engineer Column; here we provide greater detail on specific aspects of items
typically found in fluid piping systems.
This information comes from questions asked of our support staff, as
well as our instructors in the FLO-Master, and Piping System Fundamentals
courses. In addition, PIPE-FLO specific articles are now included so you can
review Case Studies performed with the PIPE-FLO program along with more
detailed PIPE-FLO program features.
We at Engineered Software strive to
give back to the community. This month
many of our employees participated in the United Way day of Caring. We are also involved in a major Capital
Construction Campaign at Saint Martin’s University that will add a new engineering
lab. Saint Martin’s has excellent
programs in computer science, mechanical engineering, and civil
engineering. Many of our employees are
St. Martin’s graduates and we feel it is a good investment to give back to the
school so they can continue to provide skilled and talented graduates.
We haven’t forgotten the lighter
side of engineering, for those of you who like crossword puzzles we have a
puzzle full of words and phrases found in fluid piping systems such as a
thirteen letter word for “a device that facilitates heat transfer between two
fluids”.
It has been a very busy month for me.
I was at a Hydraulic Institute meeting for a week of meetings, along with
performing the final review of an upcoming ISO 144414 standard for Assessments
of Pumped Systems scheduled for release next year.
Finally we are currently working on
a new Website, developing new products, and adding additional features to our
existing programs. Keep reading the
newsletter cause “Things they are a changing”.
