January 2008 Archives

I tend to work in a mixed software environment of old reliables, and the latest and greatest. The same applies to my web browsers. But, usually I find myself sticking to the tried and tested versions of browsers because so much of my work is done online. I can’t afford to have hiccups.

But, today we received a bug report from a client regarding Firefox 3 beta 2 (latest and greatest…not for the faint of heart). Well, to sum it up, there were some changes made to Firefox 3 that threw off Mailroom. But, without fail, Charles was able to spot the change in no time and applied a fix, and voila! Mailroom is compatible even with the cutting edge.

So for all of you that were thinking about making the switch to Firefox 3 and worried about all of your web apps working… rest assured that Mailroom will keep on truckin’.

While most of our audience knows how Mailroom can help you answer sales and support email from customers, few know of its political life. About 1 year ago, we had a client that represented a new segment of users. It was the Obama 2008 Campaign (Sproutit was an initial vendor). As they continued to grow in popularity, so did the sheer number of emails that were receiving from curious , individuals, voters, and supporters. Gray Brooks, the head of their email correspondence said:

This is my third major campaign and I have to say that I am very excited using Sproutit. It’s simply a big step forward from 4 years ago.

Here at Sproutit, we enjoy celebrating in the success that all of our clients, current and former, experience. As you already know, the Obama 2008 campaign faired rather well in the Iowa caucus last week. We hope in some small way, Sproutit Mailroom was able to lend a helping hand. And, we wish them well for today in New Hampshire. Good Luck!

If you know anyone running for public office, local, state or national, or already in office, let them know about Mailroom’s ability to help them connect better with their potential voters (even if they are Republicans, Democrats, or Independents).
