The GoldMine Blog - Tips, Tricks & More

GoldMine Premium Edition has been released!  Word came today from FrontRange that it will start shipping tomorrow, April 25th.

Over the next few week I'll be organizing some webinars to start walking us through this very exciting release. 

I've been in the beta group for a couple of releases now and the software looks pretty good.  The core functionality seems to be stable, but there are a few rough edges to smooth out...  Work is already underway on GoldMine Premium Edition 8.1...

Dave is at it again!  GoldBox 7, "The World's Largest Add-On for CRM" has been updated (Patch 2007 A) for compatibility with GoldMine Premium Edition.
