Microsoft .NET Framework Technology Update

12 June 2023 StephanieE Customer Information
With our next major version update of CenterPoint (version 18), we will upgrade to Microsoft .NET 6. Keeping current with technologies like Microsoft .NET allows Red Wing Software to continue to provide our customers with the best experience possible when using our products.
If you developed an interface with CenterPoint using our original .NET Framework 4.7 SDK, you will need to update your application to target Microsoft .NET 6 in order to continue to integrate after version 18 is released. Note: Red Wing Software now offers a new REST API for CenterPoint that does not require you to use Microsoft .NET. For more information see the CenterPoint Development & Integration Resource Portal.

Employee Spotlight -Tony Crawford

11 April 2023 StephanieE Employee Spotlight
Hi, I am Tony, and I have worked at Red Wing Software since just before the Twins won their last World Series in 1991. My job is to write software and thereby keep QA busy. I strive to write code that somebody just out of college could understand, but I don’t succeed as often as I’d like. I also enjoy making sense of data, usually through reports. I like to read, travel, and write more code when I’m not working. My wife and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. During our married life, Red Wing Software allowed me to keep my job while we moved from Minnesota to London, New York, Amsterdam, and now beautiful Bucks County, PA. I collect old maps and useless facts about the origins of words, both of which do not lend themselves to engaging dinner conversation. After many years of being dilettantes, some friends and I are working on getting our sommelier certifications, partly as an excuse to try new wines but mainly as an excuse to go to Italy for the final test.

Hi everyone! My name is Jake, and I started working for Red Wing Software in November 2022. I’ve spent the last 12 years working in finance operations but decided to move on from the corporate scene and get back to my roots of directly providing a service to customers. I worked in customer service and sales for about 20 years before finance and enjoyed every minute of it. I’m hoping to find that same satisfaction here at Red Wing Software, and from what I can tell it should be relatively easy to accomplish. My tenure has been short, but I can already tell what a fantastic company this is by the people around me and our vision for serving our customers with excellence. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this team!
I spend my free time watching the Vikings, going on an ATV adventure, casting a fishing rod, playing with my dogs, or hanging out with my grandkids, which is the most rewarding of all. I also enjoy spending time with my parents or any number of my cousins and extended family. Another thing I enjoy is climbing into my 1979 International 886. Don’t get me wrong, I may aspire to be an actual farmer, but all this converted city boy does is run the disc around the field to knock down some weeds and kick up some dirt. This comes in especially handy when my wife tells me she has a project for me, as it gives me an escape and a couple of hours of serenity. Although I will miss my IH dearly, I am considering moving on from plowing dirt and potentially swapping it out for a skid steer. I still may not know what I am doing, but it gives me another loud diesel to crank up as I’m about to get a new assignment from my wife.
I am looking forward to speaking with you and hope to lend a helping hand when needed.
