Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

Last month, I wrote about the company celebrating our 45th anniversary. Thinking about all the changes that have taken place over the years reminds me of the people who led the company through the years and have since retired. We owe much of our success to these former leaders and visionaries.
There have been many changes over the last 45 years. I recall having a room full of computers to make copies of the software to send to customers. We needed many different brands of equipment because every system had its own unique disk format, not to mention multiple operating systems. Of course, now virtually all software is distributed as downloads, and our programs are only available for one operating system.
I could go on and on about all the changes we’ve experienced, but the one most important thing is keeping up with the changing times and not falling behind in technology. This is as important for you, as a software user, as it is for us as a supplier. Now would be a good time to inventory your critical business tools and ensure your computer(s) and software are up to date. It’s never fun to have a problem with an important tool and scramble to recover your valuable information.
