Hi Everyone,

As you’ve probably noticed we have been very slow in posting over the summer. I personally had a serious case of writer’s block that stemmed from social media overload, from which I am now happily recovered.

For those who don’t know, you can now follow us on Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook.  The Xcelsius Gurus network / communities have grown to over a 1000+ members combined over the summer due to your ‘word of mouth’.  We appreciate your support!

As fall eases in, and we say goodbye to our summer vacations I wanted to kick off this Fall by recapping some important events that took place over the summer in the Xcelsius world.

1. Xcelsius Gurus/ SAP Customer Success Story – SAP did a customer success story one of our favorite New York based clients, Makosi Inc and this is the results. This was very exciting for us as we finally got a chance to show some of our work.  More to come on this during the fall!
2. Xcelsius Gurus Social Expansion - We decided to extend our social reach and it has been a great success thanks to YOU!  As mentioned above you can follow us on Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
   
3. Xcelsius Gurus 1 Year Anniversary - This actually took place at the end of June while most of us were on Vacation.  We have grown quite a bit since last year and we plan to make 2010 a record year as the product continues to evolve.
4. Xcelsius Gurus GBN Presentations - This will come in a separate post next week.
   
5. Xcelsius Gurus GBN Webinar Recordings – Evan and myself did webinars for GBN this summer. We had a great turn out and it went well.  I also gave away 2 free template files to all attendees that can be found on the GBN Dashboarding website, I believe. You have to register for a free GBN Membership, but its well worth it. You then scroll down the page to find the webinar and hear the recordings.

1. Release of Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2 (Enterprise, Engage, Engage Server) – It was a bit bumpy in the beginning but SAP quickly got over the humps. We’ve gotten mixed reviews from users, but so far so good!
2. Release of Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2 (Present ONLY) – This was released separately and hardly announced.  We honestly did not realize that the Service Packs for Present would be separate releases.
3. GBN Conference Early Bird Special (ended 9/4/09) – We are so excited about this event as all of our Gurus are presenting some of which are not represented on this site.  We will all be there and we are working to finalize the details on an invitation only SAP / Xcelsius Gurus event for the Xcelsius Community.  More to come this week!
4. Antivia XWIS wins SAP award for best integration with SAP BOE – This award winning application is definitely worth taking a look at for all who are frustrated with the limitations of QaaWS and Live Office.
