ANNOUNCE: NEWS FROM MADCAP SOFTWARE

- MADCAP FEEDBACK SERVER NOW AVAILABLE
- WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MADCAP FEEDBACK
- FEEDBACK SERVER INTRODUCTORY OFFER
- FREE LIVE DEMOS

----MADCAP FEEDBACK SERVER NOW AVAILABLE-----

We are pleased to announce the release of the MadCap Feedback
Server. With the Server, MadCap Software introduces a new
revolutionary way to get live user feedback on your
documentation - not only for Web-based Help, but also for
desktop Help such as HTML Help and DotNet Help.

With the addition of the Feedback Server, the on-premise option
to MadCap's Feedback Service, MadCap becomes the only Help
content authoring provider to offer state-of-the-art Web 2.0
communications in both hosted and local server-based versions.
As a result, MadCap customers have unmatched flexibility for
enabling end users to become an extension of the documentation
team itself.

Cutting-edge Web 2.0 capabilities allow readers to comment
blog-style directly in documentation, as well rate different
topics. At the same time, authors retain full control of which
features are used and by whom. Now documentation professionals
can easily gain insight into what readers are looking for--
and whether they can find it.

Other key capabilities include:
-Feedback Explorer: This is the key to viewing user activity. Availab
le
both within the Flare interface and as a separate application,
the Feedback Explorer allows content authors to view and track
all reader activity via a user-friendly interface.

-Search terms using the Feedback Explorer: Authors can view
search keywords entered by users. This helps to answer such
questions as, "What are they looking for? What are they finding?
What are they not finding?"


-Synonym support: Content authors can add synonyms to
synchronize search phases, increasing the chances that readers
will find the information they are seeking. Since the synonym
data is separate from the project data, there is no need to
re-publish the content pages.

-Charts: By transferring user statistics to configurable,
multi-color, multi-shape feedback charts, authors can analyze
and report on readers' usage trends.

-Web and desktop support: The Feedback Server not only tracks
reader activity on Web-based Help, but also on desktop Help,
such as HTML Help and DotNet Help. This allows a wider base of
Help authors to take advantage of MadCap Feedback and benefit
from thorough insight into usage patterns and requirements.

---- WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MADCAP FEEDBACK-----

"As a leader in the customer relationship management space for
associations, the ability to listen and respond to our customers'
needs is a top priority. We've found different solutions for
tracking readers' use of our CRM for Members documentation, but
only the MadCap Feedback Service has the Web 2.0 functionality
that allows us to collect 'real-time' feedback from our customers,"
said Chad Ohman, director of corporate strategic technologies for
Protech Associates, Inc. "Using the Feedback Service, I've taken
several valuable reader comments and made them available to other
customers. More importantly, by viewing readers' input, I've been
able to respond quickly to their needs and establish a closer,
one-to-one connection. I now look forward to implementing the
Feedback Server onsite in order to integrate it with our CRM
system."
