Great Customers - Operating Engineers Funds Inc.

Sometimes customers surprise me...

They see the "tag line" of my email (Support the Fight against Alzheimer's disease!, see also this post) and decide to help.

A few days ago, I received this:

A big Thank You to the Operating Engineers Funds Inc. for their donation!

> Thank you for making me more aware of this disorder.

I wonder.... Is that what is lacking? Awareness? I used to ignore Alzheimer's, even make fun of it. If this was an illness affecting young people, I bet research would get all the funds it needs.

Just for a minute, try to imagine it is your mother who is the patient... After that search google for the Alzheimer support group in your country and make a small donation.

Cober electronics - a WatchFTP customer

As a small business we look to reduce administrative tasks as much as possible.  Document scanning is one of those necessary functions that tends to be labor intensive especially when it needs to be shared by multiple people. We wanted to centralize scanning to a single inexpensive all-in-one device and automate document delivery to the proper person to ensure privacy.

Our all-in-one can send documents to an FTP server but we had no automated way of downloading and sending the scan. Using WatchFTP we created tasks to download the documents from the FTP server and email them to the right person. The entire process is now automated with a couple off button presses on the scanner.
