 Enterprise Spreadsheet Solutions www.FarPointSpread.com/news  

Even as we reach out to customers with LiveMeeting and other online forms of communication — giving you direct access to assistance with any question you have about FarPoint spreadsheet solutions, we still have a core competence in product quality and a focus on feature-rich development. The awards are a clear indication of our ability to exceed customer expectations.

The hiring of a new Director of Development (more news next month) will only strengthen our emphasis on product focus. Along with that will come further developments in service — at FarPoint we know that one does not exclude the other. In fact, we are experts in providing spreadsheet solutions, which involve both product focus and service commitment. The news this month supports this claim.
