Readysell Cloud Backup

Readysell
February 9, 2011

Thanks to advancements in online storage, Readysell is now able to offer a cloud-based backup solution running on Amazon’s popular S3 service. The new Readysell Backup service allows you to seamlessly, securely and automatically protect your company’s files against loss, theft, viruses, and natural disasters. It also allows you to access your data from any web browser, anytime, anywhere, securely with just a click.

For customers already taking advantage of this service, we have now configured automatic email for alerts for your backup using your primary email address. You will start to receive your daily reports shortly.

In addition, you should have already logged on to our website to download and installed the Readysell Backup Management console. This should be installed on your workstation so that at any time you can log in and make changes, add additional backup folders or just check your current backup status. If you do not have your username and/or password, please send an email to support@readysell.com.au to retrieve it.

Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0

Readysell
January 18, 2011

Late last month Microsoft released the second version of their award-winning and free anti-malware tool, Microsoft Security Essentials.

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) can be used for no charge on any Windows XP or Windows 7 computer in businesses with up to 10 PCs. If you fall into this category, we highly recommend MSE as an anti-malware solution.

Benefits of the new version include:

  • Integration with Internet Explorer for better protection against web-based threats
  • Network inspection to monitor local network traffic for threats
  • Heuristic engine to detect even more threats
  • Windows Firewall integration

If you are already running MSE version 1 on your PC, you will be automatically upgraded to version 2 via Windows Update. If you have a new PC you wish to install MSE on, uninstall any existing antivirus software and then go to this website to download and install MSE.

RObI Web Order Changes

Readysell
January 17, 2011

RObI (Readysell/Office Brands Interface) version 1.2.4.0 was deployed to all stores late last week. This version contains a change that will potentially affect the way web orders are imported at your store.

RObI now checks the “Customer Order Required” flag on your Readysell customer file (see screenshot below).

If a customer is flagged as “Customer Order Required” and does not supply a Purchase Order number number with their WebSphere Order, the order will be automatically held (i.e. placed into SALHLD status). This means the order will not print automatically (if you have this function enabled) and will instead need to be manually reviewed before it is processed.

Loading the ED05 Education Flyer

Readysell
November 30, 2010

We have had reports about incorrect sell prices from members who have loaded flyer ONED05. Upon checking with head office we have been advised that ONED05 is a Government Flyer. As a result it has to be loaded in a different way to a normal Flyer. Whether or not you have already loaded ONED05, the procedure below will result in loading of the correct prices for this flyer.

The replacement Flyers which will be deployed on Wednesday 01/12/2010 are named:

  • ONED05G – ONED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 Gov (for Office National)
  • OPDED05G – OPDED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 Gov (for Office Products Depot)
How to Load

ONED05 – ONED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 or OPDED05 – OPDED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 should be loaded as you would load a normal Catalogue, however you will have to remove the active start and end dates.

Next you must load the ONED05G – ONED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 Gov or OPDED05G – OPDED05 Education Flyer 01/10/2010 – 31/03/2011 Gov flyers as Government (like you would with a normal Catalogue), making sure the active start and end dates are active.
