After a challenging year in 2001, 2002 was a pretty
good year for Minotaur. We regained our sales and
profit growth, and are optimistic about the prospects
for 2003. We greatly enhanced our sales and marketing
process this year, though we recognize that we have
a lot further to go, both in terms of adding personnel,
and in being better at every aspect of the selling
process. We have also completed a number of major
enhancements to the system side of our product,
including better memory management and drill-down
capability.
For 2003 we will be upgrading the printing and faxing
capability of the software, to make it more flexible and
faster, and to deal with some problems we have encountered
with third party fax software. On the applications side
we have recently completed a substantial rewrite of the
bill processing system, as well as developing our asset
posting module.
We have more programmers on staff than we have had before,
so I anticipate a lot more progress this year. As always,
we try and make changes and enhancements to the system
primarily on the basis of customer input, so please let
us know what you would like to see the system doing. Thank
you for you business in 2002, we look forward to serving
you in 2003 and beyond. Richard
