/01. Project Chameleon: sneak peek 04 - Reports.
Work continues apace on the new version of iD-points, codenamed Project Chameleon.
One of the areas we are really focussing on in this release are much improved reporting facilities. This will enable Supervisors to extract much greater information about their incentive activity, and have much more control about the range of data they wish to retrieve.
For instance, a Supervisor will now be able to specify the exact date range for their reports. They will be able to 'slice and dice' the data by Groups, Campaigns etc, and export any recordset created in a range of data format. We'll also make it easier to show data in a graphical format, with a range of charts and graphs, and automatically create attractive reports.
In addition, we'll provide much greater information on End User usage patterns - allowing Supervisors to see much more clearly who has logged in recently, and perhaps more importantly, who hasn't logged in.
We'll also be adding in better reporting on products, showing the most popular items, and enabling tax reporting.

/02. Latest blog entries
The IncentiveDirect blog is the place to find out the latest news and views of the incentives and motivation sector, and an insight into our unique approach and vision.
Recent entries include:
Kaizen and the art of application development.
"Kaizen (pronounced "kigh-zen") is the time-honored practice of continuous, incremental improvement. In the software industry, it's the practice of actively improving designs, code, processes, and everything else, continuously, now and forever, to create a complete customer experience."
Patent trolls may hinder retail-online incentives
"In a move which may have big implications for the incentive industry, a couple in Utah are suing Starbucks and Apple for patent infringement for selling giftcards at a bricks-and-mortar retail store, which are then redeemed online."

/03. New products in store
We continue to add great new products to the iD-points store.

Ratatouille
The latest Pixar blockbuster to be released on DVD, Ratatouille tells the unlikely story of Remy, a rat living in Paris who wants to be a gourmet chef. Beyond the obvious, "be the best you can be" homily is a charming story of friendship, team-work and food hygiene.
