WOW .. What a year !! Here's what we accomplished this year in a Nutshell.

We had one of our most aggressive years regarding development and enhancements in 2012.

We hear it all the time regarding our competitors where customers tell us "I pay $xxx dollars a year for a Maintenance Agreement ... and I maybe get some minor updates and bug fixes a year. But nothing like what I'm paying for." Kentech Inc. has no maintenance fees ... all our UPGRADES are in the $95 to $145 range and we never stop working hard for our customers ... advancing our real world software.

We invite you to scroll through the list below as yourself this question : What has my "Maintenance Agreement" with Big Software Company Inc. gotten me this year? I'll guarantee it's nothing to match what you'll see below !!!

First though ... I would like to emphasize a couple of points

1. Kentech Inc. is a full C corporation. We are not a hobby ... we didn't tinker with a hobby idea and put it out there with no support. Call us ... you'll talk with a real person. Email us ... you'll have a response not in 24 hours but probably within 2 or 4 minutes normal business hours or 2 to 4 hours on off hours.
2. We do charge a realistic fee for our software because we stand behind it. There's plenty of "free" software out there ... mostly the reason it's free is because those that wrote it figure that is they don't charge for it they are not responsible to support it or even if it works correctly.
3. We are committed to our products and our customers ... we have been in business for almost 27 years. This list below I think makes it crystal clear ... You can count on us for the long haul !!

• January : We completely revised our website ... www.KentechInc.com ... with a new enhanced and improved user interface to make everything "kipware" easier to find and navigate to.
• February : We released a completely revised and enhanced version of our KipwareTP® toolpath plotting and editor software with tons of new features and with a new and enhanced user interface built for the future.
• March : We released a new and enhanced version of our Kipware® SketchPad - Conversational CAD/CAM with powerful new features ... a completely new user interface ... which took our conversational drawing and CAM ideas to the next level.
• June : We released a new and enhanced version of our KipwareTRK® - Quotation Tracking and Analyzing Software. With a complete redo ... KipwareTRK® is a state of the art tracking and analyzing software application whose uses are really only limited by your imagination.
• July : We added a ROTATION feature to our KipwareM® conversational CNC programming software for milling. The NEW KipwareM® was released in late fall of 2011 and now users can auto-rotate many features in KipwareM® with just a single input ... that means engraving at any angle and tons more !!
• August : We released a completely redesigned and enhanced version of our KipwareT® - Conversational CNC Programming Software for Turning. With the success of the NEW KipwareM® ... we worked hard to incorporate all the new features and user interface from KipwareM® into the new KipwareT®. This insured that both applications would have the same look and feel for ease of learning ... and to insure KipwareT® would also be just as powerful.
• September : We went through and updated our complete video library accessed through our Youtube channel ... KTSoftware ... as well as through our website to make all our video presentations up to date. We also updated our Training Videos to bring all of them up-to-date as well.
• October : We released a new and enhanced version of our Kipware® CNC XChange - Fanuc <--> Okuma Conversion Software with tons of new features and a new and enhanced user interface. Since 1986, Kentech Inc. has been a pioneer and a leader in G code conversion software ... and our new release of Kipware® CNC XChange insures that that will continue long into the future.
• November : We created the Kipware® News and User Group to enable our clients to interact with other Kipware® users to get answers to their questions ... make comments ... suggest enhancements ... and to plain old have a central location for all things Kipware®.
• December : To assist with the "fiscal cliff" and the downturn in manufacturing in general ... we instituted a yearly Subscription Purchase option where clients can put quoting software ... cost estimating software ... cycletime estimating software ... conversational programming software for milling and turning with all the goodies ... in their shop for as little as $0.34 a day ... $125 a year !!

Now that's a year !!! 

To quote a famous phrase :

"BAM !!!! We really took it up a notch !!!"

So proud to write this post ... 

So proud of what we accomplished ... 

So proud of our developers / web designers ...

So proud to ask YOU .... With enhancements like this, shouldn't you become a member of the Kipware® family ?

It's not too late to make an IMPACT PURCHASE for 2012 ....

A purchase that will really have a positive impact on your bottom line ... on your shop floor ... A Kipware® Purchase !!
