All of the functions are completely seamless and require no manual intervention by the Management Company's staff.

Mike Bates from IRES will present the current product roadmap, with a detailed update on what is coming out in Service Pack 5 for version 4.0, to be released in Spring 2010. In addition, Mike will review where IRES is at with the new version 5.0, what modules have been released and what is coming out in the near future, including a discussion on the plans for CM, Job Cost and new projects.
