The President's Column

Summertime and the livin' [should be] easy. But we're keeping busy here at SAFE and also at my other company, Zeidman Consulting. In fact, ZC is the largest customer of SAFE and as much as that works out well, it also limits SAFE's business. ZC has limited resources (time, people, etc.) and can be conflicted out of software IP cases. That's why we want to train you to use CodeSuite effectively and take on some of these consulting jobs. We're putting together another 1-day training class on July 24 (see below for course details and you need to register by July 10). Anyone who passes the class will be recommended to our customers (we already have at least two potential customers that Zeidman Consulting can't serve due to conflicts). The cost is $1,000 and includes lunch. You can apply that fee to a CodeSuite license purchase any time for a year. We're charging fees to make sure that we're only getting people who are really interested and willing to invest the effort
