One change given prominence in the official announcement was the debut of Traverse Design Studio, a tool that enables users to add customer fields, change the layout of the user interface and create customer forms. Design changes made by using these tools are preserved when service packs and updates are issued. This month, Open Systems also did something it hasn't done in years - issue a press release announcing the addition of a reseller. The new partner, DBM Computer Consulting of Corvallis, Wash., continues to carry Sage Pro, as part of the lineup it had before it added Traverse.
