Last year, we started using a public wish list for feature requests for our software. In that time, 188 users have voted on 128 ideas. We have finished 24 of those ideas and included them in our software.

We have continued to post MEP Ninja comics over the last month. Go take a look if you have not seen the new ones. You can subscribe to be sent a weekly email when one is posted at the bottom of the page.
Do you have an idea for a ninja story line? Guest contributions are welcome! Share your ideas and we will work them into future comics.
Our customer story for October is Webb Engineering, an MEP engineering design firm based in Mebane, NC.
