Toronto, ON, March 14, 2005 ¨C Avenza Systems Inc., producer of MAPublisher cartographic software, is pleased to announce that the new MAPublisher online knowledge base is now active on the Avenza website.
The MAPublisher Knowledge Base is an initiative of Avenza and Dutch reseller, eXQte, who started the compilation and construction of the knowledge base in 2003. The goal was to create a central location where relevant information on MAPublisher can be gathered and stored in a format that users can query and search over the Internet. A knowledge base like this offers numerous advantages to resellers and users alike:
Better support. By combining all knowledge on MAPublisher, we can create a collection that contains more information than any one user or reseller knows.
Better access to the articles by presenting them all in a uniform way, with the option to search through them.
Everyone can contribute to the knowledge base. If you think of something that can be added, submit it! All submissions are reviewed to determine their suitability and whether they can be used to enhance an existing article or should be made into a new one.
"We frequently find that users of MAPublisher are asking the same questions over and over again and we think that this online system will provide users with the tools and information necessary to answer their questions as quickly and easily as possible." said Ted Florence, president of Avenza Systems Inc. "And furthermore, the online knowledge base never sleeps so users all over the world can access it regardless of their time zone and Avenza's technical support hours of operation.," he added.
The MAPublisher Knowledge Base can be accessed at http://www.avenza.com/mapublisher_kb/ or by clicking on the appropriate link on the main Avenza web page.
All MAPublisher users and resellers are invited to contribute articles for inclusion in the knowledge base by sending them to support@avenza.com with the subject line "MAPublisher Knowledge Base Submission".
