News
Our main aim to keep our clients informed on developments, the news you find here is aimed at our clients, they are not press releases.
Our news is usually written late at night after an update, two of our staff are stupid dyslexia.so sometimes it will not be grammatically perfect.

Super Green...
As Ruby Rhod would say, we have gone "Super Green". We have upgraded to a SSL verified certificate. You can now at a glance see clearly YapCRM is a vetted British company, also did we mention it is green?
JVM Upgrade
We have updated the Adobe Coldfusion Servers to run a new version of Java for improved performance (10%+) and security.
We will be keeping an eye on the servers to make sure they do not have a panic attack.
Downtime Update
The reason for YapCRM Downtime yesterday has been isolated to a faulty hard drive in a RAID* array.
We took down Yap from 00:00 - 02:00 to resolve this issue.
As we run all Hard Drives in RAID* no data was lost, we will watch the server over the next week to ensure this was the only reason for the unexpected downtime yesterday.
*RAID is a method for hard drives to replicate each other live, so if one fails the data is not lost.
Unexpected Downtime
There was an unexpected downtime from 11:10-11:35 today, apologise for any disruption.
One of the Hyper-V servers froze and a hard reboot was required. We will investigate this further outside of office hours.
Happy New Year
Welcome 2012! We have made quite a few changes to welcome in the New Year.
We have increased the font size of the CRM and increased its width to improve layout and usability. Remember you can press "CTRL +" and "CTRL -" to zoom in and out if you wish to adjust the size of the CRM.
The search interface has been upgraded and improved and finally we have our new public site, which you can find here. Also we have introduced a free hardware upgrade which you can find more about here.
If you have any issues with the winter update please get in touch via the methods listed here.
Server Update Complete
Your free upgrade is complete, and between now and New Year we will be tweaking and testing to make sure everything is 100%. Should you have any issues please do not hesitate to drop us an email.
For geeks; we have upgraded to Dell Poweredge servers with Intel Xeon Quad-Core X3363 running Windows Datacenter 2008.
For normal people; they are jolly fast and will let us do more for you our clients.
We are now also able to offer dedicated cfm & mysql hosting of CRMs with Remote Desktop access for client peace of mind.
