And the Oscar goes too!!!

Well it's not me and that's for sure.....

If you have somehow missed my video countdown to the launch of the new Kagazz App and Portal then this is the shameless plug for you....

I have been appearing in pixel form on any and all social and or business media that I can this week to get the message out there about or revamp of the Kagazz system, and actually whilst a little embarrassing wandering about, being excited whilst talking into my phone on a selfie stick its actually been rather good fun.

Unfortunately however I have notice in at least one of the videos, I do look a little like a bus driver (see inset) not that this is a problem, its a very noble trade and it was 4:30 in the morning at a wet and windy Norwich Station when I recorded and posted the video so I was never going to be looking my absolute best.

The addition of some high resolution intros and outros (I think that's a word) I had made, that help to make the clips more eye catching and professional and I hope help to detract from the presenting.

But the team are loving them and taking the mickey out of me and my "model" like appearance seems to be the order of the day int he virtual office, all in the best possible taste obviously and all taken in good spirits and that how this team really operates, its great that in such a high pressure environment to deliver to a deadline that the team still finds time to have a laugh, even if its at my expense.

But to move on, things in the development world of Kagazz have gone really well and the changes are working like a dream. Speed to complete transactions on the App are really good and we can now process 10 receipts in seconds with all the data flowing beautifully into the back end. we have improved the user interface in the portal and now its much smoother and slick both to look at and to use.

We only have a few days left so I think there is at least another 2 or 3 countdown videos to come, and if you haven't seen them yet then keep an eye out. unfortunately LinkedIn does not allow the upload of videos so I cannot add them here but have created a link to if you are interested in terrible reporting in the early hours of the day Click Here please be kind :D

As if the changes to the App, Portal and our Support Portal were not enough, we also decided only last week that the website needed a revamp and that to is looking great, again fresh and straight to the point with clear and easy access to register and branded along with the other elements to ensure continuity throughout all.

So the 21st Jan is the day of the launch, the team will be busy applying new code and testing production and readying for a period of system migration and stability and maybe once we have that a few well deserved days off (nudge, nudge, Shar, didnt you mention Vegas?? :) before we start venturing down some really new and exciting research and development in the Dev team and Ops and Sales start pushing the new system so look out for a call or email maybe.

Keep and eye out during the rest of the week for more videos and next weekend for the new product hitting the Apple and Android stores and don't forget you can follow the team on Twitter search:
