<div class="athenatitleshadow">To our valued AthenaRMS clients,<div class="athenatitle">To our valued AthenaRMS clients,</div></div>
<br />

As announced in October of 2002, Media Net Link is providing a series of upgrades to AthenaRMS in the coming months.<br /><br />

Our strategy as outlined  below remains as originally planned. We enhanced the user interface in version 4.1, made architectural changes to the software in v5.0, and are now starting to add new enhancements in version 5.1.<br /><br />

At this time, we are not soliciting input for enhancements to
versions 4.1 and 5.0, but you can submit bug reports for any
revision.<br /><br />

You may submit your ideas for enhancements to the 5.1+ revisions, or report any bugs by visiting:
<a href="http://athenarms.mnl.com/feedback">http://athenarms.mnl.com/feedback</a>.<br /><br />

We appreciate your insight in helping us to make AthenaRMS the best solution for your request management needs. <br /><br />

Sincerely,<br />The Athena Development Staff<br /><font class='textsm'>last updated July 25, 2003</font><br /><br /><br />
