SSN/SIN Encryption
In the January 2010 Service Pack, we released encryption for SSN (SIN in Canada) within the Andar database. This is automatic and customers should not notice any difference in functionality except that custom applications or third party reports will no longer be able to access this information. This new feature was sponsored by UPIC Solution.

Credit Card Numbers
In the May Service Pack we introduced a new System Preference under "Finance General / Credit Cards/ACH" called "Always mask the credit card and ACH number on screen displays and reports." The numbers will be masked regardless of the authority given to users. For staff with authority to see the card numbers, they will only see the last four digits, for example "*********1234". The United Way of Greater Rochester (NY) sponsored this enhancement.

Andar/Lite
We have recently completed the migration of the last of our Andar/Lite customers to the full Andar/360 version. We have now officially retired Andar/Lite.


Contact Us
Just about every web site out there has a "contact us" page where visitors can post questions, send e-mails, or just get telephone numbers or addresses. Unfortunately, most organizations rarely test their systems or staff have changed and e-mails go nowhere. Given that many campaigns are about to get started, this may be a good time to take a few minutes and test your contact us web page to make sure it still works and the right people respond to requests.

Yes, this is a small thing but it's an important part of your CRM strategy (or it should be) and 80% of organizations fail this very simple test.

Our customers say...

“I have to admit that I was very worried about the conversion from Rainbow but Helix made it seem a lot less stressful. The process went very smooth and to top it off we were ready to go live on our goal date.”
