Enstore Development

Enstore weekly - Week 3 & 4

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:48:12 +0100

We put the last hand to migrating to a new storage system. During a short downtime we’ve moved the last data into the new database and we’re now happily running off of the new system. You should not notice any differences between the old and the new system, but if you do please let us know.

This was all part of our grand plan to going out of beta and we’re thrilled to being one step closer!

Maintenance rescheduled

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:53:50 +0100

Please note: Enstore maintenance has been rescheduled and your web store will be down for several hours Wednesday, January 25th (1:00 am to 6:00 am EST). During that time we’ll be migrating to a fancy new storage system with the goal of better reliability and less downtime (planned or unplanned). We have big plans for 2012.

We appreciate your patience, The Enstore Team

Enstore and NYC

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:00:59 +0200

At the end of the day, I’m quite certain you’re more interested in selling your wares from an elegant, easy-to-use web store than any corporate maneuvers behind the scenes. Still, the two are connected. Enstore has new parents. Acclivity NYC is a newly formed satellite of Acclivity (makers of AccountEdge) dedicated to Enstore and Checkout development. We’ve retained Klaas Pieter as Enstore’s lead developer and we are excited to aggressively push forward (did we mention we’re hiring?).

Above all, it’s our plan to be honest and transparent in communicating with you. Klaas Pieter will be frequently posting plans, updates and enhancements from the team. We’ll also be asking your opinions. We guarantee we won’t make everyone happy, but we guarantee we’ll try.

 We expect to move Enstore out of beta shortly, at which point we’ll support you from our New Jersey support center. The forums will be monitored, email response times will be fast and, if you want to call, you’ll find a friendly voice on the other end.

We realize your webstore is a vital bridge in your relationship with your customers and we appreciate the opportunity to be your partner.
