An new face to the Cacidi web site

After more than 10 years with, more or less, the same basic home page we are now proud to show you the face of Cacidi Systems.

We are not just wanted have a new look and feel but also expand the possibility of the site, to be more service minded. First of all we are looking for a new way of communicate both technical stuff about new versions and also the easy small daily info, how to use our product.

10 years ago, there were no YouTube, no Blogs and no Twitter. With the new site we will use all above channels to give you more and better infomation.

Of course new versions should be available as fast as always, but we will also give you a more precise info what has changed.

Tell us what you think.. we can’t wait to hear your respond!
