Soon you will no longer need to manually install routine ProDoc updates. Instead, every time you open ProDoc, and if you are connected to the Internet, ProDoc will “phone home”. It will then download and install any updates we have prepared for you. We expect that after you set up your account for WebUpdate™, you'll only need to manually install a ProDoc update when we make major changes to the ProDoc operating system. Another benefit to you is that we will be able to provide you some updates more quickly. For instance, we add user-requested enhancements to forms throughout the year. In the past, we waited until the next update shipment to provide them to you. With WebUpdate, you will receive them as quickly as we are able to process the changes into our system. We’ll roll out this feature slowly. This enables us to give you more personal service if/when you have questions about the switch-over.
