The release of the NIPO Fieldwork System 1.10 Update is a fact. In this version we solved a number of issues that were important to our customers. In addition, we implemented a couple of fixes to improve the system stability and we implemented some new features. We are pleased to present this update to all our NFS customers via our special Customers Section.
Customers can find the updates under Customers (username + password required), Upgrades and manuals, Product: NIPO Fieldwork System for CATI/Web Interviewing and NIPO Odin Developer.

Be sure to take all the necessary steps for a proper installation. Within a month we will offer this release with an installer for easier installation.
As a result of our close and continuous dialogue with many of our customers, they indicated that another release of NFS with new functionality, is at this moment of higher importance than full focus on Nfield development. NIPO Software handles accordingly. In September 2009 all our CATI and CAWI customers will receive the NFS 1.11 release in which major new functionality will be added to the FMS and the Manager. In the meantime we are convinced that working with this NFS 1.10 Update will become a better and more enjoyable experience that will improve the performance of our customers operations.
