Bold responds and joins software webinars
****************************
Ken, 
          A few of Bold Group’s customers have shared feedback with you about our new business management software, Managely. While I’d love to see every public comment about Bold Group be positive, I know that feedback from customers whose experience does not meet their expectations is just as valuable and an opportunity for us to learn and improve. I appreciate that your website and email newsletter provide a forum where people in the alarm industry can ask questions and share candid feedback. 
          We take customer concerns about our software and services very seriously and, as such, we reached out directly to the customers who shared feedback with you about our Managely software. We felt it was most urgent to address their concerns directly in a 1:1 manner to help solve the immediate problem and find the right solution for each customer need.
          A large part of why Bold Group has been successful over four decades is this customer-first approach and our focus on finding solutions.  
          Bold Group is committed to evolving our software to meet customer needs and driving innovation within the industry and our products and services. We took customers’ feedback and built Managely on a modern tech stack to meet their expectations of what modern business management software should be. Its business intelligence, reporting and RMR capabilities, ecosystem of partner integrations, and open API architecture make it robust and flexible. Many security organizations are successfully using Managely every day to manage their accounting, work orders, recurring billing, inventory, customer relationship management, and other business operations.  
          We always want to hear from our customers about their experience with our software and services: this is how we understand changing needs and pain points. I encourage any of your readers who have additional questions or want to talk in more detail about Managely to join our upcoming webinar with you on October 6, 2023 or reach out directly to me at any time. 
  Regards, 
Alison Forsythe, President
Bold Group

          The software webinars start October 3, 2023; the schedule is below.  Be sure to register now and set aside time for these valuable presentations.  Before all the comments on software recently started I would have suggested that selecting your central station might be the most important decision you have to make [right after selecting your attorney] but clearly the software you select to run and manage your business is just, if not more, important.  Software that doesn’t work as expected, or maybe you just can’t figure it out, is frustrating and poor customer service only makes it worse.  Listen to the webinars and pay particular attention to software vendors who offer live support, and that doesn’t mean chat. 
          All the software vendors expect to face tough questions at the webinars; don’t disappoint them.

Central Stations series: Why You Should Be Monitored By Our CS
Hear from the leading central stations and “Why you should be monitored by” that central station.  The topic of remote operator monitoring from outside the central station facility and the dynamics that issue presents is sure to come up.  The question you need to be asking is why isn’t your central station participating and why are you still using your central station if it’s not participating?
