CANTOR Software GmbH announces their successful completion of certification procedures
for CANTOR Professional Version 2008.1

“Certified for Windows Vista TM”

This new Windows Vista certification will now take place alongside certifications for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. CANTOR is now equipped for the newest Redmond Version, making them one of the first internationally operating companies to successfully fulfill the Quality and Reliability Standards as defined and listed on the Microsoft© website.

Originally entered into in December, 2006, the certification process was lengthier than anticipated, primarily due to the test procedure itself, which had been changed and altered a total of four times since its onset. These changes had made it most important for us to provide our customers with a Certificate Version of our software based on these latest Microsoft modifications, supporting the understanding we have with our clients that CANTOR software support the latest Microsoft technology as quickly as possible.

What is the great significance behind the Vista TM Certification? An immediately recognizable identification symbol, the “Certified for Windows Vista TM” logo attests to the compatibility of CANTOR software applications with this operating system, all of which, during the certification phase, have undergone rigid testing procedures conducted on computers operating with the Windows Vista TM system. CANTOR’s compliance with technical requirements has been tested in four main areas: reliability, security, compatibility with the Windows Vista TM and subsequent operating systems, as well as smooth, trouble-free installation and de-installation of the software. According to VERITEST, software applications complying with the “Windows Vista TM” certification criteria provide a high level of user-friendliness and, as such, are among the most modern, competitive products on the market.

Windows Vista TM offers an abundance of modified safety mechanisms for the programs being installed. All programs not yet certified for Windows Vista will remain functional during a transitional period. It is expected, however, that the new Microsoft security mechanisms will be increasingly activated with subsequent versions and updates. This could lead to extensive difficulties with programs that have not yet been certified. In a “worst case” situation, these programs would be rendered non-functional. This is the reason that so much effort has been placed on obtaining certification for the CANTOR Professional software as quickly as possible.

With this certification, Microsoft© has attested the CANTOR Professional Version 2008.1 has excellent security, durability, and resource-conserving attributes, all qualities are of central importance with respect to smooth production flow and the avoidance of downtime.

As a Microsoft © GOLD CERTIFIED Partner of long standing, we will continue to provide our customers the assurance that CANTOR software products always comply with the latest standards in technology.

If you are thinking of having a makeover for your home, office, apartment or retail shop, you should pay attention to the following advice.

The condition of the structure (floor, walls, ceiling) or the ‘bones of the house’ are the most important thing to consider before start asking for colour swatches for the walls or samples for the floor finish.

Just think about this: no colour is going to look good if there’s dampness showing through the walls or lumps and cracks showing through the floor. All these ‘little problems’ will give you more than a chronic headache: they will lower the value of your property as well.

So here are the easy steps you should follow: check the plumbing and the electrical; make sure you don’t do any modifications to load-bearing walls (or one hauling plumbing pipes, electrical conducts or gas).You may have already considered all this, but what about the floor finish? Where to start? Is it possible to get rid of the old terracotta tiles? If you want to completely change the floor finish and go for an eco-friendly option, you should choose Pandomo. No matter if you already have tiles, timber, old slabs or magnesite floors; Concrete Artisans provides a pre-levelling system that allows the successive installation of Pandomo. The result: no lumps, no cracks, just a perfectly flat and natural smooth floor finish.

Ardex Pandomo is a natural white self-leveling cement produced by Ardex in Germany and recently brought to Australia. It complies with the requirements of the Green Council of Australia for Low VOC Content Compound. Plus Concrete Artisans Pty Ltd carries on a dust free and environmentally friendly installation (for more details go to www.concreteartisans.com.au).

Pandomo is the floor you always wanted:

-the right colour for you

-natural look

-unique design

-durable (guaranteed to match the building’s durability)

-eco-friendly

-inexpensive.

Pandomo is available from accredited Ardex Contractors only to ensure the installation process meets the highest building and construction standards.
