As of January 31st, old faithful, ARIS has been shut down and the new "CTMLXchange" has become our primary mls system. Well guys, what do you think? The feedback I'm getting is overall good. Especially after you have taken the class. But that was the hype I'm guessing here. There has been a few items pointed out to me that currently do make sense as far as some of the function of the system goes. For instance, and to let you know I haven't tried this myself yet, I've been told by a reliable techie in our office that the remark section is way too short compared to what we are use to. In order to get get more in we have to use another page which can not attach to the original print out and has to be merged manually by you in the office or sent as two separate emails as two separate files. This may not seem like alot of work but, when you are counting keystrokes in our busy world every extra nuisance counts. Other issues are to be expected. The program is huge and I believe after some time we will all grow to love it. It's versatility and extremely far reach will make our business flourish. I feel it has already started to do that within its first 30 days of use. The customized templates will "level the playing field" so to speak, as every sized company has access to the same materials and level of visual professionalism. Personally, although I too have given in to the uncomfortable feelings of change, have to say that this system is great and I am very excited about it. I hope you will all grasp it, embrace it like your long lost puppy and make it your own. Please email me your comments, experiences and success stories with the new program as feedback is what makes the world go round. Its all good. Have a wonderful day !
