Hi Everyone,

We are receiving ~10 emails per day asking about the status of Oempro4 development. So, I decided to post a quick status update about Oempro4. Development is going pretty good. With the advantage of being used in a real life situation at Sendloop.com, Oempro4 is going to be one of the best application for;

• running an email marketing service just like Sendloop.com, ConstantContact.com, etc.
• sending email newsletters and tracking results for customers
• sending your own email newsletters and running professional email marketing campaigns

With the release of Oempro4, there will be slight changes in plug-in family of Oempro. OemBilling plug-in is going to be discontinued because it is included as a built-in feature in Oempro4. Some other plug-ins will also be discontinued and provided as a built-in feature. We will post announcement about this topic in following weeks.

We are also going to change pricing of Oempro4. There will be two or three alternative pricing plans based on users defined on the system. The prices of support service, user packs and add-ons will be announced later as well. So, it’s the best time to purchase an Oempro license now and get a free upgrade once Oempro4 gets released.

In Oempro4, we are going to add some key features which do not exist in other solutions or cost you several $$$ to make it functional. We are going to start promoting them in following weeks as well.

Octeth is a leading email marketing solutions provider company since 1999 and we have a great experience in this field. We notice that most users try to run their email campaigns through shared hostings which cause them more problems than they guess. With the release of Oempro4, we will suggest our users to host Oempro4 on at least virtual private servers (VPS) or dedicated servers. We will also start providing consultancy service to make their servers ready for successful email marketing deliveries with the highest delivery rates. This service will cover mail server setup, web/MySQL server setup, etc.

Another requirement of Oempro4 is PHP5. Sorry for this but PHP5 is far away better and we need to get the benefits of PHP5 to make Oempro4 more flexible and stable.

Some features of Oempro4 are server (or environment) dependent. We will post a detailed announcement about Oempro4 requirements later,to give you an idea, sub-domain support (just like in Sendloop.com) will be available for Linux users. Windows users will not be able to get benefit of it.

We are coming to the end of the development phase of Oempro4. We have almost 120 beta testers waiting to test it in depth. We are doing our best to make Oempro4 available to the community but as always I say, it will not be released before it gets ready and approved through our beta testing phases.

Oempro4 is going to be the best solution for anyone who is interested in building and running a successful feature-rich email marketing service for their customers.

Thank you for your support.
