Everyone needs a makeover from time to time. Sometimes we need more than a little one: sometimes an entire overhaul is in order. So it is with RSR’s website. And on May 11, we’ll be unveiling our new edition, the third in our company’s history.

A snapshot of our website above the fold is below.

Some of you have already been asked to beta test the site, and hopefully you’re pounding away on it. The rest of you will see it when we do the cut-over.

A few new features:

• No need to login every time you want to access a report. Once you log in, you’ll stay logged in on that computer for a while — I think it’s a month.
• Comments! Yes, at long last you’ll be able to comment on weekly newsletter items like this. We’ll be moderating the comments — spam runs rampant — but at least they’ll be there.
• Better security. Our existing website was hacked once. Once was too much for us, so we looked for a tool that can be more easily and frequently updated for security flaws. We believe we’ve found it.
• Easier to find research. Below the fold, you’ll see research categories and will easily be able to find newsletter articles, business value calculators, benchmark research and our new Center Stage series related to the topics you’re looking for. Take a look! 

We’ve brought over all research and articles from our current site, and all links should work as they did before. In fact, it was quite an exercise for us, when we brought it over (from 2011 forward). We realized that as fast as we think the industry is changing, we’ve been talking about the same issues for 5 years!

This website has been in the making for quite some time. We’re excited to see it coming, and hope you enjoy it. Of course, if you see something wrong, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
