Happy New Year! 

With the December Submit-a-Plan application numbers finally in we can now reveal that during the last year the number of applications being submitted through Submit-a-Plan once again continued to rise significantly, with more applications submitted in 2016 than in 2015, and the year before that, and the year before that, I’m sure you get the picture! Hurrah and congratulations to you all! :) 

We hope 2017 has kicked off to a good start for you and you have some interesting challenges to look forward to in the coming months. We have some new building control projects set to be released to DSLive this year which we are very excited about and hope will become invaluable tools used by authorities on a daily basis within their departments. You can find out more about those here - Coming to DSLive in 2017>

You'll also find that for a limited time we've added PlanShare and DSLive Inspections tabs to your DSLive menu. Why is this? We simply thought that you may wish to take a tour of the solutions yourselves, so why not have a look around and see what you think. To share a folder using PlanShare you will need to open an application to its documents tab and create a new folder. Drag and drop documents into it then right-click and select share to enter an email address. For a demo on how to do this, visit our PlanShare demo page>

As always if you have any questions about SAP or DSLive we're here for a chat or we can provide demo's of any of our products at your offices or online over the phone, just ask. Meanwhile you can download brochures or articles from our DSLive Help Hub>

We'd also like to take this moment to thank all of our subscribing authorities for their continued custom and support.

Good luck to all in 2017.

Remember you can post your building control vacancies for free during 2017 on our local authority Jobs Board>
