  • Windows Charters, Audit Compliance and Shifts & Rosters Users

    We shall cease supporting Windows Charters and Windows Audit Compliance after 31/12/2014 & Windows Shifts and Rosters after 30/06/2015.

  • MS SQL 2012 WARNING
  • The following information is important to all Windows Dataspeed users, running MS SQL Server.
  • We have recently discovered that MS SQL 2012 is NOT compatible with the current version of Dataspeed Windows software. There are a large number of triggers in the database and VB codes in our programs which, with the MS SQL 2012 Engine, are no longer compatible.
  • We therefore strongly advise against updating your MS SQL server to 2012 or you will experience errors (and the program will not work properly). If you do wish to upgrade to 2012, you will need to contact tiger@primeworks.com.au for a quote to have your database and program(s) updated BEFORE you upgrade your server.
  • Please note, we will not be making any program changes to the Windows SSTS or Windows Bus Maintenance (as these programs are no longer supported by PrimeWorks) and from June next year, Windows Payroll, Windows Charters and Windows Audit Compliance.
  • Windows Payroll and Bus Maintenance Users
  • PRIMEWORKS® will officially cease supporting the DATASPEED® Windows Bus Maintenance AND Payroll systems after June 30, 2014. There will be NO programming changes to the Windows code for these 2 modules once they are both Commercially Released (later this year) and no software support will be provided by PRIMEWORKS® after June 30, 2014.
  • The PRIMEWORKS® .NET Vehicle Maintenance system is in BETA release, currently trialled by a number of our Foundation clients – who will be going live this month with it. If you would like a quote for this product, please email tiger@primeworks.com.au. The PRIMEWORKS® .NET Payroll system is approximately ½ way through the coding, and we are targeting a BETA release for late September-early October. Please note, any changes for the 2013-2014 Payment Summaries (which will be released by the ATO in April-May next year) will be made in the .NET system only.

  • SSTS News
  • As you would be aware, PRIMEWORKS® will officially cease supporting the DATASPEED® Windows SSTS system after June 30, 2013. This means that there will be NO programming changes made to the Windows code from July 1, 2013, and no software support will be provided by PRIMEWORKS® .


    The PRIMEWORKS® .NET SSTS system has been commercially available for a while now and we have given operators ample time and opportunity to convert to the new platform. If you would like a quote for the new .NET system, please email tiger@primeworks.com.au


    The PRIMEWORKS® .NET Vehicle Maintenance system is close to its BETA release, and we envisage this system will be commercially available in August/September. We therefore will be ceasing support for the Windows Bus Maintenance program midway through next year.


    As from July 1, 2013 the hourly rate for Windows DATASPEED® programming and consulting will increase to $200 per hour, plus GST for clients on valid software maintenance contracts (double for those not with a maintenance contract with PrimeWorks). PRIMEWORKS® subscription clients will be eligible for discounted hourly rate, in goodwill for their ongoing support for our venture.
