    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Henniker, New Hampshire, March 1, 2012

    Retrieve Technologies, headquartered in Henniker, New Hampshire today announced the rebranding of their products formerly known as cloudDVDs. Effective immediately, cloudDVDs are rebranded as "rGuides". As the basic block of the Retrieve products the new designation will carry up the line. "vUnits" are now "rUnits" , the "cloudDVD Store" is now the "rGuide Store" and the "Digital Library" is now the "rGuide Library".

    President and CEO David Arnold explained the change; "the names we replaced were created for the first-line products released six years ago and are appropriate for those products. However, the latest line of Retrieve products no longer resembles their predecessors. We found the original names to be too confusing to our clients and potential clients. Our product is essentially a guide and, as it is so unique in the marketplace, we decided it should bear the company name, hence the "r". Very simply, our products are guides – rGuides - to a myriad of subjects. We are just getting started!"

    Started as a learning management system for credit unions, Retrieve Technologies now includes the US Air Force, US Department of Agriculture, MIT and Autodesk among its key partners and clients.
    For more information, please contact us at sales@retrieve.com or (603) 428-8528.

    Retrieve Technologies would like to announce the latest release of the rGuide Library Apps for both Android and Apple (iOS) mobile devices. This new app allows rGuide users to easily access their rGuide Library, and all of the high-quality rGuide content in it, from their Android phone/tablet, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, and Apple iPod Touch. With this release, rGuides have become the true “go anywhere” training and certification platform. rGuides can now be utilized on the job no matter where your office may be. This is especially advantageous to those users who find themselves out in the field frequently or not always in front of a computer. Just select the rGuide Library app on your mobile device and start watching rGuides instantly.

    We hope that this is something everyone takes advantage of as it really opens up the possibilities of use for rGuides.

    The app can be found in both the Android Market and the Apple iTunes Store and is completely free to download. Below is all the information you will need to download the app and start viewing rGuides on your mobile device.

    Android App
    In the Android Market search “Retrieve Digital Library” or follow this direct link: Retrieve rGuide Library App for Android

    Apple App
    In the iTunes Store search “Retrieve Digital Library” or follow this direct link: Retrieve rGuide Library App for Apple

    All of this new functionality comes with the release of version 6.2 of the rGuide environment. Also included with this release are two other improvements we would like to highlight. The first is that we are now utilizing a multi-node server infrastructure. This means that users are getting rGuide content from a server that is closer to them, no matter where they are located. With the server being closer everything in the rGuide environment is faster, including the streaming of video. The second improvement is the use of adaptive bandwidth detection. This allows for faster, smoother playback of video in rGuides and also provides for some increased capabilities with the video player. Overall rGuides will be running faster and more efficient than before. As we like to say, rGuides have been super-charged.

    If you would like more information on any of these improvements please feel free to email us or give us a call at 603-428-8528. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Hello and welcome to the brand new website for Retrieve Technologies and all things rGuide! Thank you for taking the time to check us out. We decided it was time to change things up and add a much more modern feel to the website. So, how did we do? If you haven't already figured it out yet, you have stumbled upon the blog. Or maybe you were looking for it, just to see what sort of literary talent is employed at a software company. Either way, you found it and we would like to welcome you to one of the brand new aspects of the Retrieve website.

    This being the first blog post we thought it would be a good idea to lay out what you might find in this section. Our hope is to use this section to keep you up-to-date on everything that is going on here at Retrieve Technologies. This may include information on software updates, recent rGuide releases, author profiles, case studies, tricks and tips, user guides, or anything else we think might be important to share with you. The nice thing about the blog is that we can quickly get important information out to you in a relaxed format. It is a great opportunity to have another point of contact with everyone that we do business with. Whether you are a customer, reseller, author, or any where in-between, you can always stay tuned in with Retrieve Technologies right here at the blog.

    The plan is for us to keep things interesting in this section of the website. There is no reason for people to read if we are not providing you with information and a laugh here and there. Thanks for taking the time to read through our first post. We really look forward to bringing you more in the future! Don't forget to take the rest of the new website for a spin when you get a chance. Just a spin though, high-speed joy rides tend to be frowned upon.
