Work with your sales rep; he or she should be able to set up a Web-based presentation for you. Ours has offered to, but we've held off so far. Also, we were told that Beta testing will begin soon, so you may want to ask your rep if you can participate.

Where were you able to see the demonstration? That would certainly help. Are they conducting any web-based presentations (similar to the way they offer training), that you know of? Thanks for the feedback.
