LENEXA, KANSAS (MMD Newswire) March 26, 2009 -- AGES-online has just released a new and improved GEDCOM import process. It provides a state of the art status, greatly enhanced performance and increased abilities on extra large files.

The new GEDCOM (GEnealogical Data COMmunication) process provides a real-time status with record counts and percent complete. The performance has been greatly enhanced by at least twofold. Large files of five megabytes or greater are uploaded and processed in the background with a status message informing the customer and freeing them to continue working on the site in any way imaginable. The customer is informed via e-mail of the import completion.

"I was once told, ‘If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' My response is that if it's not perfect, it's broken," said Ken Aubuchon, Chief Executive Officer. "We are always striving to improve our service in any way possible whether it's performance or enhanced capabilities."

The real-time status is what makes this new process stand out. As the file is processed, an ongoing count of records in the file is presented, and then a real-time percent complete status is provided as the file loads into the database.

"Providing real-time status on the internet is not as easy as it may sound," said Ken Aubuchon. "You must balance system performance with status messaging as well as overcome the less than adequate internet technologies. We have reached that balance with this new process."
