Databases – How We Love to Hate Them!Written by Cavyl Stewart

Even if you use packaged customer relationship management software at your business – products like Goldmine, ACT!, Epiphany and others – you still can use DataPipe. DataPipe uses basic search and replace functions to tweak text that is stored in your databases. Whether you know exactly text you want modified, want to modify text that sounds like something specific, want to search for wildcards or particular patterns, or want to use fuzzy logic to help find typos, your data will benefit when you use DataPipe. And best of all, you won’t have to contact your programmer and negotiate a costly change order when you need to use a different format for your date fields, or when you need to swap order of last and first names. But you can if this is what you need. You or your programmer can create custom filters using industry standard scripting languages. DataPipe requires Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or 2003, a hard disk with 15 MB free disk space and 64 MB RAM. It also requires SQL Server, Access, Informix, Sybase, DB2, Oracle, MySQL, DBF, FoxPro, FileMaker Pro, Excel Spreadsheets or any OLE DB/ODBC compliant database. Isn’t it time your data look and feel more consistent, more professional, and perhaps even more impressive? When you run a business, you need all help you can get. And in today’s competitive business climate, first impressions make biggest impression. And unfortunately, sometimes first impressions are key “make or break” determining factor. So make sure your first impressions count.

Then along comes anagram, an intelligent analysis tool that scans information sent electronically and translates it into your Outlook or Palm Desktop automatically, with minimal assistance from you. And anagram can analyze more than just contact information. Meeting information, signature lines, driving directions, to-do lists, other types of lists, and more are instantaneously converted into memos, appointments, contacts and tasks. It’s no longer necessary to print out information and hope you remember to take it with you on your next trip. Also use anagram to collaborate your company’s Intranet using Quicklink feature. It’s a great way to increase efficiency in your workplace. There’s really nothing to learn to use Anagram. This product does all work. Simply highlight text from a web site or an email message, click on a shortcut, and anagram does its best to analyze and convert highlighted text into appropriate section of Outlook or Palm Desktop. You need to approve its analysis first, and that really is all that is involved. When process is complete, anagram reverts to background, where it awaits your next command. For under $20 US, that’s one assistant you can’t afford not to hire! The makers are so confident you’ll love this product that you can download a trail version and use it for 45 days before you have to pay for it! You’ve really got nothing to lose. Additional copies are a fraction of cost, so you can buy a copy for everyone in your office. It runs on Windows™ 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME or XP and Microsoft Outlook® version 97 – 2003 or Palm™ Desktop 3.0 or later.
