Products Supported
The marketplace offers a multitude of solutions for end-user needs. We have chosen the following network and application products to support our clients' accounting and office needs:
We
have been installing and supporting Novell® networking almost exclusively since
the first release in the mid-80s. While Microsoft Windows NT® has been making a
strong bid for Novell's network base, Novell is still our preferred server
operating system. Novell's latest NetWare® for Small Business release,
Version 6.5, is very affordable and is bundled with Groupwise® and
BorderManager®. Netware is reliable, stable, and efficient product for
the small to large user. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.novell.com/.

Novell Groupwise® 6.5 - a member of the Novell
N-terprise family of solutions - is a premier communication and collaboration
tool. It provides an effective and innovative approach to collaboration
services - an approach that delivers security, control and mobility, while
reducing the cost of managing and maintaining essential communication and
collaboration services.

Novell BorderManager® 3.8 includes premier
firewall and VPN technologies that safeguard your network and help you build a
secure identity management solution. With the powerful directory-integrated
features in BorderManager, you can monitor user' Internet access control and
supports numerous content-filtering solutions. These features protect your
network from undesirable Internet content, including programs that destroy or
steal data, games that waste user' time and Web pages that expose your company
to legal liability.
We
no longer support this product, but we would be happy to help you convert to
Passport Business Solutions.
Passport
Software, Inc.® started much like Peckinpaugh and Associates as a software
solution provider using RealWorld. In the mid-eighties this company ported
the RealWorld code to a different platform under agreements with
RealWorld. A few years ago, they chose AcuCOBOL as their platform and
converted their solution to this Windows compliant interface.
Passport
Business Solutions provides the same look, feel and functionality of RealWorld
in a Windows environment including mouse control, Windows printing capabilities,
and better pop-ups. But most importantly, the product will continue to be
improved and is supported. Since we will soon be licensed to use their
source code, we will be able to port and expand all of the specialized features
that we have developed for our customers over the past 20 years. For more
information visit their web site at http://www.pass-port.com/.
Microsoft®
provides us the tools for desktop management. Windows 95®, 98®, 98SE®, 2000®
Professional and Windows XP® Home & Professional allow the user to do more than just one task at a
time. And while there are several "Office Suites" on the market, we
have chosen Microsoft® Office to support principally because our clients prefer
Word and Excel over the competition. FoxPro®, a product of Microsoft®, has
long been our database solution for special applications development. Also we
have developed several solutions for clients using Microsoft® Access and
Microsoft® FrontPage®.

TeleMagic®
is still our choice for contact management solutions. The customization available with
this product exceeds that available in most contact management systems. The
product is written in Microsoft's FoxPro®, our chosen database solution. This
allows us the ability to interface TeleMagic® with custom applications.
TeleMagic® allows the user to completely customize specified fields and how
they are seen. This flexibility allows TeleMagic® to grow with your company so
that your company does not outgrow the very tools that helped achieve that
growth. TeleMagic® allows for easy integration with industry standard word
processors like Microsoft® Word, Corel® WordPerfect®, and Lotus® AmiPro®.
Faxing, e-mail, and other electronic communications capabilities as well as
phone and mail merge make it an excellent choice for maintaining connections
with customers, venders, and any others important to the success of your
company. Now sold by Best Software® and no longer being supported by them, we still think
it out classes others like Act® and Goldmine®.
