Appintec announces availability of MSWord Interface for TeleMagic/400 users; contact/activity management software expands wordprocessing capabilities.

Emeryville, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 1995--Appintec Corp., a leading developer of contact/activity management software Monday announced the availability of an MSWord Interface for TeleMagic/400 users.

The introduction of the MSWord Interface provides users with a seamless integration to full-function wordprocessing, document preparation, filing and retrievals. The interface allows TeleMagic/400 users to broaden their functional areas with a single keystroke from TeleMagic/400's wordprocessing menu to MSWord as well as the IBM's OfficeVision/400 (OV/400) wordprocessing.

"Appintec has chosen to expand its wordprocessing capabilities based on user requests and the reputation MSWord has as a reliable and flexible application," said Marty Patton Volz, director of Implementation Services for Appintec Corp. "Expanded TeleMagic/400's capabilities to MSWord not only broadens its capabilities but ensures that all Appintec customers have the ability to communicate easily with their contacts and to utilize the TeleMagic/400 contact/activity management software in a comprehensive environment."

TeleMagic/400 has the built-in ability to interface with many software systems on the AS/400 through the use of "User Exits" and additional data transfer capabilities of the AS/400. The availability of the seamless interface between TeleMagic/400 and MSWord will broaden Appentec customers' wordprocessing capabilities.

TeleMagic/400 users can create and store standard shell letters that can be used by any users on the system. At a single keystroke a user can create sales or support letters, price quotes, generate proposals and all other documentation required in maintaining close contact with prospects and customers. The integration is so flexible that follow-up correspondence can automatically be generated while talking on the phone with a customer. MSWord users will also be able to create mass mailings by selecting within the customer database on TeleMagic/400 and merge the information into a standard letter in MSWord.

Now users of MSWord can access the standard TeleMagic/400 electronic document management function which automatically centrally stores all documents created in MSWord by the company's primary ID on the TeleMagic/400 and creates a secondary ID for the recipient of the document. All documents created for a specific customer, no matter who creates the document, are stored in a single folder and can be viewed and/or printed at a single keystroke. A standard AS/400 folder/document security is available to control that only authorized users view or change customer or standard shell documents.

Existing licensed customers of TeleMagic/400 can request the MSWord Interface at no charge by contacting their Appintec representative. An additional support fee will be required for customers requiring installation services for the MSWord Interface.
