Why Windows?

Most people agree that Windows is the operating system of choice. Windows software dominates in every software market: spreadsheets, word processing, database, graphics, Internet, communications, accounting, income tax, etc. Here is why:

Perception. Windows software is perceived by most people as "new," "high tech," and "powerful." DOS software, no matter how good, is often perceived as "old," and "obsolete." What kind of image does your current software project to customers? We agree with Tom Peters, who said in his classic work, In Search of Excellence, "Perception is everything."

Quality Output. ImagiSOFT's Windows software will make your illustrations sizzle with color graphics. Proportional fonts and bold, italic, and underline type styles will make your proposals easier to read. Your agents will sell more insurance with professional, believable proposals.

Printed Applications. ImagiSOFT's software can print life insurance / annuity applications on the agent's printer. The advantages of this technology are obvious:

Agents will no longer be able to submit incomplete, illegible, or unapproved applications.
Your company will save money on mailing and printing forms.
Agents will save time since most of the information needed for the application is already entered into the computer.
Computer forms make a smooth transition to "filling out the paperwork" when closing the sale.

All Printers Supported. Windows will eliminate printer support problems, and will attract agents who want to get the most out of their hardware investment.

Multitasking. Windows lets your computer to do more than one thing at a time, such as print in the background while the agent is inputting proposal data.

Task Switching. As the name implies, Windows will increase productivity by allowing agents switch from one application to another. For example, suppose a customer telephones while an agent is running the illustration software. The agent can "minimize" the illustration software and "switch" into his database with two clicks of the mouse. Agents can also "switch" from one illustration to another so that they can compare values without printing.

Graphics. Graphical User Interfaces have been standard for more than ten years because they offer much more flexibility in screen design, offer a wider variety of fonts, are easier on the eyes.

Faster Calculations. C++ for Windows takes advantage of the math coprocessor if one is present. Because of this, our Windows software calculates more than twice as fast as our DOS software does on the same computer.

Standard User Interface. Learning how to run a new Windows application is easy once an agent has learned how to run the first one. This is because Microsoft has set standard commands and keystrokes for similar functions across all Windows applications. Anyone who is familiar with Word for Windows, or any other advanced Windows software will be able run our software with little or no training.

Microsoft is 100% behind Windows. All the new technology is directed toward developing applications in Windows, whereas there is no new tools for DOS applications. Microsoft spent billions of dollars to make Windows the most popular operating system in the world. Apple, with all its creativity and drive could not compete with them, nor could IBM with OS/2.
