IBM Information Management Software Review
Despite the huge name, IBM has made for itself in regards to PCs; IBM information management software has hardly been a respected name in the PC software market with the exception of a few good programs such as Display-Write. Here you will find an IBM information management software review for their current effort to get more recognition in the software arena.
The IBM program 'Current' is a Windows-based product for organizing text and graphic-based data. This product hasn't been that popular because the user either found it difficult to use, difficult to understand or unnecessary.
In reviewing the IBM information management software it seems that IBM has taken steps to make 'Current' more user friendly. One change that has been added is the Windows graphical user interface. This makes 'Current' easier to use than products like Lotus Agenda. The left side of the screen is contains icons that point to the major functions such as address book, expenses, contacts and calendar.
In the IBM Information Management Software Review it has been found that 'Current' offers easy to use categories which include people, appointments, a to-do list, a projects list, a company list and even expenses. An application guide, which is included, shows the potential uses for 'Current' with examples of who to integrate it with other applications. The IBM Information Management Software also includes a user's guide, installation and learning guide, and a quick start and reference card in the documentation. All of this is well thought out and easy to understand so the IBM Information Management Software review thus far is good. One of the nicer features is its graphical approach. One example is when you click on the address book icon you get a graphic image of an address book including alphabet tabs. The IBM Information Management Software gives a calendar view that looks similar to 'DayTimer'. 'Current' also includes a basic word processor, an outliner, an auto dial function, and the capability to automatically assign items. There are many tasks that can be performed with the 'Current' 'IBM Information Management Software. You may track appointments, projects, lists, people and other desktop applications, you may create mail merged letters, import data from dBase, Ascii or DIF files, log any phone calls to assign to billing, and time your calls to calculate the billable minutes. The IBM Information Management Software review also show that with 'Current's' ability to handle graphic images, you can open graphic images in any format supported by Microsoft Windows. This outstanding feature greatly expands 'Current's' use in other applications. For example, an image can be attached to inventory items that show the product's name and inventory amounts, or a realtor could keep pictures of houses they have listed and maps with 'Current'. Also the IBM Information Management Software review reveals tat 'Current' installs easily, and includes a runtime version of Microsoft Windows. Any PC or PS/2 that is Windows based can support 'Current' but IBM recommends at least a 20MB hard drive and 640K of RAM for proper operation. With its ease of use, flexibility, built-in applications and impressive potential, the 'Current' IBM Information Management Software review gets a thumbs up and is the most creative PC application software that has come from IBM.
