      New Ideas For Your Business At Warp Expo West !!


  You'll see plenty of business solutions while you're at
Warp Expo West.

  OS/2 running your office phones?  Sure!  Both Active Voice
and Auto VoiceSystems will show you automated-attendant,
voicemail, and interactive voice response systems running on
OS/2, and how you can turn any office large-or-small into a
business telecommunications center.  Need specialty
configurations such as Order Center or Help Desk?  These two
companies together offer a one-stop OS/2 solution to help
you expand your phone center quickly.

  Online sales need a boost?  WarpCharge from Theta Band
Software runs on OS/2 and automatically processes credit
card orders over the 'net, plus handles your phone and mail
orders - the first OS/2 software to do so.  Your
transactions are cleared securely over your existing
internet connection.  And WarpCharge comes with an extensive
REXX interface so it neatly fits into your own way of doing
business.

  Your office will hum smoothly with great OS/2 business
applications from Sundial Systems and Phoenix Software.
Sundial has the spreadsheet Mesa 2, the database frontend
DBExpert, the word processor Clearlook, the time manager
Relish, and the desktop companion Rover.  Phoenix Software's
Think Tool Pro is a graphical-development (no programming
required) object database which can store structured data,
compound documents, complex data such as videos, sounds and
images, and knowledge databases -- and is a complete
solution platform for sales, project management, product
development, accounting, order entry, inventory, and all
other business needs.

  Upgrade your servers and keep them running with Demand
Systems OS/2 servers, IBM's e-Business solutions, Serenity
Systems managed OS/2 clients and Legato's Standby Server for
OS/2 Warp.  Demand Systems is an IBM Software Partner and
can preinstall OS/2 servers, clients and applications so
your new hardware simply plugs into the network and runs,
and they handle custom requirements such as xDSL and fax
servers too.  IBM will show their entire suite of OS/2-based
e-Business solutions -- the new Warp Server For e-Business,
WorkSpace On-Demand, Java Server and Domino Server
performance improvements, TCP/IP capacity enhancements,
Services Offerings, and Remote Client Connection from the
Rapid Deployment Team.  Serenity Systems manages your entire
network of diskless workstations with WiseManager, keeping
your hardware costs down and giving you better control of
your data.  And Legato will make sure your network never
goes down from server failure.

  Photo-quality images from your desktop printer are the key
to great presentations, and Klassic Specialties has the
special materials that create them.  Sales, contract
proposals, point-of-sales, backlit displays -- all benefit
from snappy images, and Klassic can have you printing them
for instant use - even on fabric, plastic, metal or film.

  These and dozens of other exhibitors, lecturers and
Vendor100's are waiting for you on September 18.

  Your business runs better on OS/2, and we'll show you how
- at Warp Expo West!

                           - - -
