For Immediate Release
International Solutions, Inc. Releases Impulse! Professional V2.5
-- Latest Version Adds Features, Flexibility And Ease Of Use --
Canton, MA, June 15, 1991 -- International Solutions, Inc.
announced today the latest release of Impulse! Professional V2.5.
The complete package is available through local computer resellers
or directly from International Solutions, Inc. Approximately 5,000
updates will be shipped free of charge to registered users. Tech
support for the new release as well as previous versions continues
to be provided free of charge during normal business hours.
The newest release adds a host of powerful new features along with
enhancing existing options.
One of the features that has been added to the program is designed
to help management better understand the demographics of their
contact database. This demographic/statistical feature totals the
number of records meeting a set of criteria.
For instance, the user may want a breakdown of the number of
contacts per city and state. Impulse! Professional will tally up
all the records and then print a summary showing how many people
are in each city and state. The analysis can be done on any field
or fields in the database, including area code, contact code, city,
title, etc.
Another new option is a tickler and logbook module. This feature is
designed to remind the user when and why to follow up and with
whom. It also helps the user by displaying a summary of previous
conversations or literature sent to the contact.
The expense module now comes standard with Impulse!. Originally it
was sold as an add-on. This module allows the user to enter
expenses into a database. Lookup tables for accounts, description,
etc. make the module more ideally suited to business people than
the average dedicated accounting package. The module prints out
summary or detailed reports for department and end of year tax
purposes.
A completely revised 80,000 word spelling checker has been
incorporated into the program. The spell checker can be accessed
when writing a letter to a contact to check. A window of possible
options are displayed when the spell checker comes up on a word it
does not recognize. The word can be skipped, edited or added to the
dictionary.
A user database has been added for network systems. This allows
each user to access the program with their particular preferences
rather than be restricted to a global setup.
The number of indexes has been expanded from five to nine. Five of
the indexes are now completely user-definable. This allows the user
to select the way he wants to bring up a contact's record. The
fixed indexes are: Name, Company, Zip Code, and Contact #. The
other indexes can be set to the phone number, address, account #,
state, city, balance or last time updated. Along with being able to
define upto five indexes, the user can select what information is
to be displayed in the browse tables for the five indexes.
The primary database can now be modified. Upto 25 additional fields
can be added to the primary database. These fields might be used
for social security number, tax id #, fax or car phone number.
Indexes can be created for any one of these fields. The secondary
database can still have upto 100 user-defined fields.
The word processing/letter writing modules have been enhanced and
made more flexible. If the user wants to insert information from
the contact database into the document, they simply press a key and
select the field. The information is then automatically inserted.
A running interval timer is displayed while talking to the contact.
The lapsed time can then be inserted into the comment field or
logbook for time and billing purposes.
A screen saver has been added to prevent screen burnout when the
program is not being used. The user can control the number of
seconds of no activity before the screen is blanked out.
A password system can now be used to prevent unauthorized access to
confidential information.
Each user can have an unlimited number of scratch pads. These can
be used to maintain a list of things to do, grocery list, telephone
script, inventory list, etc.
A global search and replace feature has also been added. This
allows the user to replace the contents of a field with another
field or something else.
The print options have been expanded and made easier to use. The
printer can be reset and realigned on the fly. Reports can be
viewed on screen before being printed.
The memory requirements of the program has been significantly
reduced. Depending on the configuration of the system, the memory
requirements have been reduced by as upto 50 Kbytes.
Impulse! is competitively priced at $249 for the network ready
package which allows up to one user. Each additional user is $50.
Inventory and sales entry modules are available. The system
operates under MS-DOS version 3.3 or higher, requires a minimum of
640k and a hard disk drive. A free, full working demonstration copy
of the software is available at no obligation. For more information
call (617) 821-4197. Or write to International Solutions, Inc. at
PO Box 359, Canton, MA 02021.

Impulse! is a powerful software package that helps users to
organize and maintain information vital to their company and
careers. It ensures that the communications link between the user
and his contacts is continually maintained.
"Keeping in touch with customers, suppliers, members, or
constituents is the key to success in any profession." said Vikram
Kachoria, president of International Solutions, Inc. "With so much
going on, maintaining a network of contacts is becoming
increasingly more difficult to do. But it is also increasingly more
important, that's where Impulse! fits in. It is an information
manager."
The easily learned features belie the range of flexibility and
adaptability of this powerful business tool.
Impulse! adds a new dimension to contact management software. In
addition to the standard features of adding, updating, deleting and
printing records, Impulse! gives the user a range of features found
only on packages costing several hundred dollars more.
One powerful feature allows the user to target a specific subgroup
of contacts for telemarketing, direct mail programs, updates or
reminders. For instance, with just a few keystrokes, the user can
send a letter to accounts with service contracts up for renewal
this month, or a letter to residents in 'MA' with an income of
$500,000 or more. By filtering the contacts in this way, the user
can save time and money by focusing his attention on selected
contacts.
Impulse! Professional also enables the user to design creative and
personalized form letters. Once designed, contacts can be mail
merged into the letter simply by pressing 'P' for Print. This
feature can also be used for printing reports with headers,
footers, totals, and for printing simple mailing labels. Impulse!
comes with several predesigned form letters, labels, rolodex
formats, and mailing labels. The user can modify these or create
his own.International Solutions Releases Impulse! Professional V2.5 --- 2
To help the user maintain information vital to his organization,
Impulse!'s database can be customized. For instance, a real estate
agent would want to keep track of the selling price of a property,
the number of bedrooms, baths, etc. Impulse! allows the user to
define up to 100 fields particular to his needs.
Other features include a built-in word processor, pop-up
calculator, macro keys, multiple databases, merging databases,
extracting records, default information, envelope printing and a
telephone dialer. There is even a conversion utility for those
users who want to convert their current information to Impulse!
Professional from ASCII or dBASE III/III+/IV formats.
Impulse! is competitively priced at $249 for the network ready
package which allows up to one user. Each additional user is $50.
Inventory and sales entry modules are available. The system
operates under MS-DOS version 3.3 or higher, requires a minimum of
640k and a hard disk drive. A free, full working demonstration copy
of the software is available at no obligation. For more information
