Once your business cards are converted into text placed in data fields, you
have a real address database, similar to a cardfile system: the data is directly
searchable by any field. Extensive sort and select functions are available, dupli-
cate contacts can be found and resolved. Looking up a company, client or pros-
pect is a cinch. Even with very little to go on, say, no more than the first charac-
ters of a company name, you are sure to find your contact again instantly.
The resulting data is available for export. Cardiris smoothly complements
such applications as contact managers, "customer relations managers" ("CRMs"),
"personal information managers" ("PIMs"), general databases, spreadsheets or
even word processors whose mail merge function allows to print letters, enve-
lopes and labels. Or synchronize your Cardiris database with the contacts stored
on your PDA - your Palm organizer, your Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) handheld
device etc.
Exchanging data with the professional CRM software Microsoft Dynamics
CRM requires a special version of Cardiris!
Some other clearcut advantages of Cardiris over the paper world are all too
obvious: as you are dealing with a database, the information is centralized and
available to all your colleagues. Also, databases are easily transportable on CD-
ROM etc.
