Think software is boring? Think again. There are quite a few software titles that do cool or outright weird things you’d never think about.

LottoPro 2005

Do you play lottery a lot? No luck yet? Maybe it’s the time you turn to software for help. LottoPro 2005 helps you to pick winners in any lottery type — Pick 3, 4, 5, and 6, as well as PowerBall, Keno and others. History files for U.S., Canadian and international lotteries give you a basis for generating new numbers, and analysis tools (such as frequencies, hot and cold, due numbers, hit sequences, and more) that can be used with your favorite numbers to generate picks. Clearly, no software can guarantee you a win, but it’s a fun tool to pay with.

MedSpel

Can’t understand the doctor talk? You are not alone. In fact, a lot of medical professionals don’t know meaning of many terms or don’t know how to spell them. MedSpel includes over 40,000 medical spellling words that can be added to your Microsoft(TM) Word spelling dictionary on you Windows computer. MedSpel includes terms ranging from abdominis to zygomatic , which allows you to concentrate on your work instead of looking up words that are not in the basic spelling dictionary. MedSpel costs $9 and it’s worthwhile investment for folks who have to deal with medical terms day in and day out.

MP3 Doctor

MP3 Doctor is an editing tool that lets you check, modify, and improve your MP3 and WAV files. You can repair imperfect songs or modify them with trimming, equalizing, and resampling. The goal is to let you maintain similar quality, volume, and sound on all your MP3s. In addition, the program converts MP3 files to WAV and vice versa. Moreover, the program can handle ID3 tags of MP3 files. The normalize function allows you to get the lower parts of a song to higher levels and to standardize your MP3 collection. The karaoke feature lets the user remove the vocals of an MP3 or WAV file. The pitch and tempo features let the user change tempo (BPM) without changing the pitch, or vice versa. MP3 Doctor is a fine tool to play with if you like music and have tons of mp3 files.

Microsoft bought Navision, Denmark based software development company, along with Great Plains Software. Now Microsoft Business Solutions offers the following ERP applications: Navision (former Navision Attain), Microsoft Great Plains (former Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise), Solomon, Axapta. Formerly Navision had strong positions in Europe. Now it is being promoted in USA and Europe. Navision has a quite advanced manufacturing module.

We would like to give you manager, information and guidance concerning the Sales module of Navision

• Focus on Relationship with your Client - The main objective of Navision Sales is to improve your relationship with your client, therefore this module was designed to store and relate all information concerning transactions with a certain client, or group of customers.

• Marketing Tools - The Sales Module also gathers and filters important information pertaining to Marketing decision making, based on your company’s criteria and set up, the system is prepared to provide only the truly relevant data.

• Task lists – The best way to have control over the tasks given to your employees. They know what they have to do, and management knows whether they have completed it or not. Being that these lists can be automatically updated, based on activities performed throughout the system, and also with Microsoft Outlook interaction.

• Opportunity Management – The Sales Module can even control and flag your opportunities, including substitute products, sales campaigns, discounts based on product and customer (or families of products and customers).

Reporting Options - Aside from the powerful internal reporting tool which requires an in-depth knowledge of C/SIDE to make it useful the other options are:

• Jet Reports- Jet Reports is a complete reporting package utilizing Microsoft Excel. Using Excel you can create reports on any table of data from within any granule in Navision.

• C/ODBC - Using the ODBC driver, the entire Microsoft office suite and programs such as Crystal Reports can access the database. I would recommend using this tool for occasional reporting requests only. If you need to pull data out of the Navision database on a regular basis one of the other options is a better choice

• Business Analytics (SQL Server Required) - Using Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) from Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000, Business Analytics organizes all of your business data into information units called cubes. Using a familiar Microsoft Outlook®-style interface, Business Analytics presents this information to your desk top where easy to use analytical tools allow you to carry out targeted analysis that is tailored by you, for you

• XBRL - Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) for Navision enables simple and dependable distribution of all a company’s financial information and ensures smooth and accurate data transfer.
