OPAL
Addresses and Dossier Management System (CRM)and to
recognise its benefits. This
application runs on Windows computers (but is not
available for smart-phones), is commercially proven and usedby various
organisations successfully every day since more than two decades.
OPAL
is a user-friendly and professional dossier management system (CRM) for all activities and documents,
with integrated contact and address management, as well as the project
administration. OPAL
can also be used
as a pure address management system. However, you will very soon honour the
additional benefit of the integrated dossier management as well.
OPAL can be used with the Microsoft Windows operating system
on a professional business network
server with several client workstations (with some
ten thousand records)
just as well as on a private personal
computer(with only a few records). OPAL runs fully independent from Internet availability, but offers all
needed connectivity
if Internet is
available(e.g. sending e-mails, using hyperlinks). Therefore, you are always in full control of your data and
documents. Here are 7
highlights of the
OPAL
functionality:
Address management
for unlimited addresses,
international address formats,
and unlimited
numbers for each organisation and for each person.*)
Relations
management for unlimited relations between
organisations, persons and projects.*)
Dossiers
for a well targeted overview to
all activities of a person, organisation or project. Each dossier may contain
unlimited activities, documents and pending files*)
and provides various search and filter functions.
Documents may be OPAL-Documents,
which are stored in the OPAL database, as well as externally stored and linked
files (all
common
file types are supported).
Text processing
for
highly automated OPAL-Documents for the efficient, quick and user-friendly
creation of letters, mailings, notes and other documents for printing, sending
via fax and e-mail.
Stationery
are
user defined
and can
automatically
be
applied
for the creation of letters, mailings, notes and other documents.
Integration
of all external files (e.g.
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel,
Adobe PDF, etc.) with unlimited
hyperlinks.
E-Mail Client
to directly send individual
e-mails and personalised e-mail mailings and newsletter, which are automatically archived
in all relevant dossiers. The e-mail client needs an Internet connection
and
third
party fees may apply.
In addition to its
user-friendly data entry and data administration,
including «Smart-Filter» in selection lists, as well as all necessary tools
for the technical administration and data security,
including user codes and passwords, OPAL offers a wizard to
import existing person, organisation and address data from any database or table
(e.g. Microsoft Excel). Due to the design and the flexibility of OPAL it is
possible to store all data in a way to represent the reality. The dossiers for
each person and for each organisation will be created and maintained
automatically by the usage of OPAL(each activity
is automatically assigned to at least one person or project).
*) The number of records in the database such as persons,
addresses, numbers, relations, projects or activities, are limited by the
database technology of Microsoft Access (see OPAL System Requirements).
We are involved in the conservation and protection of nature,
food and health,
as well as
environment and peace.
This is important to us, not only but especially as basis for all economic
activities and interests. Peace and environmental protection are no contradiction to
economy, but their very foundation. Also because of that, renewable energies
must be build up without delay and replace nuclear power worldwide and completely (see
SolarPeace.org).
An error in Microsoft Office can cause, that OPAL is
not started.
The solution is very simple ... This error had
been corrected in Microsoft
Office 2016 for most situations and occurs only very seldom.
