Chris Caldwell, (519) 641-0891 For immediate release: First Canadian Accounting Package for Windows Debuts July 19, 1990 -- Oakville, Ontario -- Intelligent Information Integration today announced the release of the first Canadian accounting software product that runs under the Microsoft Windows environment. The product, Biz-Nix, is designed and produced in Canada, with Canadian needs in mind. Biz-Nix is being distributed in Canada by Intelligent Information Integration. ``The product fills a needed void in the Windows applications market'', said Don Roy, Director of Operations for the distributor. ``Only in the last year have the software products become available that average users need to be able to work in the Windows environment from nine to five. The basic needs have been met for spreadsheet, word processing, communications, database and, finally, accounting.'' Biz-Nix is an invoicing and accounting package targeted towards the low and middle range of Canadian businesses. While providing a wide range of capabilities, the software features a consistent user interface and approach that lets users get up and running almost immediately. According to Biz-Nix Chief Developer, Alex Barrotti, the program is intended for those businesses that ``wish to invoice their customers and have the computer take care of the books''. About the user interface, he commented further that ''Biz-Nix has ten control buttons that are characteristic to every screen. These allow you to invoice a customer, collect a payment, place a purchase order, or add a client in the same way, using the same command procedures.'' Anticipating the most-asked question for Canadian businesses, registered users of Biz-Nix will receive a free GST upgrade in the fourth quarter of 1990. The software includes management and tracking of: Accounts Receivable and Payable, Customer database and history, tax exemption, Order Entry, Inventory and Supplier databases, cash sales, credits, refunds, banking transactions for multiple bank accounts, Purchase Orders, shipping, receiving and invoicing for services. The software is fully compatible with all operating modes of Microsoft Windows Version 3.0 and uses the interface to advantage in providing easy access to a wide range of business reports. Among these reporting facilities are: Customer list and mailing labels, on hand inventory list with costs, daily and monthly sales reports, monthly commission reports, customer activity reports and more. The Biz-Nix Invoicing and Accounting software is available for shipment on August 1, 1990. The Windows 3.0 version of the software is file compatible with forthcoming versions for the Apple Macintosh and for OS/2 Presentation Manager. Projected release for these versions is first quarter, 1991. Suggested list price for the Windows 3.0 version is $450.00 Computer Reseller Promotion From now until September 30, Intelligent Information Integration is making a special Introduction Package available to computer resellers.
