MaxForms
Maximizer always presents the user defined fields (UDFs) as a list format sorted alphabetically. However, users often want to enter data into certain fields in a certain order, rather then see all the fields available to fill in. If this is the case then MaxForms is the solution for you.

Why use MaxForms?

Staff will work more efficiently with the right information at their finger tips.
Forms help ensure important information is recorded properly.
Training costs for new and existing staff are reduced.
Staff prefer a system specific to their work within the business.
A wider range of business processes is handled by MaxForms with Maximizer.
Business system development is simple without programming.

MaxForms operates on the highlighted record in the underlying Maximizer Enterprise database. It presents any combination of fields, in any layout, with no limit on field labels. Data captured in a MaxForms screen can:

Display multiple tabs
Organise UDF groupings
Update UDFs
Enforce a single selection only from a table
Add Notes to the contact history
Schedule an activity - Hotlist or Calendar
Create uniquely numbered events
Refer to tables held alongside Maximizer e.g. product/price tables
Perform calculations
Post calculated fields back to Maximizer UDFs

So now your Maximizer Enterprise system can be used in new ways:

As a semi-structured telemarketing screen
To logically subdivide the database
To capture complex visit reports
As a compliance check list
As a data capture system for Quotations
- Numbered Quotations
- UDFs captured in Maximizer
- Quote printed into a Word template
- Follow-up logged in Hotlist

Max Doc - Max Document Management
Max Document management simply offers enhanced document creation and storage facilities for Maximizer. It is an ideal additional product for those who use Maximizer Word Processor but who require the extra power of Microsoft Word, which gives you additional functionality.

Benefits of Max Doc :

Max Doc emulates in Microsoft Word all the menus in Maximizer’s word-processor.
What’s more is that Max Doc document templates in Word use the same merge fields as in Maximizer’s word processor, making everything familiar to a Maximizer user.
The Max Doc filestore is a special feature, which allows documents to be linked to your Maximizer document window, so that they are easy to find in Maximizer, but will not cause your Maximizer database to over-expand. The filestore is a managed area on your server where files can be automatically stored by Max Doc.
Max Doc supports the scanning of documents into Maximizer from an industry-standard TWAIN scanner. It also has a Fax Inbox extension. * This optional extra enables the user to store incoming fax messages in Maximizer (not all fax systems are supported) .

MaxFeed
Max Feed provides facilities that de-duplicates companies in a Maximizer database, where clients appear more than once. It can quickly identify and remove duplicate companies. For example when imported data overlaps with the existing data. Max Feed is the perfect tool to use when you:

Import and merge data from bought-in mailing lists with an existing Maximizer database.
Import data from other corporate database to an existing Maximizer database where a high overlap exists between the companies in each source.
Build new Maximizer databases from mailing lists or other sources.
De-duplicate companies in a Maximizer database.

Benefits of Max Feed:

It uses a unique Fuzzy-Logic to identify whether one address is the same as another. It cross-checks records, in order to identify duplicates, which can be merged into one.
Keyed Field Updating allows you to simply add a text UDF containing your client’s customer account code to your Maximizer data, and Max Feed can be used to regularly update their records. E.g. Updating sales figures from your corporate accounts system.

ZetaFax
ZetaFax 7 is easy to use, and reliable fax server software. It can be integrated with your existing IT system to provide an ideal faxing solution. ZetaFax works with Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95/98 and will therefore fit comfortably in most environments.

ZetaFax e-mail gateway is an additional powerful feature within ZetaFax 7. It allows full integration with Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Mail, Lotus Notes, Lotus cc:Mail and Novell GroupWise, enabling you to send and receive faxes as e-mail messages.

Automatic redialing and reconnection
A fax submitted by the fax client is queued at the fax server ready for sending. The ZetaFax server will automatically send out any queued faxes. If the fax lines are busy, ZetaFax server will redial automatically at specified intervals. If during a transmission the line connection is lost, ZetaFax reconnects and sends any remaining pages without any user intervention.

Send Quality Faxes
By using ZetaFax, the quality of the fax being sent is of much higher quality than a manual fax transmission. ZetaFax eliminates scanning errors which occur during manual faxing, giving the recipient a fax that has a high quality feel to it.

Fax from applications
Prepare documentation in your everyday software applications (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint etc) and send it without the need of a fax machine. You can even store documents and brochures as fax attachments saving even more time.

Mass Faxing
Send documents to one or many recipients - send a brochure to your entire customer list. Setting up faxes is simple using your own customer database to supply the contact details.
