Recommended software for small businesses
Below are some examples of software we have found very useful.
| Software |
|
| Open
Office |
Open office is very much like Microsoft Office except for two factors,
its much, much better (useability and functionality) and its free.
It contains a word processor (which can save files as Word files,
PDF and its own priority format), a spreadsheet, graphics program
and presention manager. Open Office runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix
and more. Highly recommended. I must stress that
personality I have only used the word processor, but if that is anything
to go by the rest should be just as good! |
| K9 |
K9 sits between your email account and your email software. Your
email software behaves as normal. Easy to setup. K9 learns from its
mistakes and becomes better and better at being able to identify spam.
More importantly it learns to recognize what you consider to be spam.
And once again it is free! Highly recommended. |
| E2db
Server |
From our parent company, Interkonect, comes this neat little software
that takes your web form response emails and extracts the information
submitted and posts that information to any database on your PC. Highly
recommended. |
| Group
Mail Free |
Send personalised emails quickly and easily. We love this software,
the free version only allows you to use its own database
as a source of email address, names etc. But it is great, just use
it responsibly - a few highly targeted B2B emails are fine. Highly
recommended. |
| Help
Centre Live |
This is a free web based application that allows you to
offer help/support to your customers using trouble tickets and live
chat. Really easy to impliment. Requires database enabled webspace.
To many features to list! Admins and 'operators' log on to a web page
and can view new trouble tickets and engage in live chat. A windows
application is available that allows you to chat stright from your
desktop with people on your website. Highly recommended. |
Please do not ask to have your software listed here. These are personal
recommendations.
