It is designed specifically for direct sales buisness' but can be easily adapted to many other types of buisness. The system is very easy to set-up and operate. 'TFO' is menu driven wherever possible and uses a single entry system for all data, this means that data entered in one area is automatically used by all other applicable areas. This feature can save a lot of time and prevent many mistakes in data entry. The system requires at least 256K of memory, a 10 MB (or greater) hard disk or two 720K 3.5 inch microfloppy disk drives. The program displays text in color if you have a color system but color is not required. The manual mentions that the system may work on two 5 1/4 inch but has not been fully tested on such a system. Information is available from I.A.M. about transferring The Front Office data via modem from within the program. The documentation (all 135+ pages) provided is very complete and thorough. It is organized into a tutorial section and a reference section. The manual is relatively free of computer jargon which should make it easier for inexperienced users to understand. 'THE FRONT OFFICE' is an excellent quality product, easily comparable to many comercial products available.
