Renaissance Energy Ltd., Calgary, Alberta Canada "We use RptView to reduce our postal expense and provide reports to our field representatives in a timely fashion. We have a product to transfer the information to the field, but nothing to view the reports. That's where your viewer steps in. Most other viewers required a little technical know-how, but yours does not. We look for software that is user friendly and self-teaching." Olan Mills Inc., Chattanooga, TN, USA "We will be using Report View primarily in our accounting department for viewing the general ledger, accounts payables reports, job cost reports, and financial analysis and forcasting reports. It will save our company money because these reports tend to get bulky and many times have to be rerun do to printer jams or data changes. What got me interested in viewing reports electronically was a demo sent to us about a similiar commerical product. I liked this concept and thought that something similar would be available on the Internet. And sure enough, there were several. Your Report View product is by far the best on the net and I've looked at all of them that are available!"
