The programs and components of Microsoft Office are a de-facto standard that are used by literally millions of people and businesses everyday. All of the MS Office components, such as Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word, have a high degree of integration. But they can also be integrated with other applications, such as an inventory module or contact management system, using Visual Basic for Applications. This feature provides for more efficient processes, tighter integration, easier document management, and enhancing work group collaboration. FutureWare has a large number of VBA objects, and can quickly develop new ones, using our Framework technology, that can be directly used to increase work flow, provide better control, and even publish selected information to a web site.

FutureWare also has direct experience with the Office2000 suite, and all of our VBA objects and technology expertise can be exploited by this new product without any modifications. This ability provides continuing dividends by reusing proven capabilities and applying them to a new environment and leveraging past investments.
