Software that spans 2 categories

Article Abstract:

Sinper Corp's Spreadsheet Connector 2.0 data conversion software for networks works with Sinper's own TM/1 spreadsheet software as well as competing products Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel. Spreadsheet Connector handles data independent of the software interface, thereby allowing users their choice of spreadsheets. In spite of the high regard in which its corporate accountant users hold TM/1 as a spreadsheet, it has not gained the popularity of Lotus 1-2-3 or Excel due to its hybrid design as both a spreadsheet and a data base. Its advantages include being able to create master data sheets more easily than the other programs because of it storing data in fields that can be updated and manipulated in a variety of ways. Sinper hopes that with the addition of Spreadsheet Connector 2.0, users will find TM/1 more approachable. Spreadsheet Connector 2.0 ranges in price from $985 to $34,995, depending upon its configuration.

The increasing popularity of desktop networks bodes will for Notes, which pioneered groupware, a type of software that allows information sharing and teamwork among office workers. Notes' sales is expected to reach $100 million in 1993, double that of the previous year's figure. Version 3.0 supports Apple Macintosh microcomputers, Unix workstations and IBM-compatibles running Microsoft Windows 3.1 graphical user interface. It also includes enhancements that ease the task of programming custom applications that meshes well with Notes. Lotus will market Notes 3.0 through software distributors and resellers, such as Ingram Micro Inc, Merisel Inc, Egghead, Corporate Software and Softmart, to be able to reach small businesses.
