askSam: Introduction please?

DENNIS CORBO:  I'm Dennis Corbo.

askSam: Can you tell me how you use askSam?

DENNIS CORBO:  I use askSam for two main applications.  The first is a relatively large "index card" collection containing approximately 50000 records.   The word indexing makes it very easy to derive information from this virtual "heap" of data.  I also use askSam to organize my analysis into a well organized electronic document.   I especially rely on the hyperlinks to categorize the concepts of the analysis.

askSam: How has askSam made job faster more efficient?

DENNIS CORBO: I find that askSam allows me to hit the ground running when I start a new project.   I am able to integrate information from many sources.

askSam:  How did you decide on askSam?

DENNIS CORBO:  I tested it against other similar programs.

askSam: How does askSam compare to other programs?

DENNIS CORBO:  askSam gives that extra bit of freedom that other programs do not.   It also has the ability to find information that is missed or difficult to locate in other programs.

askSam: What kind of customer support have you needed?

DENNIS CORBO: I have not required any support.

askSam: Would you recommend askSam and why?

DENNIS CORBO: I recommend askSam to clients who want to maintain my original analysis.  In some cases, I recommend askSam as an alternative to expensive repositories and Lotus Notes.

I am impressed with the deployment of askSam databases that I've seen on the Web.   I believe that askSam may be a good, cost effective tool that will allow easy access to distributed information.
