You are also invited
to use
and to
recognise the benefits of our fully customised and easy-to-use
OPAL
Addresses and Dossier Management System (CRM). This application is
commercially proven and used by various organisations successfully every day since more than two
decades. OPAL
is a user-friendly and professional dossier management system (CRM) for all activities and documents,
with integrated contact and address management, as well as the project
administration. OPAL can also be used as a pure address management
system. However, you will very soon honour the additional benefit of the
integrated dossier management as well.
OPAL can be used on a professional business network
server with several client workstations just as well as on a private personal
computer. OPAL runs fully independent from Internet availability, but offers all
needed connectivity (e.g. sending e-mails, using hyperlinks) if Internet is
available. Therefore, you are always in full control of your OPAL data and
documents. Here are 7 OPAL highlights:
Address management
for unlimited addresses (with international address formats) and for unlimited
numbers for each organisation and for each person.
Relations
management for unlimited relations between
organisations, persons and projects.
Dossiers
for a well targeted overview
to all activities of a person, organisation or project. Each dossier may contain
unlimited activities, documents
and pending files and provides various search and filter functions. Documents
may be OPAL-Documents, which are stored in the OPAL database, as well as
externally stored and linked files (all file types are supported).
Text processing
(highly automated OPAL-Documents) for the
efficient, quick and user-friendly creation of letters, mailings, notes and
other documents (for printing, sending via fax and e-mail).
Stationery
(user defined) to automatically
being used for the creation of letters, mailings, notes and other documents.
Integration
of all external files (e.g.
Microsoft Word, Excel,
Adobe
PDF, etc.) with unlimited
hyperlinks.
E-Mail Client
to directly send individual
e-mails and personalised e-mail mailings and newsletter, which are automatically archived
in all relevant dossiers. The e-mail client needs an Internet connection (third
party fees may apply).
In addition to its
user-friendly data entry and data administration (including «Smart-Filter»
in selection lists), as well as all necessary tools
for the technical administration and data security (including user codes and passwords), OPAL offers a wizard to
import existing person, organisation and address data from any database or table
(e.g. Microsoft Excel). Due to the design and the flexibility of OPAL it is
possible to store all data in a way to represent the reality. The dossiers for
each person and for each organisation will be created and maintained
automatically by the usage of OPAL.

Our engagements
We are involved in the conservation and protection of nature,
food and health,
as well as
environment and peace.
This is important to us, not only but especially as basis for all economic
activities and interests. Peace and environmental protection are no contradiction to
economy, but their very foundation. Also because of that, renewable energies
must be build up without delay and replace nuclear power worldwide and completely (see
SolarPeace.org).
An error in Microsoft Office can cause, that OPAL is
not started.
The solution is very simple ... This error had
been corrected in Microsoft
Office 2016 for most situations and occurs only very seldom.
