This Windows-based application was developed at AIS (now part of ITS)&nbsp;to assist university development officers in planning fund-raising activities and managers in evaluating the success of fund-raising efforts. Advise was designed to look and behave like most of the Windows software customers were already accustomed to using. It is easy to learn, easy to use and provides tremendous flexibility and responsiveness in meeting the university's fund-raising needs. The current version of Advise (11.x) is a 32-bit, Windows XP application written with Embarcadero Delphi. </font></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana">Advise will also work just fine on Microsoft Vista or Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) but may require a couple of extra steps during the installation.</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana"><a href="features_3.htm">Features</a><br><a href="install/install_3.htm">Installation</a> (onyen login required)<br><a href="contact_3.htm">Contacts</a><br><br /> <a href="/request/" target="_blank">Request Access to Alumni/Development Data</a> (onyen login required)</font><font face="Verdana"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break"><br></p></font></td></tr></tbody></table></font></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p align="center"><font size="1">This Web Page Created with PageBreeze </font><a href="http://www.pagebreeze.com" target=_blank><font size="1">Free HTML Editor</font></a></p></body></html>
