PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2000--
Onespace users can keep on top of their e-mail, organize their hectic schedules and get their shopping done all in one convenient place
Built in "wallet," browsing numerous sites in one place and handy
"gift button" enhancements offer users ease-of-shopping
This holiday season will be a breeze to get through due to Enfish Onespace, the personal desktop portal that helps PC users organize their e-mail, Web searches, documents and contacts, all in one convenient place. Now Enfish offers
Onespace users ease-of-shopping with its "wallet" enhancement with partnered merchants, the ability to browse numerous partnered e-tailers, and a convenient "buy gift" button located with each contact detailing specific information.
Enfish Onespace, available for a limited time as a free download off the Internet at www.enfish.com, is a powerful PC software/Internet service that is designed to help PC users get more done with less effort and time.
"The next couple of months are always a busy time of the year," said founder and CEO of Enfish Technology, Louise Wannier. "But now, due to Enfish Onespace, PC users have help in managing and organizing their rapid exchange of e-mails, work and after work schedules, professional and personal contacts, extensive research projects and end-of-year documents -- all in one convenient place.
"At this time of year, shopping for clients, family and friends is also a priority. The Onespace shopping enhancements are another way Enfish gives you more time for joy during the holidays."
As noted by Enfish Onespace user Antonio Perez on the popular ZDNet web site, he utilizes the software to help manage his life and shopping, "Wonderful! Bottom line: It organizes my E. I get more done in less time and I no longer feel overwhelmed. Nice perks: Great news and finance updates and easy to click to shopping sites ... "
How to use the "wallet"
Once the Enfish Onespace software is downloaded on an individual's PC, they simply have to fill out the information located under "My Profile" by clicking on the "wallet" button. Enfish Onespace has teamed up with merchants such as eToys, Giftcertificates.com, CDnow.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and more to bring this added enhancement to the user. Enfish Onespace stores the personal information and is password protected. Once the shopper is ready to make a purchase, all the shopper has to do is click on the "autofill" button at the bottom of the screen, and the user's pertinent information including address, phone number, credit card number and e-mail address is automatically filled in the requested areas at any e-tailer where the purchase is being made. The shopper no longer has to continue inputting the same information at each different site to complete their order. Shoppers only have to enter it once and use autofill to do the rest.
All the merchants you need in one place
In addition to its wallet enhancement, Enfish Onespace has also partnered with leading online merchants, creating a shopping gallery of e-tailers by category. This makes it possible to browse at more than one e-tailer at a time. The shopper clicks on which category they are interested in perusing and two or more windows open with multiple tabs for different e-tailers. For example, if the shopper is interested in books, music and videos, e-tailers such as Borders.com, Amazon.com, Checkout.com and Audiobookclub.com open on one convenient page with additional tabs for even more accessible and popular e-tailers.
Furthermore, when Onespace users look up a specific business or personal contact with all of their pertinent information listed, including an upcoming birthday, they can quickly buy a gift with one click that brings them swiftly to partnered merchants. From restaurants to stores, to travel merchants, spas and movie tickets, there's something to be found for anyone in their contact list.
How Enfish Onespace Works
Enfish Onespace continuously maintains a cross-referenced master index of the contents of users' e-mails, files, contacts, Web bookmarks or clipped Web pages so that users can stay organized and find information quickly without doing extra work. Enfish Onespace doesn't move, change or alter in any way users' information, but augments Microsoft Windows by adding a customizable desktop that gives users access to all their e-mail, Web sites, contacts and documents in one secure, convenient place.
Enfish Onespace goes one step further to organize pages for all the people and companies that are important to each user, automatically displaying all the related information (e-mails, documents, Internet news sources, colleagues, contact info.) that is pertinent for a particular person or company in one place. To date, Enfish Onespace has received many positive product reviews from publications including ZDNet (five stars) Fast Company and Computer Shopper.
