Hi Rajesh… We have certain softwraes .

Founder & CEO at Maksoft

June 2002 - June 2004 (2 years 1 month)
I founded Maksoft with my younger brother and conceived software solutions to handle
Information Overload by automating the process for effective Information Management and
Knowledge Management. I realized that every type of organization has too much data and
in particular the unstructured data lying in documents remains unorganized in absence of
simple and efficient Electronic Record Management solutions. Sorting these data and
documents, picking out valid one, classifying further in logical groups and transforming into
meaningful information and reusable knowledge are among few of the challenges raging
issues today and every organization irrespective of the size is suffering because of that and
loosing productivity at work place.

We found negligible development in managing information overload at the information

origination stage itself and conceived and built office productivity solutions that closely work
around Microsoft Office applications which is the main source of unstructured information
generation like documents, spreadsheets, presentations and most importantly emails

By using Maksoft Office Productivity Applications, any individual, group, department or

organization that is using Microsoft Office to generate work and communication documents
can get increased efficiency and enhanced productivity for accomplishing routine tasks.
The selection of the application depends on his job profile and usage of document creation
requirements. And hence one organization can give one or more applications to each and
every knowledge worker for better organized:

Documents & Files Outlook Emails

Knowledge Base Templates/Formats
Model Documents Contact Information
Sales Leads Sales Activities & Follows-ups
Customer Interaction Greeting Information
Marketing Collaterals Quote & Proposals

Being the First Mover for many of the innovations, Maksoft invested continuously to
improvise these Office Productivity applications to make them feature rich, robust, user
friendly and highly adaptable among different target users segment.
