You say AnyPO is shareware.  What exactly is shareware?

Shareware is software that can be downloaded for free.  There is no expiration date.  You can take all the time you need to evaluate the program.  If you find that the program is useful in your business, then you are asked to register the program.  (For specifics on AnyPO's registration fees, see costs.)  On the other hand, if you don't find the program useful, you can easily un-install it. 

The nice thing about shareware is that there are no middle men, nor is there a retail or wholesale mark-up.   That makes shareware very cost effective.  In the case of AnyPO and all true shareware programs, you will be downloading the actual program.  It's not a watered-down, "evaluation" version; rather it is the full program.  Yes, it does have a few features turned off because of piracy concerns, but if you'd like to evaluate those features as well, just drop us a line and we'll provide you with a temporary registration code. 

With shareware, there is no guess work involved.  You don't to have to rely on promises or advertising slogans.  The proof is the program itself. 

Do we get a number of people who download the program and then decide they need something else?  Sure.  We think that's good.  That's the purpose of shareware.  We want people to find the software program that's just right for them.  As you'll see from our website, we go out of our way to make it as easy as possible for people to make a careful and informed decision. 

What sort of features are found in AnyPO?

To help answer that question, we've put together two different ways in which you can learn about the features found in AnyPO.

What do other people think about AnyPO?  Has it been reviewed by others?  Has it won any awards?

We're glad you asked!  We're pretty proud of our work, and we're happy to report that AnyPO has garnered its share of software awards. 

Over the past year alone, AnyPO received another eight five-star ratings from Internet software suppliers.  For more information on awards, reviews, and commentary by AnyPO users, see: awards and reviews.

How easy is AnyPO to learn?

This is where AnyPO really stands out.  After you use AnyPO for a couple of days, you'll find that it has a natural, comfortable feel to it.  That's not accidental.  We've spent quite a bit of time studying how people work naturally in a business situation and we tried to build AnyPO around those natural patterns. 

Most users hardly ever refer to help system, but if needed it's there.  You'll find the help system a refreshing change.  It's very complete.  You won't have to search around on websites for the answers to your questions.  It's built right into the program.  Periodically, we carefully look at users' questions and we update the help documentation. 

Overall you'll find AnyPO a very friendly and logic approach, a carefully designed tool to make your life a lot easier. 

I'd like to download and evaluate a copy of AnyPO.  How do you do that?

It's just a matter of downloading a file.  Once you have the file downloaded, double-click on it and the installation program will start.  From then on, just the directions.  You'll find the download links here: download links.

I hear that you need to be careful about downloading programs.  Are your download files safe?

Oh yes!.  We go out of our way to make sure that our download files are safe.  Moreover, our download files have tested by over a dozen independent testers.  They've all shown that our programs are 100% free of viruses and adware and are safe to install.  More information.

I like the program, but I need one or two special features and a customized report for my business.  Can you do customized work?

Yes.  We do customized work.  If there's a special feature that you need, describe it to us and we'll provide you with a cost estimate.  You'll find our rates very reasonable and affordable.

What sort of support do you provide with the program?

With AnyPO there's an intimate connection between developer and user.  Support is one of the reasons why AnyPO has received as many software awards as it has.  When you need support, you don't need to wade through a phone tree, or fill out on-line forms, or talk to someone overseas who has only rudimentary knowledge of the program.  You'll be able to talk directly to the programmers themselves, and get accurate, in depth and helpful information. 

We have a special page on our website devoted to support.  You find more information here: AnyPO Support.
