New tool could benefit every PC user

An idea so simple it makes people comment “Surely this must have been done before?” This is the reaction to HomeSec, a piece of software that unlocks the true power of the PC for everyday users.

Describing the product, says Richard Leyshon of Lware Limited (who market HomeSec), is best achieved by way of an example:

“The PC is a great place to store documents and spreadsheets comprising raw data, but very poor when it comes to information about the daily interactions that make up our lives. For example, when the Taxman claims not to have received requested information, which has been provided, what would actually be more useful to the average person, their PC or their pocket diary? For most people the answer is the diary because the PC fails to address events, and it is in dealing with events that many of us spend much of our daily lives.”

HomeSec addresses this problem by taking an address book (which stores all personal contact data, makes emailing easy and produces address labels for letters etc) and linking it to an Organisations database and an Events database. The result, an incredibly simple to use application that records details of all the dealings undertaken with another person or organisation.

It then becomes a simple matter of a few mouse clicks to view all the interactions that have occurred between the two parties, in date order - whether it was attending a meeting, visiting a customer, paying a bill, writing a letter of complaint, playing a game of squash or getting an engineer to sort out a broadband problem for the fourth time.

For any stored event, it is possible to include a virtually unlimited amount of text based information, if required. Future events are not neglected either, as each Contact may have a dated Reminder message – displayed on the main screen, so one need never again forget a meeting or a birthday.

The application also caters for multiple users who can sign in using a username and password. They may then choose whether a contact or event is Private (for their eyes only) or Public (visible to all users). This could be especially useful in an office environment where any member of the team could view Public data but keep their own Private data for personal use. Alternatively, the software supports the use of multiple database files and so users could keep their work and home data in different databases and select which one to use when they log on.

The software is fully compatible with Windows XP and Vista and is available for download at www.home-sec.info for £10.

Background information
Lware Limited is a private limited company engaged in the supply of original software. The HomeSec product is based heavily on the technology and building blocks of ClubSec (software designed specifically for the management of Clubs) – released earlier in 2007. Whilst specific details are confidential, the company is currently negotiating the supply of the software, including web based reporting to a central database for an organisation with “dozens” of establishments in the London area. ClubSec2, with a dramatically enhanced user interface geared for users with smaller monitors is scheduled for release in November 2007.

HomeSec was originally conceived for use mainly in the home and office environments but has subsequently attracted the interest for salesmen as a very economical CRM application and amongst healthcare worker (particularly Counsellors) who find it a simple way of recording details of each session with a patient and maintaining an accurated history.

The HomeSec software is suitable for PC users running Windows XP or Windows Vista and is available for download from the website via secure PayPal credit card payment.

Future updates to the program will be automatically available, free of charge, to users via automated web download.
