INTELLI INNOVATIONS RELEASES INTELLIMERGE SQL 1.0 FOR MAC OS X New Database-Enabled Business Communication Software Allows Organizations To Take Advantage Of Customer Databases, Manage Contacts And Increase Business Through Customized E-Mail Campaigns Raleigh, NC -- Intelli Innovations, Inc. has released IntelliMerge SQL, its new specialized database software for electronic business messaging. Using any standard MySQL or OpenBase server as a data source, IntelliMerge SQL can create, preview, deploy, and report on dynamically created e-mail campaigns in a single, integrated software solution. "The IntelliMerge SQL software builds on the tremendous amount of feedback we've received from our IntelliMerge desktop mailing software," said Paul Scandariato, CTO of Intelli Innovations. "We're very pleased to deliver a solid, database-enabled product that delivers powerful functionality with the ease of use that our customers expect." "IntelliMerge SQL allows us to take advantage of our existing customer and subscriber databases to send customized e-mail messages to large groups of people," said Mike Juarez, President of Arctic Software, an IntelliMerge SQL testing site. "This system allows us to keep in touch with customers quickly, easily, and efficiently, letting us get back to work writing software." IntelliMerge SQL 1.0 features: - Integrated campaign/message editor with plain text, styled text, html, and text/html combination messaging. Using the editor, users can build messages that are customized to each target recipient using any field available in their selected data source. - Instant Preview feature allows users to see the text, html, and source of a message before mailing, using original data from their database. - Built-in MySQL and OpenBase database support (no additional drivers or libraries required). IntelliMerge SQL works directly with the database server on a record-by-record basis to offer live previews, quickly generated messages, and instant recipient status updates. - Query filtering using IntelliMerge SQL's visual Query Builder, or optionally enter custom SQL commands for advanced record selection, multiple table joins, on-the-fly field modification, and other special options. - Support for file attachments, embedded multimedia files, and dynamically generated message headers. - IntelliMergeStatus recipient information field, automatically reported back to the original data source to indicate recipient mailing status, address validity, bounce notification, and/or specific campaign exclusion. - Integrated SMTP and direct mailing system with multiple connection support, connection backup capabilities, record-based error reporting, cancellation recovery, SMTP Authentication support, and automatic timeouts. IntelliMerge SQL can easily handle single campaigns from 10 to 1 million recipients, and more. - Mac OS X-based mailing support via sendmail or qmail (UNIX-based mail transfer agents, sendmail is pre-installed with OS X), including script creation, automated message queuing, interactive Terminal-based configuration commands, and setup instructions for web-based queue monitoring. IntelliMerge SQL can create "portable mailers" that can be used to execute pre-merged campaigns on any UNIX-based platform. - MBOX and message file campaign generation: ready for delivery with custom mail transfer agents for those who need that capability. - Bounce Checker: scans any POP3 mailbox for bounced messages, recording addresses to be flagged in or removed from the target data source. IntelliMerge SQL's Bounce Checker can also delete bounced messages after recording their contents, and fully supports APOP user authentication. - Included SQL Tools: Data Importer (imports tab-delimited text files into any data source), MySQL Admin (create and optimize databases and tables on MySQL-based data sources), and SQL Console (custom SQL command entry and result browser, drag-and-drop export to Excel or AppleWorks). - Included MySQL/PHP integration examples for automatic, web-based handling of subscription requests. IntelliMerge SQL is available directly from the Intelli Innovations Company Store in four editions, starting at $349.00 (USD) for the Personal Edition.
