Business Wire, Oct 30, 1995

BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1995--Sight & Sound Software Inc., a Beaverton-based multimedia and software development company, and Successful Money Management Seminars Inc., a Portland-based company have signed an agreement to develop an integrated client management and training software package for professional financial planners.

The new product's primary feature is an interactive tool set that helps financial professionals quickly and easily develop personalized financial reports for clients. In addition, each CD will contain all the essential tools professional financial planners need to operate a successful practice -- including client contact management, portfolio tracking and analysis, and seminar management aids.

SMMS also plans to include extensive multimedia training and tutorial material designed to help financial professionals use the product effectively and grow their business. Successful Money Management expects the software product will complement their very popular seminar programs and offer great growth potential for the company.

"We decided to go with Sight & Sound Software based on their unique combination of skills -- a mastery of the science of software development and their grasp of multimedia," said Doug Mortensen, SMMS manager of product development.

"This project involves much more than just repackaging. We needed to work with a company that could take our extensive knowledge and expertise, integrate it into a tightly linked suite of software applications and make it easy for financial planners, stockbrokers, and life insurance agents to use," he added.

"We are very excited about our relationship with Successful Money Management Seminars," says Mark Tilden, Sight & Sound's vice president. "Successful Money Management brings to the relationship years of experience serving the financial planning industry. We're looking forward to helping them share that experience and know-how using this new medium. I think it has tremendous potential."
