Introducing Omea Pro
Welcome to Omea Pro... a uniquely different and productive way to tame information overload and work with all that stuff on your computer! What exactly is Omea Pro? It's actually several things rolled into one.
It's a communications center:
Omea Pro is a unique "Personal Communications Environment". It
does away with the need for separate programs to handle different kinds
of communications such as e-mail, instant messages, newsgroups, and RSS
and Atom feeds, enabling you to work with all these different types in
one unified interface. But there's much more to Omea Pro than just acting
as a central communications depot.
It's an information organizer:
Omea Pro is also part information organizer... a "Personal Information
Environment", if you will. With Omea Pro you can organize the information
resources stored on your computer in ways that are meaningful to you,
rather than to your computer's operating system or some application program.
You can organize information in-flows according to your daily activities,
current projects, people you connect with, etc. You can create tasks from
incoming items and attach to them all relevant information of any kind,
stored anywhere on your computer or available on the Web.
If some information is relevant to more than one thing, you can link to it from multiple contexts and Omea Pro will find it when you work in any of them. Say you have e-mails and documents from your boss that relate to a project you are responsible for, and also to your supervision of employees. You can create separate "Categories" for your Project and your Employee Supervision activities, and also a custom "View" that shows all correspondence with your boss. You can create custom "Workspaces" that let you deal with any one of these as a separate context where you'll be able to quickly access the relevant resources. But there's more yet to Omea Pro.
It's a search engine:
No matter how well you organize your information, chances are in a few
weeks or months you won't remember exactly what it is or how to locate
it in your organization scheme. That's why Omea Pro is also part search
engine. Not for the Internet, but for your PC. Just as an Internet search
engine does for content on the Web, so Omea Pro indexes and cross-links
the content of your computer. That enables you to find everything on your
machine that relates to your search query regardless of when you received
it, where it's stored, or what kind of resource it is... a message of
some kind, a Web page, a newsgroup article , a feed posting, or a file
(stored locally or attached to a message). And searches are lightning
fast... no more wasted time while Windows tediously searches through every
file in every folder.
It's a web research tool:
Many activities today require people to collect, organize and share online information from many different resources — emails, feeds, news articles, files, websites…
Using Omea Pro's Clippings (excerpts of text for later reference), you can “cut” and save the pieces of information easily both from within Omea Pro and such web browsers as Internet Explorer©, Firefox©, and Mozilla©. Additionally, you can create bookmarks of web pages both in Omea Pro and web browsers.
After your collection of Clippings and web pages is ready or in the process of its creation, you can apply multiple Omea's organizational features to them — associate your Clippings and web bookmarks with one or several Categories, write notes on why you consider these items useful, and so on. And also share your Clippings with other Omea Pro users instantly.
It's all this and more...
So far we haven't touched on any of the many convenience and productivity
features found in Omea Pro... such as free-form text annotations, custom
cross-linking of resources, automatic, intelligent "see also" links to potentially relevant resources, shortcuts to resources you need
most often, and more. Everything fits together to deliver a smart, easy
to learn, easy to use solution for processing and working with electronic
information.
