We need complete software applications or technology pieces!

We are Amicus Software Brokers Inc.  and our business is growing!

We have two outlets for your software.  1) We can arrange to sell/license 
your software to another company or 2) We can help you begin marketing 
your software through several distribution channels. 

Better yet,  we do not ask for any money out of your pocket.  If we do 
not sell your product, we don't earn any money.   It is as simple as 
that.

Respond via e-mail if you have product you would like us to consider. 
kenthall@ix.netcom.com 

In that message please include:
Title of product
Platform  (we need MAC, Win 3.x, Win 95/NT, and yes even DOS)
Language written in (This will help us access its transportability, JAVA 
is hot!)
System requirements


If you would like more details concerning our needs and/or marketing 
methods please read on.

CATEGORY NEEDS:

We are looking for products in many categories including: Multi-Media, 
Reference, Small Office / Home Office, Games, Educational, Edutainment, 
Utilities, and more.


PLATFORM NEEDS:

DOS:  
You may be asking why we are still interested in DOS.  Well, we have 
contacts in the PDA market place that are looking for DOS applications 
that they can convert for use.  This could be a big market for about five 
years.  Additionally, Big Blue has announced the need for PC priced 
applications to run on the AS/400.  The AS/400 is a character based OS.  
We have contacts in that arena who can help convert and market 
applications on this platform.  Well established DOS applications could 
have a whole new life here.  These projects are long term. Finally, we 
have a company who will put new windows front ends on DOS applications 
and help market the upgrade.  
See: Specific Examples of Needed Applications later in this message.

WIN 3.x, 95, NT:
What can we say, these are the most popular platforms and we need lots of 
variety. 
See: Specific Examples of Needed Applications later in this message.

MAC:
While this is not our focus, many of our clients are looking for DUAL 
Media software.  We know that MAC programmers can easily produce this.  
We will consider any DUAL media applications.

MARKETING PLANS

We have two methods of marketing your applications/technologies.

1) Since we are constantly in contact with development companies we have 
compiled a list of their needs.  It's possible that we could match your 
software with their needs quickly.   But they do not move very fast, be 
patient.  In this arrangement our fee is 2.35% of the compensating 
contract that we negotiate for you. 

2) For completed applications that need a start or boost in sales, we 
have established some non- traditional channels of distribution.   Using 
these channels we can help get your project off the ground and running.  
For this market, we pay  10% of ESP as a developer's royalty.   After 
establishing a track record, we assist you in taking your product 
mainstream. 

None of the projects listed above happen over night.  This is not a get 
rich quick approach.  
We do not guarantee any sales until you have money in hand.  Our staff 
has over 30 years of combined experience in sales and marketing.  We have 
worked for software companies like IBM, WordPerfect, Claris and Apple.  
We now hope to work on your projects.

Please e-mail us to begin negotiations.

Sincerely,
Kent W. Hall            kenthall@ix.netcom.com
