Introduction

This document is intended to walk you through Aware IM in action to give you a feeling of what working with the system is like. You can simply read on or follow the material by reproducing it step by step in Aware IM .

We are going to use an intentionally simplistic example of an application to make the tour short. Naturally, Aware IM is designed to manage much more complex applications, which will be clear from reading further sections. The example of a more complex system is provided in the Configuration Case Study document.

Let us suppose that our hypothetical application should allow staff members of an organization to register and maintain various details about company customers. The system should automatically send personalized e-mail greetings to customers on their birthdays.

The following description assumes that Aware IM has been installed and the Aware IM Server has been started (see the Aware IM Installation Guide for details).
