Introduction

This document is intended to walk you through AwareIM 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 AwareIM.

We are going to use an intentionally simplistic example of an application to make the tour short. Naturally, AwareIM 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 AwareIM has been installed and the AwareIM Server has been started (see the AwareIM Installation Guide for details).
