With the philosophy to search technologies to take the information to the subscriber in the way most agile, by means of diverse ways, also the Internet, Agency Dinheiro Vivo proposed to participate of a Microsoft plain pilot to test Office XP. In June of 2001, the company, which makes analysis of the financial market for legal people and manipulates more than 15 thousand, spread sheets daily, joined to InfoServer for implementation of a new package of applications.

After a survey of that it was necessary to migrate for the new version, the installation of software was fast.

Smart Tags allow the journalist to choose the key words that uses constantly, from this selection, they appear in a blue text underlined. When passing mouse on them, a customized menu opens and shows all the information desired related to note. The word "Bovespa", for example, brings all the quotations: the current one and of the previous day, the highest and lowest etc. When typing "Copom", appears summaries of last minutes, descriptions of the Selic’s variations, dates of the next meetings, among others. This functionality represents a great economy of time for the journalists, whom they do not need to search daily all these data, in diverse sources.
