Name: Jasmine Challenge: Being a history major means that Jasmine does a LOT of research for the many papers she writes. Unfortunately, she's still saving up for her own laptop. In the mean time, she switches between her dorm-mate's computer and the college's computer lab to write her papers. Jasmine often has to redo her research to document her references correctly, as her reference database always seem to be on the other computer. Jasmine is getting increasingly frustrated with redoing research as her schedule gets fuller as the year goes by. Solution: With EazyDatabase, Jasmine can access her past work on whichever computer she is using. Now she doesn't have to redo anything. EazyDatabase provides Jasmine with access to other history majors' research, thus saving her time to work towards that laptop.
Name: Joanne Challenge: As a writer, Joanne is always looking for that perfect word. She has a dictionary and a thesaurus permanently by her laptop, but the time it takes to look up a word breaks up her train of thought. Besides, they're too heavy to carry around.

Joanne writes better prose, in less time, with no reference books to lug around.

Name: Ashley Challenge: Ashley has crammed 6 courses into the second semester of her senior year. On top of that she is working part-time (20 hours per week) at a local restaurant. There is never enough time in the day for everything Ashley wants to do. Ashley has taken out student loans and money is tight, so Ashley doesn't have time to spend hours and hours writing her APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers. Solution: EazyPaper's perfect formatting has saved Ashley about 10 hours per APA, MLA, and Turabian term paper. It has also increased her average grade per paper by a full letter grade. Ashley writes about 5 APA papers and 5 MLA papers per semester so EazyPaper has saved Ashley about 100 hours per semester, and 200 hours per school year. She earns $5 per hour in the restaurant plus another $10 per hour in tips. Ashley is using the extra 200 hours EazyPaper has provided to work and earn another $3000. EazyPaper has provided Ashley with better grades, and more time to pay off her student loans.
Name: Justin Challenge: Justin attended a small rural school before attending his large university. His high school teachers didn't require APA, MLA, or Turabian formatting for his term papers. But now his university profs all require that he format his term papers in either APA, MLA, or Turabian style. Justin is still learning how to research and is struggling with formatting. More than anything he knows formatting his papers makes his head spin and frustrates him. Justin would love to finish his undergrad and pursue an MBA so grades are important, but he really enjoys hanging out with his friends playing basketball and PlayStation. Solution: Justin thought about buying the manuals for APA, MLA, and Turabian styles. But that would cost him a ton of money AND take him a full semester to read (check out these manuals at your bookstore they are HUGE). Instead of spending all that money and time on these APA, MLA, and Turabian manuals, Justin decided to get EazyPaper. After using EazyPaper for a semester Justin regularly received perfect grades for his formatting of APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers. His GPA was high enough to get him onto the Deans List, and he still had time to work in a weekly game of hoops with his buddies.
Name: Brad Challenge: Brad is always on the go. Brad's dreams of being a physician and he knows the competition is fierce. He also knows that his grades will be critical so he works hard. Brad loves to research when writing his APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers, but finds that there isn't enough time to make it to the library as much as he'd like. His schedule is pretty full and he's not sure what to do. Solution: Brad's dorm room is a fifteen minute walk to the library. 30 minute research sessions are impossible for his schedule. If he could find a way to access databases from around the world without having to leave his dorm room he could save a few hours every week. A friend told Brad about EazyLibary. Now Brad is able to do research in as little as five minutes. In fact, in his last “five-minute-research-session” Brad made a visit to the Library of Congress, and the libraries of Yale, Oxford , and Shanghai , and still had time for a cup of coffee. Better yet, Brad has learned that he can also search these libraries by topic, or author, or title. EazyLibrary brings back every book, article, journal written by and about his author. Brad has decided to use EazyLibrary as his database, saving all his research by topic. Brad's professors comment regularly on the quality of his research.
Name: Amanda Challenge: Amanda is in high school and has big dreams. Her grades are solid and she's hoping to be offered an academic scholarship to a state university. Her long-term goal is to be a securities lawyer and she knows that she'll need to do very well in her undergrad to make it to law school. She also knows that research writing will be important for her future profession as a lawyer. Although she's hoping to get a scholarship, she can't plan her future on it, so she's working part-time to save for university. She also plays on the school volleyball team, and volunteers three-hours a week with a local charity. She squeezes her homework in between all these commitments, so Amanda doesn't have a huge amount of time for extra school tasks, but she wants to be ready for university. Solution: Amanda let her English teacher know she wanted to work on her writing and formatting. Her teacher told her that EazyPaper could format her APA, MLA, Turabian term papers in a snap, and that she should use the extra time to work on refining her writing style. Amanda was amazed at how easy it was to use EazyPaper. She now uses EazyPaper for all her APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers and receives the top grades in her class for her papers. Her teachers comment on how professional her work looks, and how refined her writing is becoming. Amanda is looking forward to including her APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers with her scholarship application.
Name: Ruth Challenge: Ruth is returning to school after being in the workforce for many years. In her own words her return is “Exciting and petrifying at the same time”. Her biggest fear is that she won't be able to keep up with the workload. More specifically she's terrified by the strict writing requirements of the APA, MLA, and Turabian formats. Even during her undergrad years “formatting papers stressed me out the most, and losing grades because of picky profs frustrated me the most”. Solution: Ruth learned about EazyPaper from a fellow student. Since becoming an EazyPaper user, Ruth has seen her frustration decrease and her grades increase. Ruth has discovered that she's quite a gifted writer. Her gift of writing was always there but hidden behind a frustration of formatting. Ruth sums it up this way: “I can't believe I'm saying this but now I enjoy writing papers. I now realize my fear of papers was really a fear of formatting not a fear of failing. Thanks EazyPaper for a powerful piece of software that's easy to learn."
Name: Karim Challenge: Karim is teaching psychology at the state university satellite campus two nights a week. Karim's classes are packed with a mixture of traditional, mature, and student audits. As a result, the research and writing ability of each student is across the board. Karim dreads the thought of giving written assignments, as the thought of reading poorly formatted APA, MLA, and Turabian term papers drives him crazy. The university sent out a broadcast email reminding all professors to be on the lookout for plagiarism. Karim has been married for 12 years and has two children. He also has a full-time job in addition to his nighttime classes. Solution: Karim heard about EazyPaper from a colleague and quickly included EazyPaper in his course syllabus. Since adopting EazyPaper, Karim actually enjoys grading written assignments. Instead of focusing on the picky formatting details of APA, MLA, and Turabian, Karim can now focus his energies on helping students better understand and articulate their thoughts. This passion for learning is what originally attracted Karim to the teaching profession. EazyPaper has freed up on average an extra 3 hours per week that Karim uses to spend with his family. In addition, EazyPaper has significantly reduced Karim's concerns about unintended plagiarism.
Name: Terry Challenge: Terry has dozens of analysts providing her regular written reports. Terry has to aggregate and then parse through these reports. Her summary reports are critical to decisions made by Sr. government officials. Terry needs her field agents to professionally report in an efficient manner. The ability for all of her field agents to report accurately and on one universal platform are key. Needless to say, that given the important nature of these reports, the stress levels for Terry can run pretty high. Solution: Terry learned about EazyPaper as one of her field agents utilized EazyPaper for her monthly reports. Terry rolled out EazyPaper for one unit of her department, and after creating standard protocol, EazyPaper is used by all 200 of Terry's field agents. EazyPaper allows Terry to quickly aggregate and parse through the reports, and provides her staff with perfect output. EazyPaper has made Terry's department, and Terry herself more efficient.
Name: Nancy Challenge: Nancy is a very successful Department Head with many different staff reporting to her. Her schedules are very demanding and can change very quickly. The quick pace impacts staff and students, and communicating changes can be tricky. Nancy is always looking for ways to creative ways to communicate in real time with her students. Solution: Nancy heard about EazyPaper's message window from a former colleague at another university. Nancy loves the fact that she controls the one message window in the EazyPaper window rotation. She manages her message window independently and can change her message as many times as she likes. Communicating with her students during busy times in the school year has provided Nancy with one more valuable tool, and, because EazyPaper's message window is incorporated into MS Word, EazyPaper is always communicating even when students aren't writing a paper.
Name: Jaclyn Challenge: Jacyln is a law student and just heard a seminar about plagiarism. 10 students from a nationally recognized university were caught plagiarizing. It turns out the students were guilty of “unintended plagiarism”(plagiarism that occurs due to ignorance of correct formatting procedures). These students were put on probation and their academic records were affected. Jacyln is a little concerned because while she loves doing research, sometimes she forgets her source, but still wants to use that “killer quote”. She's pretty sure her formatting is acceptable, though she's never had perfect formatting grades. Jacyln would never plagiarize, as she's going into tax law and knows that a solid academic record is critical. Jacyln believes in being fair and honest, and wants to be able to correctly credit all her sources. Her time is limited and reading a 400 page reference work for APA, MLA, or Turabian on the proper formatting isn't possible. Solution: Jacyln learned about EazyPaper from one of her professor's course syllabi. She even took the time to thank her professor. Jacyln doesn't have to spend the $50 on the 400-page APA, MLA, or Turabian reference text, and she doesn't have to waste hours reading the text. Instead she's using EazyPaper. It cost her nothing to use, and her papers are perfectly formatted, and she knows that every source is properly credited. Jacyln's found another advantage with EazyPaper: She types in her footnotes as she's researching, and that way EazyPaper becomes her database. She creates a separate database for each paper. That way she can locate the information easily. When she's ready to write her paper, she simply returns to the EazyPaper database she's created, clicks enter, and the footnote and bibliography are instantly created. Jacyln doesn't worry anymore about unintended plagiarism.
