Northborough, MA, November 15, 2002 - ei software, inc. today announced the release of the Clopay Door Imagination System, a photo-realistic visualization software package designed specifically for Clopay residential garage door dealers. Clopay DIS was designed and developed by ei software in cooperation with Clopay Building Products of Mason, Ohio. The DIS software allows Clopay dealers to image their entire line of residential garage doors and windows on actual photographs of their client's home.

ei software's door creations technology is the first in the industry to utilize photo-realistic imaging techniques on any original image. Doors can be imaged on a photograph taken by the sales person, or supplied by the customer. Images can be from a digital camera, CD-Rom, or a desktop scanner. Once the photograph is in the computer, ei's software allows any number of doors to be placed over the original photograph.

Users of the software can interactively select and change the door product line, panel style, window style, color, and placement. Doors can be placed in correct perspective to the original photograph. Doors can be painted factory specific colors, or they can be painted any color that exists in the photograph. This allows clients to see what their doors will look like if painted an existing siding or trim color.

All of these unique tools allow the sales professional to display all possible options to the client. Clients receive the benefit of seeing different designs placed on a picture of their home. When a preferred style is selected, the image can be printed in a pleasing before and after format. Images can also be saved for later use, placed on a web site, or emailed to clients.

Michael Brunzell, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ei software, said, "Clopay dealers are going to find numerous benefits from working with the Door Imagination System. Our software allows them to make dynamic and effective presentations that sell more doors and windows. Clopay understands the value of a powerful sales presentation, and has been actively engaged in helping us create the ideal product for their dealers."

The purpose of the software, as with all of ei software's products, is to increase sales of the displayed products. ei's door creations technology increases the sales of high end panel and window options by showing potential clients the visual benefits of selecting finer options. Seeing the product imaged on their home has a much stronger effect on the client than simply seeing a printed brochure or a sample door in a showroom.

Clopay Door Imagination System software is sold directly by ei software for $495.00 per copy. Dealers can visit the Clopay product page on ei's web site and order via their secure site, or call 1 (800) 405-5104 to order a copy.
