Taras said that, of the key features of the word processor, eBook creation was added after a single request from one of the company’s customers. “With products developed by big companies, the decision-making chain is much longer, and for ordinary users, it is much harder to influence the product’s future.” “Users can speak directly to developers and significantly influence the project,” he said. To that end, Taras said the company prioritizes user feedback. Ultimately, Atlantis aims to offer a product so robust that it satisfies the needs of the broadest range of customers possible. “Before making a decision, users can look at the product from different angles without a rush.” “Our word processor is offered as a try-before-you-buy product,” Taras said. To allow customers to vet Atlantis before purchase, the company offers a free 30-day evaluation period on the fully functional product.
When choosing a word processing tool, Taras advises users to consider the look and feel, speed, customizability, compatibility, technical support, and update policies, among other aspects of the product.
“When there are so many options to choose from, even relatively minor features or other aspects of software can be a reason to switch to a different product.” “Users have a wide choice of word processing applications, from free to paid, stand-alone word processors to office suites, traditional software to SaaS,” Taras said. When Atlantis launched its software in 2000, few dared to compete with Microsoft Word. Now, as Atlantis prepares for its 20th anniversary, the company plans to wow customers with continued improvements over the next two decades and beyond.
Unlike larger companies, Atlantis has the freedom and flexibility to change its road map to better serve its customer base, whether that means adding new features or tweaking existing ones. Today, Atlantis has grown into a credible, standalone alternative for Microsoft Word that can be customized to the preferences of individual users. “The key is to explore traditional ideas from a different angle.” “There is always room for improvement, always things ignored or overlooked by others,” Taras said.
The team behind Atlantis didn’t want to create a Microsoft Word clone: It wanted to create something better. We believed that giving users more options was very important.” “Users did not have much choice but to stick with the few offered solutions. “Back in 2000, the market for office applications looked very different than now,” said Taras Push, Founder of Atlantis. Atlantis is a standalone word processor that’s affordable, feature-rich, and fully customizable.
