From the documentation:
Today's organizations face an unprecedented volume of information in their daily activities. The challenge is clear; what's the best way to sift through this expanse in order to understand the critical issues and make the right decisions?
Traditional Executive Information Systems (EIS) attempted to solve this challenge by giving the boardroom an easy way of viewing critical corporate information with colorful graphs and menus. Unfortunately, to get your own EIS you had to be willing to spend a lot of money, be good at telling the future, and be willing to work with rather restrictive limits. Why? Because once traditional EIS is programmed and hardwired to show you certain information in a certain way, it was, to put it mildly, somewhat set in its ways.
Today, a new generation of technology- including advances in client-server computing, graphical user interfaces, and suites of cooperative desktop applications- makes possible a powerful new generation of EIS.
Rather than closed, expensive systems for the few, consider an EIS that delivers information in a flexible, graphical format to a large number of decision-makers throughout the organization- a cost-effective EIS that takes advantage of familiar applications on standard PCs.
This is the Microsoft Open EIS solution- the power and flexibility of mainline graphical applications of Windows™ and the Macintosh operating environments combined with special tools to create your own EIS.

An instructional video that teaches people how to use the new (at the time) Windows 95 operating system. The guide features the infamous Cyber Sitcom, an overview of the 25 new features, and a segment about the 20 most asked questions regarding Windows 95.
Welcome to the Microsoft Windows 95 Video Guide. This unique program will help teach you about the top 25 features of the new Windows 95 operating system.
Our guide is separated into three sections.
In section one, you'll get more than a few laughs as we present the world's first Cyber-Sitcom, starring two of television's hottest comedy personalities, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry. They'll be taking you on an adventure in computing that takes place in the office of Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Along the way, they meet a whacky bunch of propellerheads, and they're introduced to the top 25 features of Windows 95. The pace is fast and funny. But don't worry if you miss anything.
In section two, we'll take you on a step-by-step review of all the Windows 95 components demonstrated in section one. In just about 15 minutes, you'll get a close-up view of how to work in the Windows 95 environment, and will become familiar with the speed, power, ease, and compatibility of Windows 95.

Introducing Acrobat 4.o UPDATED
Includes Web Capture Module
(Pending Processing)
Another promotional video found amongst the noise, for Adobe Acrobat 4.0, with the Web Capture Feature. The film is © 1999 Adobe Systems, inc. But there are no other credits or identifiers for the film cast. The tape introduces you to Acrobat 4.0 and showcases features and stories from different file exchange and portability use cases.
The film is a great step back to the late 1990s workplace and how Acrobat used to fill a void needed in the early days of multiple office software and environments from legal to advertising. Users with different versions of Office programs from the same vendor had issues sharing files, and Acrobat aimed to solve that problem and even more. PDF files made work portable and play a pivotal role in today's online life; Acrobat still runs strong in multiple media fields today. This video is a tribute to when Acrobat was first getting its traction and proving itself in the workforce and the world wide web.
