Abstract: A system for private equity fund formation comprises an equity fund application and a memory configured to store fund documents. Access to the fund documents is managed by the equity fund application according to the status of a user as a general partner, an investor, or a placement agent, which is embodied in an authorization code. Fund documents are organized according to fund firm, fund family, and specific fund. The equity fund application includes an agreement engine that automatically creates agreement documents based on information entered by a user in response to a questionnaire. In one embodiment, the equity fund application and the memory are implemented in an application server. Users interact with the equity fund application in the application server via a network and an access server.

Abstract: A system and method for managing virtual connections between devices on a network system such as a LAN, or a WAN, with or without connection to the public network, including in some cases connection through the Internet. Specifically, the invention involves a computer program that includes a graphical map of a geographical site such as an office building that allows each user using the network to select an output device such as a particular printer and establish a virtual connection between the user's workstation environment and the output device. This invention may also include means to enable the users to easily manage their own printer connections on a complex network system, giving the user more control and reducing the workload on the Information Services staff.
