Corporate Background

Serving the Investment & Insurance Industry for Over 20 Years

Overview

Softext Publishing Inc. was established in 1987 as a software development company focusing on the insurance and investment industry. During the last twenty years we have offered administrative management systems for investment companies, fund dealers and insurance brokers first under the name of Wally, secondly Axis and now 1-Stop. All aspects of these products including system design, programming and documentation have been completed by our own in-house staff. Reliability and ease-of-use have been hallmarks of this system as well as very competitive pricing.

Softext has been involved in the development of data exchange standards used in the mutual/segregated fund industry now known as ESG (Electronic Standards Group) standards and used by virtually every fund company and the FundSERV network.

Over this period of time we have worked on several custom software projects.

We currently publish a wedding planning guide called Bride Canada and a guide to the use of descriptive geometry called The Handbook of Practical Geometry. We are responsible for all aspects of these books including the writing, publication, design, printing and distribution.

Our Philosophy

We believe a good software program is one that provides you with significant long-term benefits. Good systems are trustworthy, easy to use and reliable. Over time, their operation becomes second nature to users. We build these characteristics into our products. We constantly seek feedback from our system users and involve users in the ongoing development. We design to provide the best combination of features at an affordable price. In order to deliver on this promise we control all aspects of production. Our systems are designed, documented and supported by our in-house staff allowing us to respond quickly to changing requirements and technology, and provide ongoing improvements.
