Ami

Encyclopedia : A : AM : AMI : Ami

Ami was the name of a word processing program marketed by Lotus Software in the late 1980's. Shortly after its introduction, the name of the program was changed "AmiPro."

AmiPro was a significant competitor to Microsoft Word and WordPerfect Corporation's WordPerfect during the late 1980's and early 1990's. AmiPro had a look and feel that was similar to the Windows versions of those two competing products. The developers of AmiPro introduced a number of innovations in AmiPro that were later adopted by other Word Processers.

At the time that AmiPro was introduced, the word processing market was dominated by WordPerfect. Both AmiPro and Microsoft Word made inroads into WordPerfect's market share. Eventually Microsoft Word overtook WordPerfect as the dominant player and AmiPro was discontinued. IBM, the present owner of the Lotus mark, has replaced it with Lotus Word Pro.
