Original Press Release:
Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design Firms, Announced Version 8.1 will Include Metrics from ReCourses, a QuickBooks Conversion Tool, Improved Support for Mac OS 10.4.2, Among Other Enhancement
Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., (http://www.CreativeManagerPro.com) provider of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager, is readying version 8.1 of its flagship products. The new version, to be available for users by November 30, will add a QuickBooks conversion tool, metrics from David Baker, and more.
The only system to go beyond the basics of job cost, time and billing, and accounting and provide meaningful analysis in a simple graphical format that is easy to understand. Creative Manager Pro now measures your business, reports when there are problems, and provides trending charts to show you if you are moving in the right direction.
You don't have to be a financial wizard to understand these metrics. The target acceptable ranges as defined by ReCourses, provide simple indicators to inform users of the firm's status, with trending data presented in simple colored graphs. Each of the metrics is explained in easy-to-read descriptions provided by the metrics author, David Baker of Recourses, Inc. (http://ReCourses.com)
No installation or conversion will be necessary, and the update will be free to all users of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager. All client logins and vendor logins are always free.
Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "Our clients who use the expert advice of ReCourses, Inc. asked us to include these important metrics as part of the system that they use daily. Since the ReCourses metrics work right from the numbers in our Creative Manager Pro, it was a no-brainer decision to include them. And our clients are happy, because 'We're Always Listening!'"
Creative Manager Pro continues to invest, adding new features which work with Apple's latest Tiger Mac OS X Unix-based Operating System and Microsoft Windows.
Creative Manager Pro continues to provide the best accounting solution on the market for agencies and creative service firms, with features specific to agencies like metrics from ReCourses, Inc., retainer billing, automatic accruals, WIP posting to GL, true P&L reporting by client/project/office/etc that include automatic overhead allocations and much more.
Further widening its accounting expertise, Creative Manger Pro has made it easier than ever to switch from Quickbooks, by providing a data conversion tool to automatically convert your beginning balance data from Quickbooks into Creative Manager Pro.
When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "Did you ever try to switch accounting systems? It could be a nightmare. I used to help clients do just that as a consultant, so I know about those conversions. Trying to reconcile and tie things out could be harrowing. Our QuickBooks conversion tool takes your QuickBooks data, and creates the starting balances automatically. It's a dream!"
Creative Manager Pro goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management, CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet capabilities.
