Original Press Release:


Creative Manager Pro to Add Improved Security Features, Updates for Mac OS X 10.3.8


Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., provider of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager, announced the upcoming release of version 7.5.1 in early March, adding enhancements to core features to more easily manage Estimates, Change Orders, Approvals, and other key areas within the flagship Ad Agency Management system. Additional support for Mac OS X 10.3.8 will also be available.

No installation or conversion will be necessary, and the update is free to all users of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager.

Using the new features, users will be able to create Multiple Quantity Estimates, which are key to print projects. Users will also more easily be able to issue Change Orders for current projects. To enhance security, more advanced password encryption will be built into the product, and user id's will be disabled after three failed attempts at logging in.

Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "The new security features were implemented because of our involvement with high profile, Fortune 100 clients, who need additional security for their corporate data. Working closely with their technical security teams, we've developed more advanced security techniques than most large firms will ever need."

Building on their long string of successful monthly releases and in response to increasing demand for these new features, Creative Manager Pro continues to invest heavily to add the new features which work with Apple's OS X Unix-based Operating System and Microsoft Windows. This month's update continues that tradition, following closely on the heels of Apple's new Mac OS X 10.3.8 update.

When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "We continue to invest our growing resources back into the product. Our clients are seeing the fruits of their investment is us. We're Always Listening!"
