Original Press Release:
Creative Manager Pro Version 7.8
Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design firms, has released version 7.8 adding Automatic Staff Assignments, integration of Purchasing directly from Estimates, and support for Mac OS X Tiger.
Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., provider of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager, has released version 7.8 of its flagship product, adding over twenty-five enhancements within the flagship Ad Agency Management system, including Project-based P&L reporting from within the General Ledger.
No installation or conversion will be necessary, and the update is free to all users of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager. All client logins and vendor logins are free.
With its version 7.8, Creative Manager raises the bar for traffic/project management systems by adding automatic assignments and allocation of hours. All a traffic manager needs to do is pick the team that he wants on the job and the system does the rest. The skills needed for each assignment type are matched to the skills of the team members chosen and viola the project schedule is ready to go.
Estimating has always been a forte of Creative Manager. In this new release, all expenses in an estimate are fully integrated through to purchasing. Users can quickly and automatically generate purchase orders from estimates with one button.
Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "After last month's successful rollout of the new client presentation features, we're excited to present the new Automatic Staff Assignments functionality. Our updates are always based on user-feedback and requests, as we continue to invest in our clients' future."
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 for Mac OS X Tiger continues in that tradition. Further details of the update may be found at http://creative-manager.com/PressRls_050509a.asp.
Expanding on its commitment to excellence in accounting, Creative Manager adds the ability to generate P&L reports by project, directly from the general ledger. Company expenses such as payroll can now be automatically reclassified to projects, and users are now able to enter journal entries by Project ID to record accrued expenses to a project.
When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "We've stopped our competitors in their tracks. In head-to-head comparisons, we continue to come out on top. Why? Because, when it comes to our clients, 'We're Always Listening!'"
