Original Press Release:


Creative Manager Pro Version 7.4


Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design firms, released today version 7.4 adding new features for Client Profit & Loss reporting, support for Safari 1.2.4 and iCal 1.5.4, and more.

Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., provider of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager, announced today the release of version 7.4, adding a new Excel Financial Interface, Client Profit & Loss reporting and upgraded support for the security enhancements in Safari 1.2.4 and iCal 1.5.4, among other upgrades.

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

With the new Excel Financial Reporting, users don't need to export or import financial information. They create their own spreadsheets formatted the way they want, and the spreadsheet reads the financial data directly.

Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "The Excel Financial Interface is a hot feature that no other web-based Ad Agency Software solution can offer. Profit & Loss reporting by Client is accomplished from the General Ledger itself, and all the way through to Excel. Try that with any other solution!"

Building on their long string of successful monthly releases and in response to increasing demand for these new features, Creative Manager Pro invested heavily to add the new financial features.

When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "With the new security enhancements in Safari 1.2.4 and iCal 1.5.4, we're walking in step with Apple every step of the way!"

Additional enhancements allow users to schedule projects from the end date backwards, yielding a start date for the project.
