Original Press Release:
Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design Firms, Released Today Version 7.4.5
Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design firms, released today version 7.4.5 adding new features for calculating project milestone dates, support for Mac OS X v10.3.7 and iCal 1.5.5, and more.
Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., provider of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager, announced today the release of version 7.4.5, adding features for calculating project milestone dates using the projects end date and upgraded support for the security enhancements in Apple's new Mac OS X v10.3.7 and iCal 1.5.5, 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.
Using the new features, users can now select the Scheduling Direction and choose to either calculate the milestone dates from the Project Start Date or from the Project Completion Date. Additionally, back end of the CM Sync interface with iSync, iCal and AddressBook has been upgraded to integrate with the enhanced security features found in Mac OS X v10.3.7 and iCal 1.5.5.
Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "The new milestone calculator comes on the heels of the Excel Financial Interface, and the new Profit & Loss reporting by Client, which we released last month. Our competition is having a hard time catching their breath - just to stay lengths behind us!"
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-bases Operating System.
When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "Working with Apple is an important part of our corporate direction, and our software's future.
Apple's insight and input into Creative Manager Pro has been invaluable. We only have praises for the Apple team, for their new security enhancements in Mac OS X v10.3.7 and iCal 1.5.5, which work in tandem with Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager."
This month's enhancements allow users to schedule projects from the end date backwards, yielding a start date for the project. Among other improvements, additional enhancements were implemented on the back end to improve user error messaging.
Creative Manager Pro goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management, CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet capabilities.
