Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design firms, has released version 8.4.3, with 52 enhancements in four key areas, and improved support for Mac OS X 10.4.9

Anthem AZ - June 12, 2007 - Creative Manager Inc. (http://www.Creative-Manager.com), provider of Creative Manager Pro software, has released version 8.4.3 of its flagship product, Creative Manager Pro.

Last month saw Creative Manager Pro improve its Ad Agency software internally and externally. Mainly its Fortune 500 clients, the internal improvements allowed the user to see a graphical representation of the project schedule across the entire firm. And externally, the Ad Agency Software expanded its server base to its Australian and New Zealand clients.

This month, Creative Manager Pro turns toward the list of requests by its growing roster of clients, and adds 52 enhancements in four key areas: Accounting, Project Management, Media and Reporting.

"While our competition is busy watching us, we're busy watching our clients," boasts Ron Ause, Creative Manager's director of marketing. "We Listen! When our clients say that they need something, we're there!"

The list of enhancements spans the gamut. For instance, Campaign budgets now have several new options for tracking actuals to the budget. You can now pull in actual figures by Item, by Project Type or you can specify which budget item each project goes to.

As always with Creative Manager Inc.'s products, no installation or conversion are necessary, and all updates are at no cost to users of Creative Project Manager and Creative Manager Pro. All client logins and vendor logins are always free. Further details of this month's update may be found at http://Creative-Manager.com/PressRls_070612a.asp

"As simple as it sounds, listening to our clients is what we do best.
Our clients continue to give us their requested changes for the Creative Manager Pro system - it's so important to their daily work flow," said Ause.

Creative Manager Pro continues to invest, adding new features that work with Apple's latest Tiger Mac OS X and future Leopard Unix-based Operating System and Microsoft Windows.

When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said, "Our Auto-Updater allows us to deploy updates to our hosted sites, and even to our clients' servers at any time. Have you ever had a software issue that took only a couple of hours to fix? This attention to detail, and the fact that our competitors take months (even years!) to get to their list, has caught the attention of industry, and has helped us grow through word-of-mouth. Like last month's update, this update is also based on user input. Because 'We're Always Listening!'" Ause said.

Creative Manager Pro goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management, CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet capabilities.
