Creative Manager Pro Announced Version 8.4.05 with More Support for iCal, Outlook, Mac OS X Leopard

Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design firms, has announced version 8.4.05, with support for Apple’s iCal, Microsoft’s Outloook, Mac OS X Server, and Apple’s upcoming Mac OS X Leopard.
Anthem AZ – March 6, 2007 – Creative Manager Inc. (https://www.Creative-Manager.com), provider of Creative Manager Pro software, has announced version 8.4.05 of its flagship product, Creative Manager Pro®, due by the end of March.
The integration with Apple’s Mac OS X iCal and Microsoft’s Outloook allows users of Creative Manager Pro to send calendar meeting requests, even to those who are not using Creative Manager Pro, and have the invitation show up in the invited person’s Apple Mac OS X iCal or Microsoft Outloook calendar.
"Integration with outside systems is an important features that our Fortune 500 clients have asked for. This new release beats our competitors on yet another feature," boasts Ron Ause, Creative Manager’s director of marketing, "proving once again that we continually respond to our clients’ needs."
These new integration capabilities allow users of Creative Manager Pro to interface with more outside users, and brings Creative Manager one step closer to emulating the calendaring capabilities of Outlook and iCal.
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.
"This new version is the best of both worlds. The goal is to create the best of breed system in all areas, but have it integrated to run the entire business. Since most people love iCal and Outlook, we have done a lot to match their capabilities and this is one more step in that direction," 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 "Since so many of our clients service Fortune 500 firms, or are themselves Fortune 500 firms, the addition of the iCal and Outlook integration is a high priority. Our dedication to keeping our products as up-to-date as possible, and the fact that, with our service, it takes only hours to fix problems that with our competitors takes months, has caught the attention of our clients, 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. "Try doing that with Advantage software or Clients and Profits and see how far you get!"
