Creative Manager Inc. , (https://www.Creative-Manager.com) provider of Creative Manager Pro software, has announced version 8.4.2 of its flagship product, Creative Manager Pro. Expected in early May, the focus this month is on graphical calendaring.
After last month’s integration with Apple’s Mac OS X iCal and Microsoft’s Outloook, Creative Manager Pro turns it attention inward to allow the user to see a graphical representation of the project schedule across the entire firm
"For the past few months, we’ve been focused on integration with outside systems, because those were important features that our Fortune 500 clients asked for. This new release now adds more features to our own internal calendar," boasts Ron Ause, Creative Manager’s director of marketing. "We’re stubborn! Our whole reason for existing is to respond to our clients’ needs!"
The new graphical calendar allow users of Creative Manager Pro to see all projects on one calendar view, and gives users the ability to color-code projects for effective presentation and quick review.
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.
"Our users told us how much they love the Creative Manager Pro calendar – it’s so important to their daily work flow. As simple as it sounds, listening to our clients is what we do best," 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 these new features was an important 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.
