Next Workamajig Includes New General Ledger Functions

Workamajig, formerly Creative Manager Pro, the leading worldwide software program for ad agencies and others in the creative and design industries, announced that its next version will include New General Ledger Functions, including Cash-Basis Financial reporting and Support for Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7.
Highlighting Workamajig’s full range of functionality, Workamajig will soon be adding Cash-Basis Financial reporting to its General Ledger module, which is the last stop in the web-based project management software. Even though all of Workamajig’s General Ledger operates in Accrual, these new Cash-basis reports will be available upon request.
“Cutting costs in this economy is the new mantra. Workamajig spans the entire creative business”, boasts Ron Ause, Workamajig’s director of marketing. “From new business and sales leads to staffing and creative execution, all the way through a project’s cycle to accounting and financial reporting. Having everything all in one place is the key to streamlining the business, and cutting costs throughout the agency.”
This release continues to build on the major foundation upgrade that Workamajig made to its Ad Agency management software last year, addressing interface improvements based on months of research, client interviews and user feedback. As before, all of the improvements are a direct result from many man-years of research and direct client feedback from actual users of the Creative Management Software.
As always with Creative Manager Inc.’s products, no installation or conversion are necessary, and all updates are at no cost to the over 18,000 users of Workamajig. All client logins and vendor logins are always free.
“The level of investment and improvement that is constantly going into our web-based ad agency software beats our competition by miles”, says Ause. “We’re constantly improving its ease of use and intuitive functionality to make this the best Project Management Software on the market. Our competition seems to having nothing better to do than post phantom rants and anonymous posts on blogs, while we continue to look ahead at more growth.”
Workamajig continues to invest, adding new features that work with Apple’s latest Mac OS X Leopard Unix-based Operating System and Microsoft Windows.
All updates are deployed using Workamajig’s own Auto-Updater, which allows them to deploy updates to all hosted sites, and to clients’ servers at any time. Repeating his refrain, Ause says, “We can deploy a change to the program in hours — even minutes! Our competitors take months or years to get to their ever-growing list. ‘We’re Always Listening!'”
Workamajig goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management, CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet capabilities.
