Creative Manager Inc. (Creative-Manager.com), provider of Creative Manager Pro software, has announced local support for Australian and New Zealand-based ad agencies directly in Australia.

In the last several years, as the firm has risen to be the provider of the best-selling ad agency management software, local support has become more important to the growing world-wide client base. Now Creative Manager Pro's hosted servers are available locally to clients in Australia and New Zealand, with consultant support relocated to be more local as well.

"Ad agencies around the world are flocking to Creative Manager Pro, and we need to continue to support the the global community in the same way that our US-based clients have come to expect their superior support," boasts Ron Ause, Creative Manager's director of Marketing. "We're stubborn! Our whole reason for existing is to respond to our clients' needs!"

Along with the local server support, consulting support has moved into Australia in the form of the firm Software Downunder, located in Elanora in Queensland. More information can be found at www.creativemanagerpro.com/articles_55.asp.

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.

"Rondelle Taylor, president of Software Downunder, is excited to mover her support network to Australia. The Software Downunder team has been a remarkable asset to the Creative Manager Pro family of clients." 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.
