Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software and Project Management Groupware for Creative and Design

Creative Manager Inc. (Creative-Manager.com), provider of Creative Manager Pro software, has released version 8.5 of its flagship product, featuring conversions of key features to Flash, Improvements for Financial Reporting, and updates for Mac OS X Leopard.

The last update of Creative Manager Pro optimized the Ad Agency software to best work with Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch. As the lightest computers running the Mac OS, the iPhone and iPod Touch are the perfect tools for the Ad Agency manager who needs to check on the work of the team.

By using the integrated Safari browser of the iPhone and iPod Touch, clients of Creative Manager Pro can easily review the status of projects and contact clients on the go. Designers and other staff can also enter timesheets anywhere they can get use the iPhone and iPod Touch.

"We're on top of technology, never behind it" boasted Ron Ause about the last update, Creative Manager's director of marketing. "And we make it work for our clients - not the other way around. We Listen! When our clients say that they need something, we're there!"

This month's update gives clients of Creative Manager Pro increases in speed and usability. By converting features from html to Adobe's Flash, the system is more intuitive, more responsive and easier to use than any other system of its kind.

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.

"Technology, implemented right can help you grow your firm by leaps and bounds," said Ause. "It's important to make sure that the people who've designed your software understand your business. Do you want geeks telling you how to run your business? Or consultants with years of industry experience?"

Creative Manager Pro 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 Creative Manager's own Auto-Updater, which allows them to deploy updates to all hosted sites, and to clients' servers at any time. Says Ause, "We can deploy a change to the program in hours - even minutes! Our competitors take months or years to get to their list. 'We're Always Listening!'"
