(<a href="http://www.CreativeManagerPro.com" title="http://www.CreativeManagerPro.com">http://www.CreativeManagerPro.com</a>) provider of Creative Manager Pro and<br />
Creative Project Manager, has released version 8.0, with improvements to<br />
traffic management. This month's list of enhancements is focused squarely<br />
on enhancements requested by users of the company's flagship products.</p>
<p>With its version 8.0, Creative Manager Pro has added a new screen to the<br />
traffic management tool that now shows task deadlines across multiple<br />
projects in an easy to read grid view. Traffic Managers will more easily be<br />
able to adjust schedules, reassign work, and stay on track with multiple<br />
projects.</p>
<p>No installation or conversion will be necessary, and the update is free to<br />
all users of Creative Manager Pro and Creative Project Manager. All client<br />
logins and vendor logins are free.</p>
<p>Creative Manager Pro's media module has been greatly enhanced with a new<br />
and easier way to track and bill orders. Media orders no longer have to be<br />
tied to a job or task for billing. The invoice format options have also<br />
been modified to offer every conceivable way to group and report media<br />
bills to clients.</p>
<p>Setting up Creative Manager Pro has never been easier. Set up screens have<br />
been organized into multiple areas guiding new users to ten simple screens<br />
needed for basic setup. The default data set has been improved and the firm<br />
continues to expand on the library of on-demand flash training videos. To<br />
accompany these changes is a new implementation guide to step help get new<br />
users up and running quickly.</p>
<p>Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "Our<br />
clients came to us with their list of requests, and today's release is our<br />
answer to them. Over 65 enhancements just for them. We're Always Listening!"</p>
<p>Creative Manager Pro continues to invest, adding new features which work<br />
with Apple's latest Tiger Mac OS X Unix-based Operating System and<br />
Microsoft Windows. Further details of the update may be found at<br />
<p>Accounting functionality in Creative Manager Pro also continues to improve<br />
with the addition of reversing journal entries, credit card processing, and<br />
new expended hierarchy of reporting by Parent Company ) Client ) Division )<br />
Product. Income statements can now be run by a range of classes, and the<br />
mass billing function can now automatically generate one invoice for<br />
multiple projects.</p>
<p>When asked about the new upgrade, Ause said "When it comes to accounting<br />
for the numbers in a creative firm, we continue to pour our resources into<br />
helping our clients grow. When they are able to view their numbers, ratios<br />
and metrics as they grow, planning for growth becomes second nature."</p>
<p>Creative Manager Pro goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management,<br />
CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet<br />
capabilities.</p>
