Using the new tool, Calendar and Contact information managed in the web-based system are easily shared with iCal and AddressBook on the Mac. And since iCal and AddressBook already work with Palm devices, Creative Manager Pro can be ultimately shared with these Palm OS devices.

Ron Ause, Director of Marketing, said “Since iCal and AddressBook are important components in Apple’s latest Panther OS, it is imperative for any Project Management Software for the Creative Industries to be able to work with them. Mac integration is a key feature that our clients have been excited over. The sharing tool in this release takes us one step closer.”

Available now, this update comes only three months after its recent 5.90 release allowing users to import Clients & Profits data or Adman data into Creative Manager Pro database. All users automatically get the new updates at no additional charge.

When asked about the new features, Ause said “Project management in the creative industry is key to a creative firm’s success. The full feature-set of Creative Manager Pro combined with the ease of use has no match on the Mac. With the additional integration with Apple’s OS X Panther, Safari, iCal and AddressBook, we continue to win over more and more of the creative community.”

Creative Manager Pro goes beyond costing to offer full Project Management, CRM, Digital Asset Management, billing and accounting, and Extranet capabilities.
