FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego, CA – May 22, 2007 - Productive Computing, Inc., a Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance, announced the release of Core² CRM for FileMaker Pro. Core² CRM is the perfect multi-user, cross-platform solution for getting your company's data centralized, organized and secured.

Built using the award winning FileMaker Pro database engine, the Core² CRM allows you and your entire organization to intuitively manage all your company and individual contacts, letters, faxes, and e-mail correspondence history, group calendaring, employee task lists, letter and e-mail campaigns, notes and associated documents.

• Pre-programmed to exchange contact, mail, tasks and calendar data with Microsoft Outlook, contact data with QuickBooks, and contact data with the Macintosh OSX Address Book.

• A more advanced tab interface using the tab interface tool introduced in FileMaker Pro 8 which simplifies layout management and makes it easier to add custom modules to the system.

• New schema provides improved functionality for databases where contacts are person/individual-centric while simultaneously offering enhanced organizational/company-centric functionality.

• Flexible linking between individuals and organizations, including individuals to individuals, individuals to multiple organizations and organizations to organizations.

• Track an unlimited number of Internet-type addresses (e.g., web, e-mail, AIM, Skype, etc).

• Track all correspondence (e.g., letters, faxes, e-mails, notes, tasks, and calendar events) in one portal with filtering.

• An intuitive menu bar for navigation throughout the system in addition to an updated interface design.

• Enhanced correspondence-based activities and mail merge functionality.

• Enhanced mail campaign management.

• New import function accepts a standard delimited file making the process of importing from other systems quick and flexible while properly linking related information.

• Optional modules such as project management and invoicing are available for further customization and expansion.

“This vastly enhanced customer relationship management solution leverages some of the newest features of FileMaker Pro which increases the flexibility, expandability and usability of the solution for end users as well as other developers who customize the Core² CRM for their own customers. In addition, it extends the reach of FileMaker Pro to coordinate and work with other popular desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, QuickBooks and the Macintosh OSX Address Book to provide a completely centralized and organized solution.” – CFO, Keith Larochelle

A site license of Core² CRM is priced at $349.95 and can be bundled with discounted copies of FileMaker Pro licenses. Reseller program available.

I have to tip my hat at these new releases I Got to see a live demo of the New Core2 CRM at last Month's Pug meeting. It is an excellent choice for any one needing a contact management system.

My other favorite is the File Manipulator Plug in works perfectly. I love the fact that when creating a file multiple levels deep it will auto create all the directories in that path if they don't exist!

My next adventure is the FMBooks Connector... :
