[ANN] Core4 - CRM Anywhere, Released for FileMaker Pro 12

[Productive Computing, Inc.]

San Diego, CA - July 13, 2012 - Productive Computing, Inc., a Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance, today announced the release of Core4 CRM for FileMaker Pro. The Core4 CRM is a strikingly efficient customer relationship management system that offers organizations shared user access and control over critical business data. This cross-platform business management tool includes a full suite of integrated modules to help organizations manage their business and direct their work flow. From initial contact with a potential customer, through the sales and estimating process, and finally to managing and completing successful projects, the Core4 CRM will help you and your team produce efficient and organized results for your customers time and time again.

Core4 was built with a your data anywhere philosophy by providing users with access into the Core4 system in a number of convenient ways. By installing the award winning FileMaker Pro 12 database engine, the Core4 delivers a feature rich user experience when being accessed via a desktop or laptop computer. Using the free FileMaker Go App provides remote tablet access via an iPad. Accessing Core4 CRM through a web browser provides additional access when users are on the go or have limited bandwidth. Using techniques now available in FileMaker Pro 12, Core4 has been heavily optimized for access across a Wide Area Network and the web.

Coupled with Productive Computing’s new FileMaker Pro database hosting and SaaS service, Core4 is launched as the first full-featured FileMaker CRM solution offered under an optional Software as a Service subscription model. Customers have the choice to make a traditional one-time purchase to run it on their own server, on one of PCI’s hosting servers, or to purchase a subscription to the software “in the cloud” for a monthly per user fee.
