Professional Creative Management Software
Creative Manager Pro, also known as Workamajig, is designed for creative firms, departments and ad agencies to completely manage finances and projects, including contacts, calendars, time sheets, billing, artwork approval, manage assets, calculate project milestone dates, and much more.
It integrates with Apple’s iCal, iSync and Address Book to allow use across local or wide networks, and you can schedule projects from the end date backwards, to determine a start date.
The interface uses a Web browser, to provide cross-platform use from anywhere. The server software can reside on your own server, or their Web server. There are many other features — I encourage you to take a test drive. Priced at $380 per month for ten users.
