June 24, 2008
Workamajig, (http://www.workamajig.com) , the leading worldwide software program for ad agencies and others in the creative and design industries, has announced an upgrade of its project management software, with new drag and drop capabilities in the online timeline and online Gantt chart, along with updates for Apple's latest Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.3.
The upcoming upgrade, due at the end of the summer, will feature new drag and drop capabilities in the online timeline and online Gantt chart. The new timeline features, integrated into the schedule screen, will allow users to drag and drop the timeline bars to easily reschedule projects.
The huge May update of the integrated Ad Agency system converted the system from Creative Manager Pro to Workamajig, and included a major foundation upgrade to its Ad Agency management software, addressing interface improvements based on months of research, client interviews and user feedback. While most of the improvements are in Flash, all of the improvements are a direct result from many man-years of research and direct client feedback from actual users of the Creative Management Software.
"This upgrade takes advantage of the May foundation upgrade, which was the most important step in the development of our ad agency software," touts Ron Ause, Workamajig's director of marketing. "Our clients give us tons of feedback. Now that the foundation for future improvements has been create, we're continuing to add more of the features that they've asked for, in the GUI that they love. Over the next 10-16 months we will continue to update each area of the system and address the feedback that we continue to get from our clients as each new section is rolled out."
Workamajig also boasts a new and improved staff resource management capability adding the ability to view future resource load by day, week, or month. With the new flash redesign it is significantly faster and easier to identify future resource bottlenecks and to reassign tasks to resources that are available - improving on-time deliverables and making it a breeze to prepare realistic and attainable client schedules.
As always with Creative Manager Inc.'s products, no installation or conversion are necessary, and all updates are at no cost to the over 18,000 users of Workamajig. All client logins and vendor logins are always free.
"Project management for creative firms is not inherently simple," said Ause. "It's our job to make the creative firm at ease with project management. If our years of industry experience can't increase the profits of our clients, then we should be in another business."
Workamajig continues to invest, adding new features that work with Apple's latest Mac OS X Leopard Unix-based Operating System and Microsoft Windows.
All updates are deployed using Workamajig's own Auto-Updater, which allows them to deploy updates to all hosted sites, and to clients' servers at any time. Repeating his refrain, Ause says, "We can deploy a change to the program in hours - even minutes! Our competitors take months or years to get to their list. 'We're Always Listening!'"
