Third-party Press Release
Productive Computing, Inc. Unveils Two New Products at the Annual FileMaker Pro Developer’s Conference
The FM Books Connector plug-in provides FileMaker Pro users access
to every record and data field available in a QuickBooks company
file. Using this plug-in you can freely and easily
exchange data between these two powerful applications by simply
using a few script steps - none of which require any knowledge or
use of XML!
“The FM Books Connector plug-in has
significantly reduced the time and complexity of integrating
QuickBooks with FileMaker Pro solutions by eliminating the
requirement of programming SQL statements or XML as other
QuickBooks integration tools require. Our revolutionary
plug-in was designed to make the programmer’s job easier
and more intuitive thereby reducing the overall cost of a typical
QuickBooks integration for the customer and building loyalty with
the programmer.” – CEO, Marc Larochelle
The Core2 CRM covers all the basic needs of centralized customer
relationship management and can be used as a foundation for any
FileMaker® Pro 8 based system. Built from the
ground up in FileMaker Pro 8 native format, the Core2 CRM manages
all your contacts, individuals, letters, faxes, e-mail, activities,
notes and associated documents.
The Core2 CRM is the successor to the original
“Core” Contact Management Solution with some
major improvements and enhancements. Some of the
improvements that were included are:
- An intuitive menu bar for navigation throughout the system in
addition to an updated interface design.
- 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 whose
contacts are person-centric while simultaneously offering enhanced
organizational/company-based functionality.
- Flexible linking between individuals and organizations,
including individuals to individuals and individuals to multiple
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.
- Improved correspondence-based activities and mail merge
functionality
- Improved mass mail functionality
- New import utility accepts a standard delimited file, automating
the normally arduous task of importing contacts and companies. The
import routine properly links related information.
“This vastly improved customer relationship management
solution leverages some of the newest features of the FileMaker Pro
software which increases the flexibility, expandability and
usability of the solution for our end users as well as our
resellers who customize the Core2 CRM for their own
customers.” – CFO, Keith Larochelle
