Creative Manager Pro easily overcomes the challenges that your department faces in planning project tasks and assigning them to your staff . Visual Gantt charts and calendars allow employees and managers to review staff assignments at a glance. Access can also be granted to those outside of your department at no additional charge to allow those using your department's resources easy access to project status. They only see the project information that you choose. Your most important asset is the people you manage. Now, managing staff resources couldn't be easier. Creative Manager Pro provides you with the resource management tools that permit you to spend less time in production meetings and know at-a-glance who is available to take on more work. It will ensure you maximize productivity to ensure an even flow of work at all times.

Your department's projects begin when another in-house department requests a new project. Rather than wait until a project request reaches you via internal snail-mail, Creative Manager Pro allows your in-house clients to request new projects that you'll then convert into the new projects. These powerful features allow you and your clients to view the project at all stages- even before it's a project - and allows you to be better prepared for your upcoming jobs. Creative Manager Pro allows you to add an unlimited number of client-department passwords into the system, giving your most important supporters front door access to enter new requests, modify pending requests, review the progress of projects, monitor project schedules, and more. All at no additional charge. You determine how much detail they see, which projects they can analyze, and which calendars they can review. With the access that you will provide your client-departments to their projects, they'll know that you are keenly interested in their success and the success of the firm as a whole. Only Creative Manager Pro allows this unlimited access to the system for outside departments, simultaneously fulfilling both yours and their needs.

Presenting your work to outside departments can often meet roadblocks and slow progress on a project. Meetings are scheduled, cancelled, or postponed-delaying their review of your current status and sign-off to the next step. With Creative Manager Pro, you can publish your creative work on-line and route files for internal distribution and review. They can also be routed for external review with client-departments and outside vendors. Free client access allows any number of outside users to review and comment on the work that you have done to date. Version control allows you to manage the latest version of your creative work, or return to previous versions. Extensive file search capabilities enable you to quickly find specific documents you may need for client review. Automatic email notifications provide you with an easy way to know when that document that you're waiting for has been updated.

Manage Return on Investment - Setting goals and managing progress towards those goals is a formula that leads to success. Since you cannot manage what you don't measure, Creative Manager Pro incorporates industry standard metrics directly into the system, enabling you to easily manage your staff efficiency. The ROI Analysis tools provided by Creative Manager Pro give you the confidence that you need to prove the value of your department within the organization. You know the benefits of using your internal department for creative work versus sending the work to outside firms-but can you explain it to others in your organization with the data to prove it? Productivity Tracking enables you to show efficient completion of projects efficiently, justifying the large budgets allotted to your department. On Time Delivery Tracking presents your department's responsiveness to the deadlines of your in-house clients. Can an outside creative firm match your responsiveness? ROI Analysis, Productivity Tracking, On Time Delivery. Creative Manager Pro is the only product that defines those benchmarks, calculates your progress against those benchmarks, and presents your progress in a graphical manner. As you measure and manage the metrics that Creative Manager Pro provides, you will slowly grasp the power of mastermindingly being able to manage the numbers, like the baseball managers of yesteryear. In the end, it's a numbers game, and those that watch the numbers, will win!
