ContaX 1.5.2 Released

We released 1.5.2 of ContaX today. This is probably the last release prior to the MySQL Multi-User version which is due soon.

1.5.2 has the following updates:

  • User Interface Improvements and Chart Expand Capability
  • Database Layer Re-written with added MySQL Compatibility
  • General Performance Increase
  • Preferences Window Updated

The information below is repeated from an earlier post and answers some of the questions ContaX, the MySQL Edition:

ico_contax


We’ve been working hard on the Multi-User version of ContaX CRM recently. ContaX CRM has been a great success, people generally seem to like the simple approach to CRM and the interaction with the other R10Office products such as ooSooM and R10BatchMail.

However, the current version of ContaX works against SQLite which is a Single User database making ContaX CRM more suitable for Individuals, or the Self Employed.

A Multi-User version of ContaX CRM has always been on the cards but development has been accelerated due to the many requests from potential customers who desperately need an easy to use CRM package for their small business and they don’t want to spend the earth. In my opinion Mac users particularly have hardly any decent choices in this category of software.

There are three main areas that I am being regularly asked about concerning the Multi-User version of ContaX. How the pricing will work, Can I upgrade and what database(s) will be supported.

ContaX Multi-User Pricing

The licensing will be very simply a multiple of the Single User price and a one off additional fee of £100. For example, let's assume you require a 10 user license for ContaX.  ContaX retails at £44.  Therefore your price would be:

10 x £44 + £100 =  £540. This is a one off fee, there is no monthly charge.

Additional users would be £44. Licenses are 'Mix and Match' and will work on either Mac OSX or Microsoft Windows.

The combination of attractive pricing, simple licensing and easy to use but powerful CRM functionality means that when it comes to CRM solutions for the Small Business, there is no need to look anywhere else.

ContaX Upgrade to Multi-User

To upgrade from the Single User version of ContaX requires only that you purchase the Multi-User License. The program is the same whether you are Single or Multi-User.


ContaX Multi-User Databases


The initial plan was to make the first supported Multi-User database REAL Server from REAL Software. REAL Server is an incredibly easy to use, inexpensive and powerful database. Listening to our customers however has made us change our minds and put our development efforts towards making the first supported Multi-User database MySQL.

MySQL is incredibly popular, it has a lot of loyal supporters, a lot of expertise is available and best of all it is available free of charge. We expect MySQL support to be available within the next couple of weeks.

Additional database support, including REAL Server, will follow in due course. We are developing a powerful object oriented structure that will help us support multiple databases whilst refusing to compromise on speed or features. See my separate blog post for details.

Another Note from a Customer

Received from a Customer today Happy

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

' ... I purchased a Mac copy of R10Office yesterday for my own use.  I am a professor and the University at which I teach resides in the sad environment of the hard copy world. I have been trying diligently to demonstrate that technology can be user-friendly, cost-effective, and far more efficient than current practices.  After just one day with your product, I am convinced that it may be the tool that could change the system. In order to demonstrate the possibilities, I would like to purchase a second copy of the software for use on my UK  University computer.  My goal is to set up and use the program, then share the results with others who could either purchase the systems interdepartmentally or personally'

Note Taking and Filing with ooSooM

ooSooM our Task Manager and Secure Digital Vault software is perfect for capturing and filing notes and thoughts as well as for preparing and storing scrips as you create them, scripts such as blog posts, white papers and other forms of creative or technical writing.

There are several methods of doing this using ooSooM and our associated tools.

Method 1: If you are a Mac user then you can run the free software tool NanooSooM which comes with the Macintosh edition of ooSooM. NanooSooM can be launched automatically at system startup and is then available at anytime, anywhere using a Global Hotkey Combination (Shift + Alt + Return). NanooSooM will accept text input which can then be saved directly to the ooSooM Inbox. NanooSooM is perfect for capturing those sudden ideas quickly and easily without having to break your concentration.

nanoosoom1

Method 2: Another method is to use the free software Justwrite, available for download from the 'Free Software' section of the Arten Science website. JustWrite is available for both Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows. JustWrite is ideal for use when composing longer documents as it takes over the whole screen of your computer and has very limited features and functionality to get in the way of you releasing your creative genius. You can adjust the width of the text input area and change the font size, name and colour as well as the background colour and that's pretty much it, apart from the ability to save directly to the ooSooM database.

justwrite2

Method 3: You can of course enter text directly into ooSooM, either into the Inbox area, to be filed and categorised later, or directly into an existing Urgency, Type and Heading area. You can choose to enter directly into the main text input area, or alternatively use the 'Quick Item Entry' (Cmd / Ctrl + K) Window.

oosoompro3

ooSooM has many strings to it's bow. I hope this article on note taking, text input and quickly capturing ideas with ooSooM helps you better utilise our software.

*BLATANT PLUG* Don't forget that with the purchase of a low cost ooSooM Pro license your information can be encrypted and therefore safe from prying eyes, however you have chosen to enter it.

Product News ooSooM Pro Coming Soon

Product News: ooSooM Pro. Task Management and Secure Digital Filing.

Thanks to our customers ooSooM has been very successful. In only a few short months ooSooM has been registered well over 2000 times. It's great to know that so many people are using and enjoying the product.

ooSooM is available Free of Charge and we make revenue from the Encryption / Decryption security features that are enabled by purchasing either an R10Cipher or ooSooM Pro license. For those that don't want or need these features ooSooM is entirely free, with no strings attached.

As a registered user you may receive an email from us every few weeks telling you about the latest offers from Arten Science, but you can unsubscribe to that very easily, and you won't hear from us again.

I think any customer of ooSooM who has been using it since version 1.0 will see that the product is now far better and more sophisticated than those early versions, your feedback has been very positive.

Products have to evolve and change to improve and ooSooM is reaching the point where the features that we would like to put in the product and the features we are being asked for by our customers, as well as our commitment to the R10Office suite mean that the next version of ooSooM is no longer viable to be released as a free product. Developers also need to eat Happy The current free version however will remain supported for at least the next 12 months.

The next version of ooSooM will be called ooSooM Pro. Anybody with an existing ooSooM Pro license can use this license with the new product. In addition anybody with an R10Cipher license can apply for an ooSooM Pro license free of charge.

The cost of an ooSooM Pro license will increase when the new product is released, so if you are toying with the idea of upgrading to an ooSooM Pro license for ooSooM, you should do it soon while the price is still very low.

ooSooM Pro will offer a more complete, more reliable and better looking experience that the current version of ooSooM. Some of the features that we have either already completed or we have in progress or planned are:

Separate Journal Function
Multiple locations for Digital Filing
Encryption for the filed Documents
Recents Option
Tags and Tag Search
Tab Delimited and XLS Export
Attachment Names included in Quick Search
Post to Twitter
Text Processing Capabilities
Basic Project Management Capabilities


ooSooM Pro is going to be an exciting product for us, able to easily compete with our competitors. ooSooM Pro will also remain Cross Platform for Macintosh and Windows. Linux is also being considered, let us know if this is of interest to you.

ooSooM Version 2.2.0 Released

ooSooM is a Todo Management and Secure Digital Filing System for Macintosh OSX and Microsoft Windows. It integrates directly with other Arten Science products as part of the R10Office suite.

ooSooM is still available free of charge.


ooSooM 2.2.0
ico_ooSooM

Updates in Version 2.2.0

The Todo and Vault items can now be sorted by dragging and dropping the individual rows in the list. Each context has it's own sort order, so for example an item can be bottom of the list within the Urgency heading, middle of the list within the Type heading and top of the list within it's own heading category.

This functionality replaces the Priority dropdown menu from previous versions.
