New Diary Software Enables Road Warriors To Keep In Touch Via Smartphone

A new software product released by Practice Net, a company with over 40 years experience in developing computer software, means SME's can now access their office diary by Smartphone and without the need for MS Exchange.

(PRWEB) September 12, 2007 -- A new software Diary (http://www.freedomfrompaper.com/10secdiary.htm) is helping business owners to maintain active control of their business, even if they or their people are away from the office. Now a remote user can make appointments for themselves and others wherever they are in the world.

Business owners will readily identify with these issues …

* Trying to manage a business with a paper diary, or worse with several paper diaries

* Using a software diary that only one person can access

* Multiple copies of the diary on individual PC's

* Downloading the office diary onto a Laptop and then finding that your copy is out of date before you leave the office

* The expense of the Blackberry and Microsoft Exchange solution for auto synchronization of diaries

* The need for an easy to use Business Diary that anyone can use

* Secure access so only authorised users may do so

Dale Rogers, CEO of Practice Net reveals that an audio/visual demo of the new software diary (http://www.freedomfrompaper.com/10secdiary.htm) provokes the viewer to consider how the Diary could meet the needs of the business and be more proactive.

Every business is different of course, reports Rogers, so the new software diary had to be flexible enough for the majority of businesses. Business types already using it include     Professional practices, Service Industries and SME's in general.

Benefits that users report include:

* Make appointments on behalf of others. For one or more people or a group.

* Send email invites to a meeting to confirm availability

* Set Alarms & Reminders to avoid being late for a meeting or forgetting altogether

* Set up Repeat Events such as maintenance schedules or regular management meetings

* Make private entries, for your eyes only

* Make customer memo entries that automatically pop up whenever the customer's folder is viewed. Typically useful if the account is on stop.

* A Two-way view so customer related entries can be viewed from the Diary or the customer's folder.

* An easy to use method of reporting that doesn't need a programmer and doesn't cost extra

* The ability to access the Diary from anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection

"The rationale behind the new software product, the Rapport Diary is its name, was to offer small & medium businesses a Diary that didn't need investment in new hardware such as Microsoft Exchange and Blackberry devices. And that met their varied needs including remote access," Rogers said.
