New Product Announcement SandIsoft, a Canadian software developer is pleased to announce a new business management tool, "Job Manager". Aimed at small business, Job Manager allows complete control over individual projects. Job Manager's approach is to break down a job into a set of tasks performed. For instance in the case of an advertising firm a simple set of tasks might be: Meetings Estimates Typesetting Design Photography Assembly Layout etc. up to 60 different categories can be defined for each job. Each category is then given an hourly rate, and two letter code. Job Manager uses these rates/codes to calculate billing-to-date on current jobs. At any time rate tables may be modified, jobs recalculated, and reviewed allowing accurate project costs to be calculated. Furthermore Job Manager's statistics mode allow jobs to be broken down, both by category, and by employee and analyzed for 'high cost' areas. Job Manager can also track inhouse changes, and client changes at different billing rates allowing complete control over billing practices. Developed original on older commodore products and migrated to the Amiga, "Job Manager" is a completely Amiga program supporting menus, hot keys, mouse, and all of the intuitive interface features the Amiga market has come to demand. SandIsoft develops primarily on the Amiga, for the Amiga. Job Manager is written entirely in 'C' for fast compact execution, and fully supports the Amiga's multitasking environment.
