Download SUNRISE Contacts 2009 for Mac - Contacts and information management software. MacUpdate Mac Personal Info Managers Software Downloads

SUNRISE Contacts 2009 is a powerful contacts and information management tool designed on the world-class FileMaker Pro runtime platform (ie. you don't need FileMaker Pro to run this software). It includes unlimited storage for all info types including web/email/mailing addresses, telephone numbers, notes, photographs, movies and documents for each and every individual and company contact you have in every record. Comes with calendar, memos, messages, todo items, photos, labels (business cards, name tags, CD/DVD etc), and much more. Add unlimited numbers of lookup databases to suit your specific business or personal requirements. Ready-made lookups available or suggest your own.

Version 2009 2.8.4:

Optimised postcode lookup script code and relationships (moved away from the old structure developed during the FileMaker Pro 6 classic days) for faster lookups and easier to add more country-specific postcodes in the future. Removed Code field.
Pop-up tooltips for Paid and Unpaid amount descriptions gives details of product (or bill), quantity and invoice number. Clicking on the descriptions will take you to the finance layout containing the full details for the correct invoice number.
Added currency symbol field to allow users to see the amounts in the Paid and Unpaid Calendar tabs corresponding to the currency chosen.
Rebuilt calendar interface design. Made calendar print out work for memos, messages and to do items.

SUNRISE Thank you for briefly reviewing SUNRISE Contacts 2008.

It seems after listening to your comments that compared to other address books made with FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access and even some commercial CRMs by other developers, that our UI design is basically at the bottom of the pack. This certainly differs markedly from comments by other users who have been pleased with the UI design. At any rate, we will endeavour to improve the product to meet any requirements or suggestions you have.

For example, you mentioned the Mac UI and how you would like any Mac software product to conform to Mac UI principles.

Without trying to justify our UI design, we strongly encourage you to send us specific details of areas in our UI design that you would like to see different. In fact, if you give us enough information (with examples) and the reasons are valid and sensible, we will be happy not only to make those changes, but we would be willing to give you a full working version of the product to keep if you like.

If we don't hear from you again, thanks for at least downloading and looking at our product, even if the UI design does not quite meet your needs at this moment in time.

FIGMAN04 Ok...we are all looking for a great mac CRM...true CRM....not a sort-of CRM...

Bring it on Sunrise and you could be just that...what we need is...

I took your survey...but wanted to say more!

2. Full Integration with iapps (that way we have iphone integration built in)

3. COMPLETE upward flow of ALL relationships (if I have a contact..I want toknow everything they are involved in)

4. A calendar with Tasks on tha actual calendar not next to it

5. True sales flow with follow-up dialogues

As a matter of fact...if you would invest $100 and run ACT! on a pc...learn what it does...and then take your program and mimic ACT!'s style and then make it mac-like...believe me you would be RICH!

SUNRISE Thanks for reviewing SUNRISE Contacts 2008.

We understand from your comments how you would like to see a better UI design (your number 1 suggestion).

Because we like to improve SUNRISE Contacts 2008 and push the boundaries of what is achievable in CRMs using the FileMaker Pro platform, we welcome not only your comments and wish list but also any specific suggestions and examples you may have on how to improve the product.

For instance, would you like to see the buttons designed differently? Do you want the Aqua-look, or something else? Do you want to see pictures/icons in the buttons? Are the colours for the fields and fonts suitable?

To give you an example, we have noticed how you were not able to see the "tasks within the calendar" layout. We suspect this could be because the layout navigation buttons are small and you weren't able to see them clearly. If this was the case, we will consider the menu commands "Previous layout..." and "Next Layout..." as an alternative to the layout navigation buttons.

Do you have other ideas for a better UI design? Send them through.

Who knows? You may even earn yourself a free copy of SUNRISE Contacts 2008 for you to keep.

We will also keep in mind your other comments and stay tuned....SUNRISE Contacts 2008 can only get better from here on end.
