DESCRIPTION
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.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2009 2.9.5:
  • List of individuals associated with a company are shown in the full address book layout (also available in the Finance section).
  • Expanded address portals and added Google maps to show mailing address in the full address book layout.
  • Added table to see all the projects/events associated with a contact on or after the chosen calendar date.
  • Assigned To field placed in the Address Book list layout under Priority. Makes for a cleaner interface.
  • It has been noticed the design of the Address Book general layouts can be unified. We can keep the tab design or spread out the individual and company details and still look the same, as well as choose to show the company details on top or the individual details through the tab control. To achieve the same design, tab graphic elements were made transparent and adjusted various other elements to look essentially the same. This simplifies the number of address book general layouts significantly.
  • Grouped together printing survey results and placed into a dedicated labels layout.
  • Expanded category fields and made a specially dedicated category tab for more sophisticated groupings of records.
  • Some more interface improvements in other areas.
REQUIREMENTS
  • Mac OS X 10.3 or later
  • Windows XP/Vista version available at the SUNRISE web site.

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!

1. A better UI

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.
