class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/intro9.jpg" alt="pdf document management"/>The web has seen its fair share of href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/research-tools/">research-friendly tools grow over href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tech-fun/writing-a-research-paper-1990-vs-2010/">the past years, which makes sense, considering more people are actively engaging online, uploading documents and photos, publishing blog posts, and more, simply expanding online information. Among these tools, are some very popular services, including href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/diigo-write-college-essay-term-paper/">Diigo, the Firefox-only href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-share-synchronize-research-data-to-other-computers/">Scrapbook, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-ways-google-books-lifelong-learning-research/">Google Books, and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-make-use-of-research-feature-in-microsoft-word-2007/">other href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-tools-to-conduct-better-research-on-the-internet/">quality research tools, which can help you organize your findings when you href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/websites-to-help-you-research-or-buy-a-new-cars/">research for cars, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/where-to-research-material-for-your-homework/">for homework, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-websites-research-weird-science-claims/">for verifying or debunking science claims, and a whole lot more.

When you’re in the market for researching academically though, there are dedicated services that will definitely simplify your life. We’re not just talking about  bibliographic reference managers (such as href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-web-tools-to-save-your-butt-in-school/">BibMe) or href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/4-open-source-collection-manager-apps/">catalogue managers like href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/manage-your-games-books-dvds-and-audio-with-libra/">Libra, which help you keep track of your gigantic book, DVD, song, etc collection. What we will discuss are tools that help you keep your PDF article library neat and catalogued for use when you have to compose your research paper, so read on to find out which services stand out in this category.

href="http://www.mendeley.com">Mendeley [Cross-Platform]

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2011-06-19_050827.jpg" alt="pdf document management" width="580" height="492" />

Mendeley is a renowned scientific research management tool and academic social network that helps you index and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/organize-pdf-files-collaboratively-research-mendeley/">organize research papers and PDF documents into a personal digital library of sorts. Not only can you organize your PDF library, but you can also highlight and annotate your PDFs, as well as sync documents across platforms since Mendeley is available for download on Windows, Mac and Linux, and on iOS. Mendeley also has a great web app, which you can use to add notes to a PDF file, as well as edit metadata. What’s cool is that Mendeley extracts bibliographic information, such as PubmedIDs, from your PDF documents, which helps you keep a tidy personal database, complete with searchable information of many kinds.

href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero [Cross-Platform Firefox Addon]

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2011-06-19_131445.jpg" alt="manage pdf documents" width="580" height="632" />The open source Zotero not only helps you build bibliography and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/handy-tools-for-students/">keep track of your references, it also provides a place for you to organize your PDF article library. Like Mendeley, Zotero can href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/two-easy-ways-to-synchronize-zotero-data/">sync citations and entries across operating systems and mobile platforms. It also permits the user to bookmark, highlight and add sticky notes to pages, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/assemble-a-no-fuss-mailing-list-using-zotero-gmail/">assemble a no-fuss mailing list, index full-text from PDFs, etc. Zotero not only stores PDF files, it also can store files, images, links, and entire web pages.

href="http://www.debenu.com/benubird/overview.php">Benubird PDF [Windows]

Benubird PDF is part Windows Explorer shell replacement, part collection manager. You can use this program to group specific files into collections or even use the Smart Collection feature to automatically group files into virtual folders according to rules you set. By default, there are four empty collections ready for you to make use of, namely, Finances, General, Personal, and Work. You can also put files together into a zip archive from within this program and select specific folders to keep track (“Watched Folders”), as well as what files to show. In this screenshot, I chose to have Benubird monitor my Dropbox folder’s PDF files only.

class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2011-06-14_012905.png" alt="pdf document management" width="578" height="508" />

Filtering files of a certain format isn’t the only unique feature that Benubird possesses, as it also allows you to add tags to any file and edit the PDF details (metadata) without having to open up your PDF reader. Despite the fact that Benubird froze up several times during my test, it is a pretty robust tool to help you organize your PDF collection better. You should definitely check it out (or see the cross-platform href="http://www.mauropiccini.it/shoka/">Shoka, which is another PDF library manager) if you constantly deal with a huge collection of PDF documents.

If you’re just collecting PDF-based research articles, Mendeley and Zotero are probably the best choices to help you keep an organized library, as they also pick up bibliographic information. If you’re looking for just an easier way to manage your PDF documents only, try Benubird.

class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/191.png" />We highlighted a few great websites that facilitate meeting with your team members in href="www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-free-online-meeting-tools-collaborate-team/">our roundup, but the web keeps on growing, presenting us with handier web apps every time.

The field for project management is no exception. There are many more such applications to help you collaborate with your teammates remotely, like href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/visually-collaborate-group-projects-scrumy/">Scrumy and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/manage-and-collaborate-your-projects-with-officezilla/">OfficeZilla.

href="http://freedcamp.com/">FreedCamp is a project management web-based app much like the ones mentioned, but it aims to be a capable app with features compared to href="http://basecamphq.com/">Basecamp, the popular (mostly paid, with a very limited free account option) project manager.

id="more-66566"> /> Let’s examine why you should definitely consider Freedcamp for your next team project!

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/13.jpeg" alt="alternative to basecamp" width="579" height="308" />

FreedCamp Offers Unlimited Projects For Teams With Unlimited Users

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/10.jpeg" alt="alternative to basecamp" width="579" height="631" />

Not only does FreedCamp let you create unlimited projects and invite unlimited users, it’s also got plenty of useful features to get you started. Signing up can be pretty easy as you can sign in with Facebook instead of creating a new account.

After that, you can import your Basecamp project files, start creating projects, as well as joining a team member’s project. You can add to-do’s, start discussions, set milestones, keeping track of time spent in each task, share files (up to 20MB of storage for project owners), and get email notifications of new assignments and project member’s progresses.

You can also obtain an RSS feed to track your work progress and chat with your teammates via a Meebo toolbar, easily using your existing accounts.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/112.png" alt="basecamp alternative" width="456" height="676" />

The incredible thing is that it offers all of these features for free and won’t change in the future, as the website promises the $0 price tag will remain unchanged.

Check out the features in this quick video overview, which captures the main features of FreedCamp.

classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="349" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sNbDGcL9uCE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" /> name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sNbDGcL9uCE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">

Creating Projects & Seeing Their Progress In Your Dashboard

After you’ve created your account, you can make your first project, invite users, and set passwords for your project, which should enable anyone else who has the password to join your project after you’ve created it.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/121.png" alt="basecamp alternative" width="465" height="434" />

Like the news feed in Facebook, you can pretty much track what’s going on in your project by heading to the project dashboard. If you instead want a quick overview of all your projects, you can click on the manage projects button at the top right corner. You will then be able to perform edits on specific projects, whether that involves adding users, deleting the project altogether or deactivating it (which could be equivalent to archiving the project in question). You can also click on the dashboard button on the Meebo toolbar, which is a shortcut to the actual dashboard for all of your projects. /> Freedcamp lets you create groups which could be, for example, the subject class you’re trying to organize a study group for, while the projects themselves can be the individual assignments.

Creating To-do’s, Discussions & Milestones To Replace Back-and-Forth Emailing

You can easily create to-do’s in the to-do tab of the project dashboard. Freedcamp allows you to create tasks, assign them priorities and due dates, and delegate them to team members. The neat part is that you can drag the different users, due dates and priorities around to any tasks, as well as drag the tasks to the trash bin to delete them. It doesn’t get simpler than that.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/151.png" alt="basecamp alternative" width="580" height="548" />

The ability to create threaded discussions are probably a big reason to use a project management tool instead of regular email. You can create discussion groups to assign to each discussion so you don’t have to keep adding individual users every time.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/171.png" alt="alternative to basecamp" width="592" height="594" />

Creating milestones can also help get a better overview of major goals and their deadlines.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/181.png" alt="basecamp alternatives free" width="421" height="517" />

Overall, Freedcamp offers many features in a simple interface at an excellent price and should definitely be bookmarked. If you’re already using another great collaboration portal, let us know which one you’re using in the comments! />

class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Shutterstock-Piggy-Bank.jpg" alt="teaching kids about money" width="250" height="180" />To fill the piggy bank, it’s important to start early. A dollar doesn’t go far, but with some sound advice it can be stretched. Kids of today don’t need to understand how money can be spent, but they need to know how money works.

For parents to have a kid who is money-wise is a boon because it makes those save or splurge decisions easier to handle. There’s no right age for having that money talk with your kids. If he or she can spend or borrow, they sure can learn to save and invest. As a recent class="vt-p" href="http://blogs.reuters.com/prism-money/2010/12/03/why-having-the-money-talk-with-your-kids-matters/">Reuters article says, it’s important to start early because by the time your child reaches high school, their money habits are already forming.

So, the buck stops with the parents. Start the money education at the dinner table or take the help of these interactive websites that impart financial literacy in a fun way.

id="more-63361">

class="vt-p" href="http://www.themint.org/">The Mint

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-01.jpg" alt="teaching kids about money" width="580" height="419" />

The Mint believes in educating American children about money because the lessons on saving and debt need to be urgently learned. The site has sections tailor-made for kids, teens, parents, and teachers. The tools consist of games that are built around earning, saving, spending, and giving. Lessons on how money moves are also imparted in an easy to grasp language. With a basic understanding, you can play the quizzes and calculator games like the Be Your Own Boss Challenge on the website.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/">Practical Money Skills

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-02.jpg" alt="how to manage money" width="580" height="310" />

This financial literacy website covers the young of all ages with its package of personal finance articles, games, and lesson plans. You can also check out class="vt-p" href="http://www.whatsmyscore.org/">Whats My Score to understand the nitty-gritty of credit. Interactive financial games like Financial Football are cool fun learning experiences as you answer money related questions and score touchdowns. Financial Soccer, Road Trip, and Ed’s Bank are equally engaging. Look into the other quizzes and money calculators on the roster.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.orangekids.com/">Planet Orange

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-03.jpg" alt="how to manage money" width="580" height="346" />

Planet Orange is a nicely designed interactive financial game that reaches out to those in the 1st to 6th grade. Join Cedric and Amy as they help you navigate the deep reaches of space and learn all about earning, spending, saving and investing. The game involves activities that focus on different features of money and the choices you have to make for completing the mission.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.richkidsmartkid.com/">Rich Kid Smart Kid

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-04.jpg" alt="how to manage money" width="580" height="317" />

Future entrepreneurs have this website for free lessons on finance and wealth creation. All lessons are taught by Toki using four financial games. Games are designed around levels from Kindergarten to Grade 12. For instance, learn how to make profit by playing the Jesse’s Ice Cream Stand Game. Other games like Ima’s Pay Yourself First teach about using your money wisely.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.mysavingsquest.com/">Savings Quest

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-05.jpg" alt="ways to manage money" width="580" height="468" />

How to save and reach your savings goal can be learnt by playing a round of My Savings Quest. The character you play has to learn how to save money by budgeting and spending within the money earned from a choice of jobs, and savings. The game teaches you simply how to save for the things you want while paying for the things you need.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.kidsbank.com/">KidsBank

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-06.jpg" alt="ways to manage money" width="580" height="478" />

The interactive story put together by a bank takes kids through the basics of money and banking. The site explains the processes that go into banking. Parents can use the website as a tool to explain where the money earned is ending up and how it is earning as interest. The game is designed as a story and each character in the story takes you step-by-step through the entire banking process.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.usmint.gov/kids/">H.I.P Pocket Change

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-07.jpg" alt="ways to manage money" width="580" height="411" />

The U.S Mint website for kids is a great place to learn all about money thanks to a long lineup of games, art activities, puzzles, facts, and trivia. Then you have cartoons and a bit of history thrown in for good measure. If you are interested in understanding how it all begins check out the toon that shows the birth of a coin.

class="vt-p" href="http://senseanddollars.thinkport.org/">Sense and Dollars

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-09.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="322" />

There are fun money games on this interactive website for kids, but here’s the one to play for all those yearning to escape home: the Check It Out game gives you a job and one month’s worth of income with one month’s worth of bills. Think you can cope? Play and find out.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.bizkids.com/">BizKids

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-10.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="312" />

Here kids do all the explaining as they talk money and business with you. The financial education show is for preteens and uses skits and comedy to teach the basic stuff on finance. The site links to Disney’s class="vt-p" href="http://disney.go.com/dxd/index.html?channel=108602#/disneygroup/hotshotbusiness/" target="_blank">Hot Shot Business Game. Unfortunately, the other games mentioned give a broken link error, but you still have enough on the site to keep yourself occupied. There is a section for teachers and parents with downloadable lesson plans based on the episodes.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.italladdsup.org/">ItAllAddsUp

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kids-Money-11.jpg" alt="teaching kids about money" width="580" height="312" />

The interactive website features a series of games that take high school students through lessons in credit management, budgeting, saving, and spending. You cans select any of the scrolling images to play a random game.

We have covered a lot of class="vt-p" href="../tags/finance/">finance and class="vt-p" href="../dir/tag/personal-finance/">personal finance apps, but these websites bring back the fun into saving money. From pocket money to the first pay check, it’s a long financial journey. Make sure your kids have the right tools to make every buck count along the way. Do you have any more financial games to add to the list?

class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs.jpg" alt="firefox task manager" width="256" height="231" />Firefox tabs have long been my number one task management tools. I have plenty of them open at the same time and some of them keep hanging for days before I have time to get to those. Therefore I have tried plenty of ways to class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/too-many-tabs-firefox-add-ons-to-manage-a-tab-jam/">make the most of my tabs: I have compiled some of the best ways in my post class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-ways-productive-firefox-tabs/">7 Ways To Become More Productive With Firefox Tabs.

Recently I came across another great addon I’ve been playing with and I found it really awesome.  class="vt-p" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9429/">TooManyTabs lets you store and organize as many tabs as you like by adding extra rows in the Firefox browser. Essentially the tool adds an extra toolbar to Firefox (which does eat up some space but it is too useful not to try) that can be broken into several rows of open tabs.

It works similar to the bookmark toolbar but for a few essential differences:

id="more-62925">

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs-01.jpg" alt="firefox task manager" width="540" height="110" />

• All tabs look as if they are open;
• Clicking any tab loads the page in the browser and removes it from the addon toolbar (unless you “pin” it);
• The addon has a few additional features that let you prioritize and visualize your tasks:

Besides, the addon saves your browser’s space and memory as idle tabs are put aside.

Task Management Options:

The reason the addon appealed to me so much is not really the ability to add multiple rows of open (but not active) tabs. The reason is in the interesting task management options the tool adds to the browser.

Sort Your Tasks Into “Folders”

You can name your rows using recognizable tasks (TO DO, TO WRITE, TO READ) or by the name of the project or whatever seems to make sense to you. In the options (“Interface” tab) you can also set how many rows you can see in the browser at one time. You can also set the default row to send the tabs to (for others rows you will need to use the right-click context menu):

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs-02.jpg" alt="task management firefox" width="482" height="435" />

Visualize Tasks By Colors

You can use available colors to mark urgent tasks or those that need some ‘action” (unlike just reading), etc. Coloring is done via the right-click menu:

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs-03.jpg" alt="task management firefox" width="382" height="343" />

Stick Tabs

In case you really want to make sure your tab is there until you manually remove it, use the right-click menu to “pin” it in the toolbar:

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs-04.jpg" alt="firefox task manager" width="540" height="56" />

More Fun Options To Play With:

• If you tend to have a lot of tabs open, speed up your browser by sending most of them to the toolbar: this way they will still be in front of your eyes but won’t slow down your browser (instead of allowing idle tabs to waste your PC’s memory, you can now put your tabs on the extra rows, remove them from the memory, and restore them in your browser when you need them again).
• View tab history and restore recently closed tabs;
• Backup your TooManyTabs toolbar to the external file (to restore it on another computer).

Google Chrome Version

For Google Chrome users there’s a class="vt-p" href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/amigcgbheognjmfkaieeeadojiibgbdp">similar extension too that adds the following features:

1. Get the bird’s eye view of all opened tabs (available by clicking the toolbar icon) with a clear preview of each tab’s content.
2. Play with instant tab search.
3. Sort tabs by creation time, domain or title.
4. Restore recently closed tabs and send idle tabs to “Suspended” folder and save memory and organize them better.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/too-many-tabs-05.jpg" alt="Too many tabs" width="550" height="337" />

Looks like a great browser extension! What are your thoughts on it?

Sales software manage is one of the most powerful tools available to companies today.  By using an effective and powerful program you can increase the productivity of your sales force, thereby increasing the profit your company brings in: simple math, simple concept but a not so simple thing to execute. There are many sales software management tools out there, but there is not a single sales software management tool that has the power of Prophet from Avidian.  Prophet is one of the single most powerful sales software management tools you can get.

Why Prophet for My Sales Software Management Program?

There are several features within the Prophet sales software management program that make it the choice for professional organizations everywhere.  The first is the Sales Dashboard.  This screen will provide you a quick snapshot of what is going on with your business.  It is a completely customizable module in the sales software management program that allows you to take a ten thousand foot look at what is going on with your sales team quickly and easily.  In addition to allowing managers to see, this portion of the sales software management is also accessible by your employees as well.  Employees will know exactly where they stand with this sales software management tool as they can log in and check there current metrics against other employees and baselines as well.

In addition the Prophet sales software management suite can keep track and aggregate all of your tasks, appointments and notes for each client and account.  In addition to doing this the sales management software can link all of this through to your Outlook program.  Unlike other clunky and foreign sales software management programs, Prophet ties everything together through familiar software so you are not losing countless months training your employees on a new program.  This integration with Outlook is key to keeping your employees on task.

You can also use this sales software management to create quotes that you can send to your customers.  These quotes will carry your custom letter head and corporate information so you can guarantee a professional and authentic appearance.  In addition the sales software management will coordinate this with your outlook so you again can use one tool for all your work.  The sales software management is smart enough to take this quote and link it with the account and all the other activities associated with that account so that you can keep and up to date and accurate record of all communications with your clients.  This quote is completely exportable to Excel for easy editing.  In addition the sales software management suite will let you adjust each quote to a client’s exacting specifications.

The next thing the sales software management suite can do for you is compile any and all of the above information into an easy to read report that managers can use to keep track of their employees, or that sales people can use to track their progress.  The sales management software will compile all of this information into diverse and easy to read charts and graphs that once configured properly can be emailed and checked online.  The sales software management will quickly and easily load these graphs and programs so that you do not waste time with significant man hours waiting for the process to complete.  Some sales software management programs will only hinder your sales team; it is Prophet’s goal to release them from the chains of inefficient software and outdated practices.

The Prophet software has features in it that allow it to automatically be updated whenever a new release is available.  Sales software management program suites will frequently need to be updated as new patches, drivers and other updates come out for operating systems and the other programs that it integrates with.  It is reassuring to know that your sales software management program is on top of these updates and will update itself without any intervention by you or you IT team.

The sales software management program will also integrate and bring over all of your current contacts from Outlook, so if you are currently using this program you can quickly and easily make the switch to Prophet.

There is not a better sales software management program that you can get today.  There is bad sales software management, and then there is Prophet sales software management.

id="more-52375">

Partitioning

Partitioning your hard drive can be an intimidating experience if you don’t know what you’re doing. Paragon takes all the difficulty out of the process, allowing you to create partitions, which is particularly useful if you want to run several operating systems on your computer. Paragon also allows you to easily format, delete, resize and merge partitions.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/partition.png" />

Backup & Recovery

Backing up all of the data on your hard disk couldn’t be easier using Paragon Hard Disk Manager. Select which partitions of your hard drive you want to backup to three possible locations. Your data can be stored on a local or network drive, can be saved to an FTP location, or you can burn it to a CD or DVD. Restoring data that has been backed up using Paragon is a piece of cake. Simply navigate to the backup that you had created using the software, and follow the steps in the wizard to restore your data.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/backup.png" />

Copying and Migration

Paragon’s migration feature makes it easy to migrate an entire drive or partition to a new one. Copying a partition is as simple as selecting the partition you want to clone, and selecting the target location for the clone to be stored. The same is true for the hard disk migration feature, allowing you to migrate your entire hard disk to a new location, which makes upgrading to a new machine as easy as can be, restoring your entire system setup.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/migration.png" />

Security and Optimization

Fine tuning your computer with Paragon’s optimization features will keep your machine feeling brand new. Additionally, if you have confidential documents on your computer, use Paragon’s secure method of wiping entire partitions or disks to ensure that your personal information can never be retrieved.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/security.png" />

Boot Management

If one OS simply isn’t enough for you, Paragon makes it easy to both manage several operating systems on one computer and allows you to prepare your computer for a new OS install.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/boot.png" />

Introduction

One of the most important aspects of any business is sales. Without sales there is no revenue and without revenue the company ceases to exist. This is why so many executives and managers are focused on generating the most sales possible. One of the tools they are using to do this is sales management software. Sales management software is software that can be used by employees to track and improve their sales and sales opportunities. There are many different types of sales management software available on the market today, but one of the best sales management software is Prophet.

Prophet sales management software is easy to learn and easy to use.

Obviously one of the things executives and managers take into consideration before purchasing new software for their company or business is how easy the software is to learn and use. Prophet is one of the best sales management software available on the market today that meets both of these requirements. It is so easy to use that many executives and managers who were using competitor brands of sales management software have switched to Prophet sales management software simply because of this. In addition, Prophet sales management software is easy to learn, as most users can learn the software just by using it for a little while. However, Prophet sales management software does offer a tutorial that shows all of its features quickly, so employees can learn what they need to know about the sales management software even faster.

Prophet sales management software works with Outlook.

One of the most popular software programs used for email is Microsoft Outlook, and like most sales management software programs, Prophet works with Outlook and the information within it. Sales management software programs work with Outlook to maintain information on clients, business contacts, and sales opportunities. However, Prophet sales management software differs from its competitors, as it allows information to flow back and forth between the two programs much easier than other sales management software programs. For example, with Goldmine and Act sales management software, information in these programs must match the information in Outlook in order for it to be compatible, but this is not the case with Prophet sales management software. In addition, Prophet sales management software works with more versions of Outlook than any of its competitors.

Prophet sales management software makes adding and changing information easy.

Things are rapidly changing in today’s world, and nothing stays the same. It is important that companies and businesses have sales management software that is flexible and can adapt to these changes. Prophet sales management software does just that through its toolbar located in Outlook. This toolbar allows employees to change and add information with just a click of the mouse. Prophet’s competitors don’t offer this in their sales management software. Instead, employees must open up the sales management software program each time they want to make changes and manually do so. This is not only frustrating, but it makes employees less efficient.

Prophet sales management software is made to be customized.

Companies and businesses aren’t identical, thus the sales management software they use shouldn’t be either. Some information that is important for one organization is not important for another, thus they don’t need their sales management software to track it or include it in reports. Prophet sales management software recognizes this and allows for more customization with their sales management software than any of their competitors. This way businesses and companies can get only the information they want, and should they need to get different information at another time, they can simply change the customization in their sales management software and access what they need.

Prophet sales management software makes sharing information with others easy.

One of the best features of Prophet sales management software is that it is designed to make sharing information with internal and external individuals very easy. Prophet sales management software is the only sales management software to offer peer to peer sharing, which allows information to be easily shared and used by multiple individuals in a company or organization. This is a great feature as most employees work in a team or group and not in isolation as they might have done in the past. Sharing information with individuals outside the company or organization is also easy with Prophet sales management software. Obviously information in the Prophet sales management software program can’t be sent directly to outside individuals as they don’t have the sales management software. However, Prophet sales management software allows you to save, print, and send information to others in a variety of file formats including aspx, PDF, Word, and Excel. This way individuals can view it and use it no matter what software programs they have on their computers.

You can begin using Prophet sales management software today.

The best project manager is supported by a project management software tool that caters to unique project requirements. When selecting a software to run a project or business, many buyers overlook key factors that ensure a successful project management software implementation. The purpose of this article is to provide business owners and project  managers with insights on how to select the best project management software.

Ranking Business and Project Management Priorities

When evaluating a project management software or a business software, it helps to have a thorough understanding of the day to day project management activities and needs. This helps identify whether or not and how the software is capable of solving  business and project management problems. Since every project and business has unique qualities, by studying current project management practices and theoretically applying them to the project management software in question one can almost identify one-for-one how each problem or project management need can be resolved using the software. Listing project management software features in order of priority is time well invested into the project management software selection process. By ranking business and software needs, a manager creates a clear picture on how to create a best-fit between project management activity and software.

Assessing Future Project Management Requirements

Although it may be difficult for a manager to predict exactly how project management software requirements may evolve over time, it is possible to understand the degree of flexibility that the software accommodates. Flexible project management software allows a company to grow and change over time. The more flexible the software, the more options project managers will have to accommodate project-specific situations that were not accounted for or expected during the project management software selection process. Project management software that is simple to use, may or may not have the ability to match evolving needs of a company as volume increases or decreases. The ability to change and adjust to as many situations as possible is of tremendous value to a company, and therefore a project manager.  All too often project management and business data is segregated across multiple different software applications that do not synch up with each other and often create additional, undue burden on the company. Yet, the company still needs a means of tracking abnormal situations. An effective project management software solution accommodates change and can be tailored to meet changing business demands without degrading former or existing projects management needs already set forth by existing projects.

Project Management  Software and Accounting Software Integration

It is a reality that there is no one single software that services every business need a company has. Therefore, the ability for one software to share data, import/export or otherwise synchronize business data with another software becomes an essential component to the software selection process. Software product vendors  may put forth “a one size fits all” attitude however the best way to ensure that a project management software can share data or synchronize with an accounting software is to understand the technical requirements of both software systems. This way, the software systems in place and the software being selected may be assessed as a set of integrated software systems that work together rather than single handedly, as how most businesses select software. In fact, software integration as a primary driver to the software selection process will dramatically reduce implementation costs, due to a reduction of data setup and a consistency of terms and language used across different business software systems.

Project Management Software Vendor/Customer Relationship

The project management software vendor and the customer should establish a mutually supportive relationship. When selecting a project management software to run and manage business data and for project management, the project manager should factor into consideration how responsive and competent the project management software vendor is in both the project management software itself and also the business industry that the project management software is intended to serve. The project manager should also observe how willing to help the project management software vendor is, and how promptly and accurately the project management software vendor follows up and follows through. These are all indications of how the project management software vendor will perform when supporting the customer.

Many project management software vendors offer support for project software-specific questions, however such questions often call for business-related questions on how to handle best project management practices, for example, using the project management software. Since a project software is to support projects for the business, there should be no separation between answering technical questions about how to use the project management software and questions on how to solve project-related questions within that project management software.

The vendor should become an active participant in supporting a project manager or company with it’s own project management processes, thereby having those project processes clearly defined and managed within the project management software. Once a business is invested into a project management software, the switch can be costly depending on whether or not the company wishes to migrate project management data from one software to another. Therefore, it is in the best interest of a project manager to, when selecting a project management software, to analyze how much effort it would take to switch to a new software, if the company reaches the limits of the current project management software.

Although it may be difficult to assess the cost of moving project management software data to a new project management software without knowing ahead of time what the new project software is, part of the project software selection process should identify how such a switch in systems will be addressed, should such steps be taken in the future.

In a large company, it can be difficult to monitor the actions of each employee. Every organization is faced with a number of factors that put their company at risk. Risks vary between industries, however, one thing remains the same- employers are responsible for protecting their employees and providing them with a safe workplace. In some cases, accidents still happen, employees choose not to follow proper procedures and misconduct ensues. In these types of situations, companies will want to ensure they have an effective reporting system in place, as well as proper tools for conducting top notch internal investigations.

Our Story

At i-Sight, we understand the different pressures organizations are under to comply with regulations and conduct timely investigations. We developed i-Sight Investigation Software to meet a need we recognized within our own workplaces eleven years ago. Since then, we have continued to enhance our understanding of the issues companies face through speaking with our clients and prospects in order to create a solution that makes their job easier.

Closing the Gap

When an individual or company comes to us requesting more information, or a demonstration of i-Sight, many have identified gaps in their current systems, and are looking for a solution that can be built around the processes they already have in place. For example, at Underwriters Laboratories (UL), wanted a system that could handle large volumes of cases, was accessible from any location due to traveling investigators and would allow their current investigations team to handle increasing case volumes without having to add additional members to the team.

At UL, the ability to build a criminally enforceable case requires detailed tracking of information and coordination with law enforcement agencies. UL originally utilized a simple database; however, the application was not capable of capturing e-mails or attachments and didn’t provide investigators with a comprehensive “visual” of each case.

According to Judith Lykins, manager, Anti-Counterfeiting Operations at UL:

“Our goal is to keep dangerous products out of the hands of consumers. In order to put together a successful investigation for criminal enforcement, we needed a more effective way to collect, analyze and output our data.

In order to make it easier for members of the Anti-Counterfeiting Operations team to adopt i-Sight, it was designed to include the same terminology and categories used throughout the process at UL. Now, all members of the Anti-Counterfeiting Operations team have the ability to manage large case loads, while meeting deadlines and submitting consistent reports. i-Sight is a web based system, which makes it easy for traveling investigators to work on cases from any location with an Internet connection.

Increasing Enforcement

Organizations can lose thousands, even millions of dollars if investigations are not completed properly. For example, failure to investigate an employee complaint may result in a costly lawsuit, while taking too long to complete an investigation may result in money lost due to ongoing fraudulent actions. In 2003, the State of West Virginia launched a major reform of its workers’ compensation system, which was then heavily in debt and losing close to $1 million a day. A key goal of the initiative was to reduce the occurrence of fraud and abuse, by stepping up enforcement and by ensuring greater coordination among the state officials who were responsible for overseeing the system.

“‘First, we found that the reporting features within i-Sight were excellent,’ said Chris Bailes, Director of Operations at the Office of the Inspector General. ‘That is really key, because without good data we can’t make good decisions. And second, we appreciated the flexibility that i-Sight gave us. We liked the fact that if we wanted to change our internal procedures six months down the road, i-Sight would allow us to do that.’”

Since implementing i-Sight, the Office of the Inspector General (for the first time ever) has a convenient way of tracking and monitoring court-ordered restitution and repayments. Prior to implementing i-Sight, Bailes stated they  ”had over $6 million dollars in restitution and repayment agreements, and a little over 10% of that had been paid. We needed a way to monitor that situation the same way a bank monitors its loan repayments, with automatic alerts when people are missing their payments. i-Sight case management software does that for us, which is a fantastic feature.”

Every organization faces a variety of factors that put their company at risk. Risks may vary between industries, however, one thing remains the same- employers are responsible for protecting their employees and providing them with a safe workplace by mitigating these risks. In some cases, accidents still happen, employees choose not to follow proper procedures and misconduct ensues. In these types of situations, companies will want to ensure they have an effective reporting system in place, as well as proper tools for conducting top notch internal investigations.

When a work providers sends a case to your firm, DPS OneOffice automatically creates a file in your system and informs the key person that this file has been incepted. The system automatically files progress reports with your work provider and recognises incoming and outgoing emails that are related to that case, filing them against the file in DPS with no user intervention.

One such work provider DPS can integrate with is Albany Assistance, who specialise in the provision of outsourced services to the insurance industry including claims management services and personal injury management.

Albany Assistance are a major work provider for Tayntons Solicitors LLP, a client of DPS Software. Tayntons use DPS Personal Injury to automatically create files, track cases and send out initial letters relevant to cases that have been provided by Albany Assistance.

DPS are also compatible with movewithus, a major property services provider. Heenans Solicitors required a system which was able to integrate with movewithus, their principal property service provider. When movewithus submit a case to Heenans, DPS automatically creates and updates a file as the case progresses.

Brendan Heenan, Business Manager at Heenans Solicitors commented: “The DPS MWU Agent has substantially reduced data inputting, thereby getting the instruction off to a flying start. This alone has enabled us to significantly increase the volume of instructions handled and decrease administration.”

DPS also integrate with Accident Exchange for PI work, and LMS, Xit2 and 55Live for Conveyancing work.
