Title: Round Management Software
Post by: Chris Cottrell on August 13, 2011, 08:07:55 am: I'm still looking for new software for managing our customer database and I've come across this but a little put off by the name of it, considering some previous events with similar software from a certain company (we'll say no more on this topic but sure you know what i'm getting at) and not wishing to be dropped in it again !!

Post by: Chris Cottrell on August 13, 2011, 08:34:45 am: nothing wrong with George at all but the Palm O/S is a bit limited in comparison to other O/S

Post by: Paul Coleman on August 13, 2011, 09:15:32 am: I'm reluctant to adopt software, other than the stuff I already use, due to support and updates dropping off - not to mention the lack of export facility if I change my mind about using the software. At least with the more widely used spreadsheets and databases there is support to be had even if the original company stop providing it.

If the support is anything like wcp i will be staying well clear

There were a few problems that put me off but the main one for me is I work in some remote areas of the county where I don't even get a mobile service let alone the possibilities of a data connection or even wifi so I really need software that's stored at my end and not on a server
