Sage and iambic Software Introduce TimeReporter for Carpe Diem Electronic Time Sheet
DALLAS — December 2, 1999 — Sage U.S. Holdings, Inc. and iambic Software introduced today TimeReporter(R) for Carpe Diem(R) Electronic Time Sheet, a new time tracking software designed for the Palm Computing(R) platform.
The new product is based on Sage's Carpe Diem Electronic Time Sheet, a well-established solution in the field of time tracking software, and on iambic's TimeReporter software, an industry-proven product for handheld computing devices. By using this new product on their Palm Computing devices, professionals can keep track of time entries wherever their business takes them.
"Our goal is to continually deliver new ways to make time tracking easier and more flexible," said Kevin Taggart, vice president of Sage's Time Tracking Products Division. "Earlier this year, we introduced a new feature that lets our customers access Carpe Diem Electronic Time Sheet over the Internet or intranet. And now our new TimeReporter for Carpe Diem will provide yet another option for people who want to track their time whenever and wherever they choose.
"To deliver the most advanced application possible, we opted to work with iambic Software. Its TimeReporter product is a leading time entry application within the handheld computing market, so it was a logical match for Carpe Diem," Taggart continued. "Customer demand for this Palm software has grown steadily, and we are pleased to provide our highly mobile customer base with this new option."
"Carpe Diem's TimeReporter solution simplifies time tracking by taking advantage of the Palm organizer's portability and the Palm Computing platform's HotSync technology," said Gabriel Acosta-Lopez, director of platform development services for Palm Computing, Inc., a 3Com company.
Using TimeReporter for Carpe Diem, customers can capture time entries from wherever they are working. Upon returning to their office, they can then export the collected data directly to their desktop version of Carpe Diem. This automatically synchronizes both their desktop databases and Palm(TM) Desktop Software, so that they can promptly use the data for billing, reporting and other applications.
"We are glad to partner with Sage in this great project of linking our leading time tracking solutions and thereby extending the reach of Carpe Diem to mobile professionals," said Vidal Graupera, president of iambic Software. "With TimeReporter for Carpe Diem in the palm of their hands, customers can now collect and track billable time wherever they are, so that nothing slips through the cracks. This capability adds significant value for TimeReporter for Carpe Diem users by eliminating error, increasing their business profitability and improving billing."
TimeReporter for Carpe Diem Electronic Time Sheet is now available for $129.99 per individual license. For more information, please contact our Carpe Diem software specialists at 800/477-6763 or cdsales@sageus.com.
