One Click Manager, the first all-in-one package for managing your business; budgeting, contact management, time management, staffing and more bundled together in one integrated, Windows-based program.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1994--Managing your business used to require a whole library full of software programs: spreadsheets, contact managers, calendars, word processors specially formatted to meet your needs.

You had to learn multiple programs, and you wasted time moving from one program to another.

Now the One Click(R) Manager, a Windows-based product from Austinsoft(TM) Corp., brings together all the functions needed for good management in one easy-to-use, integrated package where each application is just one click away.

Covering everything from strategic and financial planning to day-to-day organizational tasks, staffing and quality control, the One Click Manager is the only software package that combines all the business disciplines required to run a business or department effectively.

It generates instant reports and graphs, creates budgets and calculates break-even points, helps plot corporate and competitive strategy, manages by deadlines and objectives, tracks appointments, performs general ledger functions and more.

``The One Click Manager offers five business productivity tools for the price of one,'' said Robert Diwan, Austinsoft president, who conceived of the need for a program like this when he was CEO of Austin Computer Systems, a leading direct marketer of personal computers. ``It guides managers through all the stages of running a business department and is based on the latest principles of business management.''

The One Click Manager consists of five modules:

Planning includes Budget and Break-Even Analysis to help create

budgets by department and calculate break-even points, plus a

Corporate and Competitive Strategy application that prioritizes

customer requirements and guides development of marketing plans.

Organizing includes Key Contact Management by Deadlines and

Objectives for tracking and recording the history of each

contact's important information, tasks and deadlines, plus

an Appointments and Time Management application for booking

appointments and automatic scheduling of recurring appointments.

Staffing includes Interview Procedures with standardized

questions to help rate job candidates and tips on how to define

job objectives, plus Employee Performance Appraisal to track

employee strengths, accomplishments and problem areas.

Directing includes Quality Control and Improvement to help

evaluate customer satisfaction, define corrective actions and

graph defect rates, plus a Meetings application for creating

agendas, recording participants and keeping minutes.

Controlling includes General Ledger to track expenses, income,

assets and liabilities by account and department, plus a Variances

from Budget application for automatic updating and comparison

of planned and actual budgets.

In addition, the One Click Manager has many features that can be customized to fit your needs. It also offers a password option for data security, a backup and restore utility to assure data will not be lost and the ability to export data in formats that include delimited text, dBase III, dBase IV, Excel, FoxPro 2.0, FoxPro 2.5, Lotus WKS, Lotus WK1 and Microsoft Access 1.1.

The One Click Manager requires an 80386SX processor or higher, Windows 3.0 or higher, 4MB of extended memory, 8MB of free hard-disk space, EGA or higher resolution monitor and a mouse or compatible pointing device.

The suggested list price of the One Click Manger is $69. Austinsoft products are available through resellers and distributors nationwide or direct from the company: 800/501-1333.
