Address book software will be the best solution for you to manage your contacts. It lets you create a single database for keeping and managing the contact details of your coworkers, clients, friends, partners and other people you deal with. An example is VIP Task Manager. While you can use VIP Task Manager for contacts management, this software goes far beyond a typical address book program and provides a complete solution for managing business data.

If the interface is not user friendly, you are confused by too many options on the toolbar, the entries are messed up, and your computer performs heavily, then most likely this program rather hampers than helps you in contacts management, and it is not what you really need.

All entries in VIP Task Manager can be listed alphabetically (A-Z and Z-A) or sorted manually. The program is fast and has a user friendly interface with convenient toolbar, so creating new entries in your database is easy. There are two types of entries such as tasks and groups. Custom fields help you specify tasks and groups by user-defined properties to tune the program to your contact management needs. For example, you can create "Phone", "Email", "Address", "Birthday", "Job Title", "Company" and more new properties which will be displayed in the Custom Fields tab in your tasks. When you create a task or group you can enter needed values into the properties. |
Flexibility in Organizing Contacts
It is very important that you can organize contacts in a flexible way, so that the data is easy to read, edit and manipulate.

Everything you need right away and immediately can be easily and quickly displayed on your screen.
VIP Task Manager provides the Task List view that is best for organizing entries and manipulating contact data. The software lets you filter, sort and group the data in the Task List view.

The data can sorted out alphabetically, and filters will help you display entries of selected addresses.
Email Notifications and Alerts
Managing addresses and contact details often involves use of notifications and alerts that help users keep track of upcoming holidays, scheduled reminders, prioritized tasks, and urgent dates. Address book software automatically pushes critical information to right employees. When an update is made to a contact entry or a reminding alert is triggered, your employees will receive a bubble or/and email notification, and you can you decide how much information they can see.
In VIP Task Manager software users can subscribe to notifications to ensure their awareness of all (or specified) changes made in the database. Notifications can be received as email messages at inbox or bubble alerts at desktop.
Reminders can be scheduled for alerting at/before specified date and time to tell users about upcoming urgent tasks. Even customers and vendors can receive automatic reminders right to their inbox. You can also send tasks (including contact details) to users' addresses and other emails. |
