Park City, Utah - August 21, 2006 -- Chronos LC today announced the release of SOHO Organizer 5.6, an update to its personal and business productivity suite. SOHO Organizer is designed for both individual and workgroup use and the latest update represents an important step forward in the complete rewrite of the former Personal and Group Organizer products that it replaces. SOHO Organizer 5.6 is a free update for registered SOHO Organizer 5.x users.

NEW FEATURES

• New Mini-Months in Day View. The Day View now contains a mini-month region where one or more mini-months can be displayed. A mini-month shows a complete month calendar at a glance so users can quickly view a specific date in the Day View.
• Find & Manage Duplicate Contacts. SOHO Organizer can now search for duplicate contacts and gives the user three options when duplicates are found. First, the user can choose to keep just one of the contacts. Second, the user can choose to keep all the duplicate contacts. Third, the user can merge the data from all the duplicate contacts. In each option, the user gets to preview exactly what information they're keeping. In what may be an industry first, the merge feature can actually merge 3 or more duplicate contacts and still show a final preview.
• Define Default Fields And Their Order. The contact card can now display a pre-defined set of fields in a particular pre-defined order when a contact is displayed. This makes it easy to enter and view contact information in a consistent and familiar way..

7 ENHANCEMENTS, OPTIMIZATIONS, FIXES

SOHO Organizer 5.6 also includes 7 enhancements, optimizations and bug fixes:

• Added ability to duplicate events or tasks
• Added progress bar when importing vCards
• Fixed problem that prevented SOHO Organizer from creating or opening a database if certain Firewire audio/video devices were plugged in
• Synchronization fixes and improvements
• More...

THE OFFICIAL SUCCESSOR

SOHO Organizer is the official successor to Personal Organizer and Group Organizer and represents a 100% Cocoa rewrite of the former products. This means SOHO Organizer presents a first-class Mac OS X experience complete with all the features Mac OS X users expect: Aqua interface, Unicode compliance, built-in spell checking, Service support, etc. Finally, the true benefit of a complete Cocoa rewrite is that SOHO Organizer is built for the future and can easily accommodate future technologies.

SOHO Organizer makes managing customer relationships from phone calls and notes to appointments and to-dos easy. It embraces and leverages popular Mac OS X technologies and applications instead of trying to replace them. For example, it synchronizes seamlessly with Address Book and iCal so that users can continue to use them and other applications that rely on their data. Users can thus use Apple's iSync to synchronize contacts and calendars in SOHO Organizer to cell phones, iPods, Palm handhelds, and even .Mac.
