Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Productivity is a lot like the weather. Everyone talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. Staying organized is a continual struggle for most people. Wrestling with paper planners, trying all the latest handheld computers, but still getting out of sync, missing appointments, losing contacts, information, notes. And it's not like modern life is getting any slower and easier to manage.
That's why businesses, organizations, families, and individual "power users" depend on Now Up-to-Date & Contact. Sure, there are some "free" software products out there, but none of them provide the depth of features and flexibility of Now Up-to-Date & Contact. Many of our customers have "out grown" these simple and inflexible solutions. And others have discovered that "free" isn't necessarily so.
Now Up-to-Date & Contact has been available since the early 90's. We have many customers that have been using and depending on it 8 to 10 years.
Now Up-to-Date & Contact is the only solution that addresses all of the problems that businesses and power users face. And it's fully cross-platform, so it doesn't matter if you use Macs or Windows, it looks and acts the same on both.
Features:
- Now Up-to-Date & Contact is a "mature" product (and we don't mean old).
- Flexible: start using Now Up-to-Date & Contact immediately without reading the manual (yes, there is a manual), then grow, customize, use it the way you want.
- Shared calendars and contacts: True sharing and network calendars and address books. Schedule meetings, reserve rooms and resources, share client information.
- Low overhead: Now Up-to-Date & Contact installs and configures in minutes. You can run the server software (comes free with your copy of Now Up-to-Date & Contact) on virtually any Mac or PC. Does not require dedicated hardware!
- Internet integration: Update your calendar and contacts from anywhere with Internet access. Publish calendars and address books to the Web (or your intranet). Special Web features for contacts let you look up address information, maps, select restaurants, view the weather, and more.
- Palm Synchronization: Most flexible syncing available. You choose which contacts to sync to your Palm.
- iPod support (Mac OS X only): sync your calendar and your contacts to your iPod.
- Cross platform: Mac OS 8.6-9.x, Mac OS X, Windows XP, NT, 98, 2000, ME. Looks and works the same for each platform--all platforms work together seamlessly.
- Professional support: Professional and rapid response via our online support system and automated FAQ and free email support. Priority phone support available.
- A future: Now Software is committed to continued development of Now Up-to-Date & Contact. Not only do we have a history of over 10 years development, but we're planning now for the future. Stay posted for more.

2.0 out of 5 stars
This is a good program that has aged poorly.,

This review is from: Now Up to Date & Contact Manager 4.0 (CD-ROM)
Now Up To Date & Contact (NUTD) is a contact manager and calendering program written for Mac users. First written for Mac OS 9, it was the best choice when there were few options. Windows users had Act! but Mac users did not yet have iCal or Entourage. NUTD is simple enough to start using quickly. It is has a number of options to let you customise the data fields, create your own templates for letters and faxes and it can be net worked with other members of your company or organization. It can be used with Palm devices but NUTD conduits conflict with iCal and Entourage conduits. The NUTD support site lists the other conduits with which it conflits.Because of all the ways you can customise reports, it is a great way to maintain and print an address book or customer list. It is easy to insert a contact`s name and address in the program`s word processor. The word processor is very basic and lacks most of the features a Word user might expect. But it does link the saved document to a contact's file. If you use Word, you will have to link manually. NUTD has templates to print envelopes and labels as well. There is a telephone dialer built into NUTD. Clicking on the telephone icon in a contact's record will dial the number, open a new dialogue box for notes, date and time and when closed, link the data to the contact record. NUTD has not had a major upgrade in years. In MAC OS X it is quirky and unreliable. The servers that allow users to share files crash and corrupt their data base. The NUTD site has extensive help files to show users how to re-install and restore the servers. There is a reason for all those help files, you will be using them. The NUTD support site use to have a user discussion board. Before it was taken down, some users expressed a lot of dissatisfaction. I have lost my calendar server so many times I gave up trying to use it and went with iCal because it is reliable. In using the contact manager, I am frustrated by the programs tendency to generate error messages when making calls or writing letters. Some letters are corrupted when saved. The technical support staff does respond to email inquires within a day or two. However, they can not do anything about the program's limitations. If your data is gone or corrupted, you have to start over. John Wallace, President of NUTD, said in a email (February 2005) that version 5 of the program is in beta testing and should ship in the next couple of months. It would be worth looking at the update. But there is a new player, DayLite by Marketcircle. DayLite seems to have more momentum with frequent updates, enhancements, new add-on programs and even a Yahoo user group. NUTD is in damage control mode and vapor ware - sort of like the Windows ware that drove me to Macs in the first place.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent enterprise calendar,
By Solomon Flopy (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Now Up to Date & Contact Manager 4.0 (CD-ROM)
The interface is easy to work with and is clear and straight forward. Except for a few glitches when upgrading from version 3.0 this has been a stable program. Palm sync feature is nice, overall the software is almost as good as Entourage from Microsoft, but this app allows for network calendaring over the internet and within your LAN, Entourage does not.
