SAN JOSE, Calif., January 19, 2005 – 4D, Inc., a leading maker of software solutions
that simplify the process of developing and deploying database applications, today
released 4D Meetings 1.0, a full-fledged meetings and task management system to help
even the most basic computer users better manage their daily lives and workload.
With 4D Meetings 1.0, users can organize contacts, send e-mails, create meeting agendas, distribute meeting minutes, assign tasks, and generate reports.
“4D Meetings is for anybody and everybody who needs organization in their daily
lives,” said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO of 4D, Inc. “Managing tasks,
generating reports, and firing off e-mails are made simple and efficient with 4D
Meetings.”
Powerful, yet easy-to-use 4D Meetings 1.0 is available to download for free at
<http://www.4D.com>. A comparable product with far fewer features sells for as much as
$70 by one software maker.
One of 4D Meetings 1.0’s great features is called synchronization. Users can sync data
from 4D Meetings to Microsoft Outlook® XP (and newer versions), Address Book and
iCal on the Macintosh OS X v10.3 (Panther). This feature easily allows you to import all
of your contact, task and event items from popular electronic address applications that
don’t offer the wide-range of functions as 4D Meetings. This synching feature allows you
to keep each member of your team informed of his/her specific task.
4D Meetings keeps you organized and in control of all your meeting details, allowing you to remain focused on your message and in touch with your associates. Other features allow you to:
In addition, 4D Meetings offers ready-to-use templates that let you quickly send
informative e-mails to contacts and associates. You can even tailor a template to suit your
needs by simply selecting from an array of formulas that 4D provides. If those formulas
don’t satisfy, you can customize your own template.
4D Meetings also allows you to generate customized reports at the touch of a mouse with the powerful 4D Meetings report engine. Users can also add supportive details from advanced calculations to graphs.
4D Meetings runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP and Macintosh OS X v.10.3
Panther™.
FileMaker has a similar product that sells for as much as $70. 4D Meetings, again, is free. And FileMaker Meetings doesn’t even offer as many features. See below how you are limited if you’re using FileMaker Meetings.
