If you seek a serious, committed relationship with some powerful but demanding software, try both Contactizer Pro and Daylite for a while before deciding which one to go steady with.

For a Mac-based small office, I am inclined to believe Daylite is probably the best solution for employees and managers who just want to spend their time working, instead of programming and entering data.

Daylite earns a 4-1/2 moose rating and my applause for making project management less mysterious and more accessible to average folks like me.
