Reliable Softworks wins FMTouch Developers Highest Award
Plaistow, NH - Reliable Softworks (RSW) announced today that their newest software solution, “tCRM,” is the first place winner of a development competition sponsored by FMWebschool in Richmond, Virginia. tCRM is a complete customer relationship management database, which can be used remotely on any iPhone and then easily synched to its desktop counterpart via the Internet.
FMWebschool is well known for developing the FMTouch system already being used on the Apple iPhone. FMTouch is an iPhone “App” which gives users the ability to have their FileMaker databases with them no matter where they are, and they don’t have to be connected to the Internet. In order to be competitive in the business applications marketplace, RSW was challenged to provide them with a ‘ready made’ solution that they can then offer for use with their FMTouch program.
According to Stephen Knight, a top Developer for FMWebschool, “RSW won an overwhelming victory. It’s obvious they spent a lot of time on the tCRM application because they sent us both a desktop and actual iPhone version. RSW submitted a great CRM application and we really liked the look and ease of use. Of all the databases we received leading up to this award; RSW’s tCRM database is brilliant. They did an amazing job.”
The founders of RSW have over 70 years of retail and service experience and understand how critical a robust business system is. With this experience in mind, they designed proven software solutions to work in harmony with day-to-day business operations, and use their own software daily in their sister appliance retail sales and service stores. Reliable Softworks produces easy to use software solutions that are affordable and can be tailored for each customer’s workforce. The RSW team works with each client to customize a system that works just the way they need it to.
Mike Baron, President of RSW is thrilled about his company’s new software and believes tCRM is the perfect application for a small service business or a global sales force. “This is further testimony of how cutting edge all RSW solutions are. They are so easy to run and there are virtually no instructions needed. Our development team, under the leadership of Andy Frazier, continues to go above, beyond, and then some on everything they do and that is why our products are unparalleled in the market,” he said.
Andy Frazier, Senior Developer and Co-founder for RSW had this to say, “We are very proud to have won this award. We were very excited when we heard about the opportunity to provide solutions for the mobile device market and this was a great way to explore the possibilities.”
The RSW tCRM software will be available for purchase and download on the FMTouch App store opening on November 3, 2008.

Mac Owners Now Have Unfair Advantage In Home Business
Ozark, Missouri - MacInfopreneur(C) Millard Grubb has given Macintosh computer owners an unfair advantage when it comes to making money in their home business.
“I started with the Mac SE 30 years ago making flyers and promotional pieces for my entertainment business, so, from almost Day One, I was able to make some cash from my Mac,” explains Millard Grubb.
“The Mac is the perfect entrepreneur’s tool, right out of the box, to create cash. You can have an idea in the morning, create a product in a couple of hours, then start making money off of it. The Mac gives almost anyone the ability to create useful products that can be sold over and over again,” Millard continues.
Millard Grubb wrote his first book in 1992. Then wrote another book for the entertainment industry that has been sold entirely on the ‘Net. Millard has also created several audio products and manuals that are sold electronically almost exclusively on the ‘Net as well.
Millard shares his experiences with a new subscription e-course called The MacProfit Business System(C). In the course, Millard shares stories of what he has done with his Mac as well as point readers to tools and sites that help the business-minded entrepreneur who uses a Mac.
Millard explains that since he has used a Mac for so long, the focus is on Mac tools for the entrepreneur. Making money with your Mac? It just got easier.
