New York, NY (PRWeb) January 11, 2007 -- ProTrak International announced the release of ProTrak Advantage CRM 4.5. Scheduled for release in early 2007, version 4.5 includes new features that greatly enhance the user's experience and overall functionality of ProTrak's out-of-the-box CRM solution for investment managers, funds-of-hedge funds, hedge funds and private equity firms. As usual, many of the new features are derived from suggestions of ProTrak's growing global user community. A major emphasis of ProTrak's development effort is the provision of additional "tools" that give users more control over their ProTrak desktop without requiring IT support. A few of the new enhancements included in version 4.5 are: • New user customization options that allow users to set different background colors for the main profile windows and each data "pane" for better readability, to hide or view individual columns in each data pane and to select different "themes" for the main profile screens. • Users may now attach Crystal reports, Excel reports and/or other external reports directly to the ProTrak main menu for instant one-click execution. • ProTrak administrators may now specify default values and/or calculated values for individual data fields. • In addition to ProTrak's comprehensive security controls, security - more available
