With the release of Studiometry 9.0.3, we will begin phasing out support for older Macs with PowerPC processors, transitioning from what is called a “Universal Binary” to an “Intel-only” binary. We must make this transition for several reasons, the most important of which is to keep up with the tools and technologies used to create and run Studiometry itself.

Apple requires an Intel processor to run Mac OS 10.6 and 10.7. They also do not allow Universal Binaries on their Mac App Store. In keeping up with Apple’s transition, many of the tools we use to create … Continue Reading

Studiometry 9 has a plethora of new CRM features that help you track and organize your emails, phone calls, and correspondences. At the heart of these new capabilities are the new Log item type in Studiometry, as well as new Email Integration features.

Logs
Logs help you save and organize any emails, phone calls, or correspondences related to your clients and projects. The great part about logs is that they can be linked to nearly anything in Studiometry, such as projects or employees. You can later reference and filter the logs based on their links to focus on correspondences for individual items. … Continue Reading

Studiometry 9 gives you many new tools to help better analyze your business’s income and profit. In previous versions of Studiometry you were able to create items with “markup”, allowing you to enter your cost for the item as well as what you charge your clients. This is a great solution for “goods”, but for “services” there wasn’t a solution in place to track cost for hourly work items. Many Studiometry users have employees or contractors that they pay a specific amount per hour for their work, and in Studiometry 9 this can now be tracked using Cost-Rates.

Flexible Cost-Rate Settings
Cost-rates … Continue Reading

Tons of new invoice template features have been added for Studiometry 9, giving you much more control over how Studiometry produces and delivers invoices.

PDF Export
The big new feature is the ability to send invoices as PDFs. All emailing and exporting of invoices will now automatically be done as a standard PDF file, created using your customized templates. This gives many benefits over the previous PNG exporting, including much better native text display, zooming capabilities, and the ability to copy text from the delivered invoice. It’s a much more flexible and standardized delivery method that will make reading invoices easier for … Continue Reading

Just recently we realized that, right here at Oranged Software, we’ve been using our iPads just as they would in a commercial flaunting “the technology of the future!” At first when I heard of “doctors using iPads” or “programming on the iPad” it all sounded so gimmicky. The iPad is a versatile device, and it’s great for many purposes, but it’d never replace a computer or have a large an impact on the way we work. Right?

Wrong. Well, mostly. The jury is still out on effectively programming on a device that doesn’t have a keyboard, but the other unforeseen uses … Continue Reading
