The Multiactive Software Inc. package is a powerhouse among contact managers. It has tools for managing your time, doing Internet research and tracking names, addresses and phone numbers. Maximizer 5.0 is perfect for managers of people and projects. The documentation's focus on small business at first made me think Maximizer would have little value for feds. But after installing it, I was impressed by how much it could do for any Rolodex user.
Most contact managers are merely glorified databases of names and phone numbers.
Maximizer is different. Its interface is like that of other contact managers, but it tracks not just people's names and addresses but also how they relate to one another. When you enter a new name into the contact database, you can flag other entries, instructing Maximizer to show the whole group whenever one member is requested. A separate screen reminds you which interagency task force or workgroup they all belong to. Maximizer will track who is in charge of projects and who are peers.
