the release of SOHO Organizer 5.6.2, an update to its personal and

THE OFFICIAL SUCCESSOR
SOHO Organizer is the official successor to Personal Organizer and
Group Organizer and represents a 100% Cocoa rewrite of the former
products. This means SOHO Organizer presents a first-class Mac OS X
experience complete with all the features Mac OS X users expect: Aqua
interface, Unicode compliance, built-in spell checking, Service
support, etc. Finally, the true benefit of a complete Cocoa rewrite
is that SOHO Organizer is built for the future and can easily
accommodate future technologies.
SOHO Organizer makes managing customer relationships from phone calls
and notes to appointments and to-dos easy. It embraces and leverages
popular Mac OS X technologies and applications instead of trying to
replace them. For example, it synchronizes seamlessly with Address
Book and iCal so that users can continue to use them and other
applications that rely on their data. Users can thus use Apple’s
iSync to synchronize contacts and calendars in SOHO Organizer to cell
phones, iPods, Palm handhelds, and even .Mac.

SOHO Organizer is a key member of Chronos’ acclaimed small
office/home office series and bears the identifying “SOHO” moniker.

solutions that are greater than the sum of their individual parts.
