29 October 2010 – Reading UK – Workbooks.com, a leading provider of web-based CRM and Business Applications, today announced the latest release of their cloud computing platform, further enabling small and mid-sized organisations to drive down costs and increase business productivity.

This latest release, due to launch on Saturday 30th October, is part of Workbooks’ ongoing strategy to satisfy the needs of small and mid-size organisations, helping them to efficiently operate their business on one easy-to-use, fully integrated platform.

Workbooks Version 3.0 will include a series of enhancements including improvements to the user interface and support for Google’s Chrome Frame, however arguably the most significant addition to the Workbooks platform, is the release of Workbooks’ API which will allow third party developers to more closely integrate their applications with Workbooks.

The Microsoft Outlook Connector and Sagelink are the first two API applications coming to market, with more applications to follow in the coming months. 

The Microsoft Outlook connector has been developed for Workbooks by InvisibleCRM, a company who specialise in developing desktop connectors for CRM systems and the Sagelink product has been developed by Eiger Group, a specialist Sage Integrator. These new API applications will enable Workbooks users to seamlessly synchronise Outlook contacts, tasks and meetings with Workbooks as well as enabling users to synchronise Order and Invoice information from Workbooks directly into Sage Line 50.

James Kay, Chief Technology Officer, at Workbooks.com comments “The new functionality in Version 3.0 provides a fantastic platform for a number of forthcoming releases, extending our ability to provide new and exciting areas of functionality”.
