London, UK, December 9, 2005 (XTVWorld.Com) -- StayinFront, Inc., a global provider of enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) applications, decision support tools, data services and eBusiness systems, today announced its latest release, StayinFront CRM 9.3. This release is designed to improve the user experience on Tablet PCs by meeting the highest Microsoft pen-perfect standard  Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 operating(r) of integration within the Microsoft system.

Ideal for mobile sales professionals – such as those in the pharmaceutical industry – Tablet PCs are fully functional, lightweight personal computers that are equipped with screen-sensitive pens. These pens are used directly on the screen to point, select and drag data, or used instead of a keyboard to handwrite notes and input data. Pen-perfect integration supports ink interoperability, uses the pen as a pointing device, optimises for handedness settings, uses gestures as part of its user interaction model and uses handwriting recognition.

“It’s a natural progression that, as leaders in mobile CRM, we take a lead position in the Tablet PC market,� said Tony Bullen, Chief Technology Officer for StayinFront. “StayinFront CRM 9.3 meets the highest standards of Tablet PC technology, creating simplified digital pen input for mobile sales force users that, in turn, fosters higher levels of data accuracy and meaningful sales reporting.�

Some of the user-centric features included in StayinFront CRM 9.3 are portrait awareness, which automatically adjusts the screen and application layout when the user selects portrait mode, and pen aware search fields that permit search values to be easily input directly with the pen. StayinFront CRM 9.3 also supports electronic signature capture, allowing handwritten signatures to be attached to records in the system, factoid aware data entry, which optimises the effectiveness of handwriting recognition based on the type of data being entered, and note dictation, which lets users verbally dictate directly into notes fields.

“StayinFront CRM Tablet PC functionality takes full advantage of the capabilities supported by the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 operating system,� said Chris Barry, Microsoft Tablet PC group product manager. “StayinFront CRM Tablet demonstrates the flexibility and innovative applications Tablet PC technology offers.�
