So we're out of beta ... now what?

We passed an important milestone last week.  After 20 months of part-time but continuous work, CreativePro Office 2 finally came out of public beta!

Is it perfect? Nah, it's got a few bugs, some quirks, and some features need more polish - but it's a solid foundation for the CPO product moving forward.  We're proud of what the product is and excited about it's potential in the coming months.

So what happens now?  Well, the immediate priorities in order are, bug fixes, bug fixes, and bug fixes.  We plan on spending the month of September (and maybe longer) just addressing bugs that users continue to find. And also polishing some features and making them a little simpler and easier to understand.

Another super high priority item is the self hosted product, formerly known as the source code download. We will be releasing a beta version of the self hosted product to existing customers on Monday, September 13th. There is more information on that in this post over here.

After the bug fixes and self hosted product release, should financial support allow, here is a list of features we are really excited to implement:

• Custom sub domains for accounts so you can have myCompany.mycpohq.com.
• A mobile device accessible version of the dashboard.
• Project and task templates so you can set up 1 project with all its tasks, save a template, and create duplicate projects easily from that template.
• Tying expenses and timesheets together with invoices a lot better.
• Estimates that can easily be turned into invoices with 1 click.
• Google docs integration with the file manager.
• A much more refined file manager that shows thumbnails for images, allows commenting for files, versioning, and drag and drop file upload (for HTML 5 browsers).
• Desktop application that allows you to manage your CPO account outside of the browser.
• Better Google calendar integration so that your Google calendar and CPO calendar are always in sync.

There are many other ideas we have but they're a little further on the back burner right now.  Let us know if there's something you'd like to see bumped up the priority list a little bit and we'll take it under consideration.

Thanks for reading!
