Description
Aimed at individual users who want a simple, intuitive, and graphically rich contact and personal information manager (PIM), doOrganizer from the Netherlands-based GemX, offers an appealing utility that's flexible and easy to use. Although this current release is for single users only, the tool offers some truly innovative features, even when compared to more established players.
We installed GemX on Windows XP. (It runs on Windows 2000 too.) Installation was effortless, and doOrganizer impressed us with its visual savvy. It offers a highly graphical, approachable interface that reminded us of a Mac X OS application, with smart use of colorful icons throughout. We imported contacts from Outlook and CSV files, and doOrganizer offers card and list views with good control features. We liked that you could flag contacts using about two dozen styles (with colored icons) for grouping and sorting. GemX launches your default mail client to send e-mail.
As a general-purpose PIM, doOrganizer has all the basics, including storing contacts, appointments, and tasks. The opening 'home' screen is a bit cluttered, but almost everything else in doOrganizer offers a clean and well-thought-out user interface. A winning feature is the ability to associate items by clicking on unique link icons. We used it to associate notes with events and contacts, for example. Products like ACT! have a true relational database, but the data relationships are strictly defined. GemX lets you associate items arbitrarily, which, arguably, mimics the way we brainstorm.
DoOrganizer also offers mind maps, planners, and journals as standard features. The mind map lets you brainstorm and draw diagrams or business workflow charts to solidify ideas. Of course, it's not as comprehensive or powerful as MindJet's MindManager, for example, but it's a polished tool, nonetheless. We liked that these idea maps are rendered with pro-looking 3-D shading.
The planner feature lets you overlay different tasks (like projects at work, travel, and vacation) over a calendar using different color blocks to better manage your schedule. GemX's doOrganizer offers a functional and graphically smart interface that will let you organize your work and personal information with impressive flexibility." If you have the right tools at your disposal, You can do more than you thought possible. Carefully designed and built for individuals and businesses, do-Organizer supplies much needed solutions for information management.
Ability to use collected information effectively is the main focus point of do-Organizer application. Finding useful information about every conceivable subject is getting easier by the day. Problems arise when it comes to organizing and putting this enormous amount of information in practical use effectively.
These days, people are overloaded with information. Struggling to keep track of what they have, or not. We have built do-Organizer to address time and information management challenges, by offering an easy to use productivity tool for taking charge of time and information.
