For years I have been telling people about one of my favorite personal productivity software products -- the Paper Tiger. We've helped slews of clients implement the software along with other productivity systems as they claimed their Office Miracle™!
Today, I'm thrilled I can let the cat out of the bag and let you know that not only is the Monticello Corporation (makers of the Paper Tiger) re-branding, but they will also be launching an awesome new product very soon and you could be in on it by being a beta tester. Keep reading to learn more.
The Online Version Is Coming Soon
In their formal news brief Monticello says:
"Now, we are very pleased to announce that The Paper Tiger software will soon be available on the Internet as a Web-based application! The full functionality of The Paper Tiger Windows-based software can now be found in your Internet browser (Microsoft Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) - very easy to setup and to use. If you like the Windows version of The Paper Tiger software, you will love the Internet version!"
I could not be more excited about this and about being on the Alpha testing team. I will be among a small group of professionals that will be trying out the software very soon. We've been providing our thoughts based on client comments and I'm "chomping at the bit" to get my hands on the software.

For those of you that know and love your Paper Tiger, you'll note that the interface looks very familiar.
"Conversions to Paper Tiger Online will be Painless"
The development team has assured me that anyone that has a current version of Paper Tiger will be able to seamlessly convert their data to the online version. That is one of the first things I'll be testing when the Alpha opens. Do you have things you think I should test or suggest?
Mac Users Will Have Easier Access for their Document Management
While the desktop version of Paper Tiger could be used on a Mac, sometimes people had challenges making the Windows version work well. Mac folks out there...your day has come! You can now enjoy the full functionality of The Paper Tiger in the Online Edition.
Consider Joining the BETA Test Group
The beta version of the Web-based product is soon to be released. The number of beta testers is going to be very limited - if you are interested in testing the new version, simply add your name and email to the Beta list. We will notify you shortly if you are selected to participate in the Beta. Beta testers will have direct feedback into the new product. If you don't make the first beta release, stay tuned because we will be adding people continuously during the Beta period.
Everyone who signs up for the Beta program will be automatically entered into the April 3rd, 2010 drawing for a NEW APPLE iPad in your honor!
Organizer and Virtual Assistant Training Coming Too
I know I have a number of professional organizers and virtual assistants that read this blog and I don't want to leave you out either. Work is underway for a completely overhauled certification program on the Paper Tiger Online, desktop and network versions. Be on the look-out for information coming soon.
