Desktop and Web Integration
 
Prior to Elements SBM, the small business user had to made a fundamental choice -- the familiarity and ease of use of the desktop application, or the power and affordability of the "available anywhere" Software as a Service web application. But that meant giving something up. Elements bridges the two together in an amazing environment that blurs the lines between what is running on your desktop and what is running over the web.

Which means no compromise.

The Strength of our Hybrid Platform
Your desktop gives you a lot of productivity, and the web gives you the flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time. Elements SBM is the piece that ties them together. It allows a web application to tell you when someone logs into iChat. Gives you a drag and drop connection that allows you to drop a vCard from your hard disc onto Elements to create a contact, then drag a picture out of iPhoto right onto the new contact to attach it.

Store your contacts locally or remotely... use your laptop keychain to limit access to Elements... enjoy iCal / Elements integration... backup online data with .Mac... get a quick snapshot of the day's sales with a Dashboard widget, and much more.

Elements SBM means a whole new way of working with your business. Check out the PDF and video presentations over on the left to see how all of this really works.
