You're searching for the last proposal you faxed to a potential client, and the frenzied hunt has made you borderline late for your appointment with her. It wouldn't be a problem--you can call to explain your tardiness--except that you've misplaced her cell phone number.

If this sounds like a typical day, you're like a lot of busy entrepreneurs. But who has time to find better ways of managing the day-to-day when you have a business to run? Well, finding better ways to do things might very well mean getting software to do them for you--whether you're managing client relationships, streamlining your finances or anything in between.

This year's "Entrepreneur's Complete Guide to Software" includes two charts of the latest products and Internet-based services to help you identify software that can perform the tasks--better and faster--that you'd rather not do. We cover 16 different categories, from accounting tools to utilities, plus--new this year--applications for handheld devices.
