Customer Story: Moriarty Recording

Record Producer Bill Moriarty and his manager Chris Radwanski use Highrise to keep track of all of Bill’s album projects. Bill tells us all about it below.

Which Highrise features do you use most?

We actually use Cases the most. Since it’s just two of us we don’t need the full project management of Basecamp. Besides individual contacts we make a “Company” for each band and a “Case” for each album. Everything important that gets said about an album goes into the album’s “case”.

What did you use before and why did you switch?

I used to use Daylite. A few months into it I realized I don’t want to maintain a huge database. It was asking for so much information and offered so many parameters I thought if I didn’t fill them in I’d be missing some crucial business success tool. Nope. Pretty soon I dreaded opening Daylite, updating its database became just another chore and inevitably it simply didn’t get updated. It became useless. Highrise has been the opposite: quick to use, no learning curve, we use what features we want, it always works.

Tip: Using Highrise export as an offline backup
Export your data

We were recently talking to a customer who occasionally needs to access information in Highrise while he’s offline. His solution: He exports all his data from Highrise every few weeks so he’s got an offline backup on his hard drive.

Then he can access that information at any time, even if he’s without Internet access. It’s a handy tip for anyone who’s found themselves offline and wanting to get info on a Highrise contact, note, etc.
