Knowing the time around the world has never been simpler. The Internet can give you a means to communicate to everyone all over the world. With just a few button clicks you can start chatting. But is it a “good morning” or “good afternoon”? Perhaps, your friend is already sleeping, but you are still waiting…

WR Consulting, an outsourcing company developing enterprise productivity tools, has released ZoneTick v2.4 – a convenient world clock for Windows that can show multiple time zones in Windows taskbar. It replaces the system clock.

The program is very useful when communicating with people in other parts of the globe: such as your friends in other countries, your colleagues in remote offices or in the field, or the home-crowd while you are traveling. This is because ZoneTick displays the times for any amount of different time zones in place of the normal Windows clock. It also allows you to synchronize your clocks with accurate online time-servers.

My customers are scattered throughout North America, South America, the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. ZoneTick has made me more efficient by eliminating the need to look up or manually calculate time differences. Now, at a glance, I know whether a customer might be available. ZoneTick is simple to install and use. I highly recommend it.”

But ZoneTick is not just an enterprise executive productivity tool. People from many walks of life may find it handy. For example, stock and currency traders, ham radio users, pilots, international students on exchanges, the navy and military, or just about everyone with need to keep in touch with someone in another time zone.

ZoneTick uses digital and analog graphical skins that gives you the ability to customize your ZoneTick to fit any desktop style. On top of this, ZoneTick comes with a system of alarms. You can create any amount of alarms, which will play a sound, display a message, launch an application, or open a web-page at the time of your choosing.

ZoneTick’s success is due primarily to its manageability and diversity as an award-winning Windows utility. On top of a highly usable shareware, ZoneTick is also available as a very affordable personal or enterprise productivity tool.

(PRWEB) January 26, 2005

What do international business travelers, ham radio users, travel agents, and eBay snipers have in common? They often need to monitor the time in multiple time zones simultaneously.

A business traveler far away from home needs to know if his or her colleagues might still be in the office. Ham radio users need to know GMT time when communicating with other ham radio enthusiasts. Travel agents want to know local times elsewhere. And an eBay sniper would like to know when biddings for items end in eBay time.

WR Consulting has just released a productivity tool that could help – ZoneTick World Time Zone Clock v2.5. Knowing the time around the world is so much simpler now.

This little world clock runs in your Windows system tray, replacing the native clock. It can show many time zones simultaneously. Running in taskbar, it does not clutter your desktop. It conveniently displays the times in places you have chosen to monitor.

An advanced alarm system comes with it allowing you to set alarms for remote clocks in other time zones. For example, a recurring yearly alarm can remind you about an important event such as birthday. Cron-like format can also be used to execute something every few minutes or hours on certain days of week.

Clocks can also be highlighted with color, dynamically, depending on local clock times. Just glance at that clock in the usual corner of your screen and instantly know whether a remote location is open or closed for business.

The program is very handy when communicating with people in other parts of the globe: such as your friends in other countries, your colleagues in remote offices or in the field, or the home-crowd while you are traveling. ZoneTick will also synchronize your computer clock with accurate Internet atomic time-servers.

Dennis James, Director of Corporate Marketing at Talisma Corporation, said: “If you need to know what is happening around the world, look no further. ZoneTick is a great product. All of us in marketing have purchased one because we do business in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. It saves a lot of calculation when we are planning and setting up meetings.”

Whether you travel from time zone to time zone, have international friends, or are simply on the lookout for high-quality shareware, ZoneTick is the world clock for you!
