Project management system—who uses what?

My dilemma:
We are a small Design Marketing firm that uses a hodge-podge of different software systems to manage the various aspects of a project lifecycle.

My wish:
To find a single system that will:
1. Generate work estimates
2. Convert estimates to project tickets
3. Track all time and resources for a project
4. Generate an invoice at any interval and/or at the end of the project

Currently we use Word to generate an estimate, Filemaker Pro to set up an actual project number/ticket and track time, Basecamp (online) to manage files and correspondance with client, and Word to generate an invoice. No two of those communicate with the other so there are huge inefficiencies. Been in the business 20 yrs, and even with the ubiquity of computing, nobody out there as solved the "universal" project management tool.

Has anyone at least found a system that minimizes the number of software systems needed?

If you go to indesign mac forum and search for "project management" or "job management" something should pop up. We've discussed this several times.
