Microsoft gold certified partner Fulcrum Business Solutions presented the Microsoft Project 2007 Server - set for release in October - at a recent event in Bryanston.
Interested industry players, existing customers and members of the media were given a foretaste of the project management solution that has been in development for the past three years.
"Designed to work in tandem with the Microsoft Office 2007 suite, the Project 2007 Server is far more rich in functionality than the previous version (the Project 2003 Server)," says Fulcrum CEO Andre Wolmarans.
Fulcrum hopes its 84 local customers - 45 of which are in the top 100 of SA`s largest corporations, claims Wolmarans - will migrate to the 2007 version when it becomes available in October.
In a statement, Microsoft states this enterprise project management solution is suitable for effectively managing and coordinating work ranging from one-time projects to complex programs across the entire project life cycle.
The main advantages of the 2007 version are:
* Budget-tracking and cost resources permit better financial insight and tracking.
* The proposals capability in Microsoft Office Project Web Access manages plans and activities prior to project approval.
* The Activity Plan capability of Office Project Web Access helps manage ongoing operations activities after project completion.
* The Reporting Data Service permits easy user reporting with common business reporting tools such as Microsoft Office Excel.
* The Cube Building Service, which allows users to build portfolio analyser cubes with more data options for sophisticated analysis and reporting.
