RationalPlan scheduling mechanism updated

Stand By Soft has released RationalPlan 3.15, a project management software application developed to assist project managers in creating plans, tracking progress, allocating resources, managing budgets and analysing workload, states SBWire.

According to the company, the new version comes with a major change in its planning and scheduling mechanism, an easier to use interface, and some more useful features.

Important changes in this version are the added shortcut icons for the guide when hidden, copy/paste tasks with assigned resources, added successors tab in task details view, the ability to export more data to Excel, and bug fixes.

Oranged Software's business management application has benefitted from more than 150 new features, updates and enhancements with improved Studiometry, reports Graphics.com.

Studiometry, popular among photography, design and production professionals, is a solution for organising, planning, invoicing, tracking and creating with client and project data.

It features such functionality as networking, multiple employee support (with permissions and hour tracking), simultaneous search of all data, multiple currencies (with automatic exchange rate updating), multiple contacts per client, project and client statuses, and modifiable taxes.

Project Manager Online has released new expense tracking features to its online project management software, according to PR-USA.net.

Expense tracking software can help project managers capture any type of expense. Project managers need to be able to keep track of their current versus planned expenditure, decide whether budget needs to be reallocated and report these expenses to the project sponsor.

"There are numerous costs associated with running projects," says Jason Westland, CEO of Project Manager Online. "All too often, costs escalate and money is spent on extra items that were not necessarily planned for."
