SharedPlan unveils Pro 5.4

SharedPlan Software has released version 5.4 of its Pro project planning and management software for Mac OS, says 7th Space.

Pro version 5.4 extends SharedPlan's project planning and management software available to users that need to complete a project, whether they are using a Mac, Windows, or the Web.

Specifically, Pro 5.4 improves on the company's existing cost management through additional reporting options that allow project leaders and team members to stay on top of project costs as they are accrued.

PTG, a Microsoft Certified Partner and VMware Enterprise Partner, recently implemented a project management solution for the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau (DCVB) in Durham, North Carolina, states PR.com

Faced with limited resources within a small organisation, the DCVB needed a solution for effectively communicating project updates and the ability to keep executive management apprised of project progress in a timely manner.

To implement a cost-effective solution, PTG included a detailed project plan and timeline of how SharePoint would work for the DCVB. A custom-developed online tutorial provided by PTG gave the entire DCVB staff access to the new system in a simplified, easy to follow format.

When Scott Coffman came on board as associate director of applications and programming for Toledo-based Owens Community College last year, one of his first tasks was to overhaul project management, writes Campus Technology.

"Up until last year, everyone was managing the projects as productively as they could on their own," explained Coffman. "There was little, if any, sharing of information or automation involved."

That changed when Owens Community College signed up for a subscription-based software-as-a-service project management and collaboration system from Seattle-based Daptiv, developer and marketer of Daptiv PPM.
