SharkPro Software Launches SharkPro Projects
SharkPro Projects overpowers the obstacles to give project and portfolio management to small and mid-sized businesses.
Houston, TX, October 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Today, at the PMI Global Congress, SharkPro Software Corporation announced the general availability of SharkPro Projects, a “ready to go” project and portfolio management solution powered by the industry leading Microsoft Project Server 2010.
“By building on top of Project and Project Server’s strengths, and by focusing on ease of use and out-of-the-box value, SharkPro is positioning itself as a very solid complement to Microsoft EPM,” said Ludovic Hauduc, GM, Work Management Applications, at Microsoft Corporation.
Key features designed to appeal to both CIO’s and end users include:
· “Ready to go” installation and configuration with built-in roles, dashboards, workflows, and reports. SharkPro Provisioner automates the configuration and personalization of SharkPro Projects.
· Instantly available project collaboration improves productivity with collaboration through collaborative workspaces that include project and request generation, time management, calendar, task timer, and social media.
· Easy adoption through an enhanced user experience for team members and non-technical users with an intuitive web interface, web-based project editing, and integration with Microsoft Project Professional 2010.
· “Ready to grow” with a running start and scalable growth path for organizations new to Project and Portfolio Management. SharkPro Projects makes it easy to start with Microsoft Project Server 2010 and expose more powerful features as the organization matures.
· Cost prudent, through lower and predictable IT costs with SharkPro Projects On Demand™, a hosted service for SharkPro Projects.
“We’re helping companies just starting with project collaboration or who want to leverage Microsoft Project,” said Greg Bailey, CEO and founder of SharkPro Software. “No longer do small and mid-sized businesses need to start with a low-end tool and later migrate to Microsoft Project Server. Why should world-class Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) be limited to big businesses?”
