Project Management Takes Another Step
SUPERSITE MANAGER --- 07/01/2002

Project
management is one of those natural Internet applications,
allowing, in this case, collaboration, real-time updates,
and easy communication among participants. Now, TCC Software
Solutions is trying to up the ante. |

With
The WorkFlow, the maker of Web-based products and a division
of The Computer Company in Hartford, CT has brought in
such features as additional authority levels for different
types of access, automatic email notification of updates,
extended automatic billing reports, and a broad database
search facility. "Basically," says Matthew Hasson,
vice president of TCC Software Solutions Inc., "it
gives the capabilities of having better integration not
only with the people working on the project but also with
the customers and all parties to the project." Which
in turn should shorter time to completion and lower development
costs.
The model for online project management is fairly simple,
the gist being to facilitate real-time Internet-based
collaboration. Project.net Inc., for example, offers such
applications as team collaboration, project portals and
workspaces, and project extranets geared to automating
many of the traditionally sluggish tasks that development
usually entails. It also offers OEM solutions. The Enact
Enterprise System from Entactex also focuses on collaboration
and communication.
"The
reason a company would implement something like this
is that it is a cost-effective way to communicate project
tasks and project duties through an organization,"
says Eileen Hasson, TCC Software Solutions' president.
In today's world, where people are so transient and
the global economy is so demanding, it makes a big difference
to have a tool that can go with today's market trend."
