"We're able to maintain timelines in a way we could never do before." - CIO, Funrise Toy Co.

In the past, project teams had two choices, manage projects with desktop applications like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Project, or invest in high end software that takes time to implement and adopt. Project teams are tired of trying to share project information by routing desktop files through email. Experienced project managers are finding the low end software tools do not have the powerful project scheduling features they are used to in Microsoft Project. Team members find high end enterprise software cumbersome to learn and, many times, painful to adopt.

Project Insight bridges the gap. Now, savvy project managers do not have to settle for less. Project Insight software supports the intelligent scheduling and resource allocation they require, but maintains its elegant interface and ease of use. What's more, executive management can get status reports just by logging in.
