Networking or workgroup features


<IMHO>Project management software isn't helpful to me without web integration. If a client is at a video production house and needs to note something on a project, if they can't just connect with a browser and do what needs to be done, suddenly the app has become more work than it's worth. If they have to call, email... they just broke the communication chain of the project. If they're there and need to send me some files, but can't upload it via the web to the PM tool, I just added extra steps for them and burned their time on something that's supposed to make it all easier.

I've got a license for 10 copies of MS Project, and it's not even installed anywhere. Maybe I need to see what's out there for web integration with that and see what we can do. Or perhaps build our own. Plus, forcing a client to install software is not something I like to do. I don't want to troubleshoot MS Project for the client. Nor do I want to pass the buck and have them burn time with MS on it.

The stuff we have now manages the project. Assets, communication between us, communication between us and the client, timelines... are all part of the project. Building in a break in that is just asking for trouble.</IMHO>
 
From what I can see,the beta that was just released supports export to HTML at least :)

I see what you mean, but what do you have in mind?? Web-sharing??? That's not a trivial thing to put together.
I guess you'd need a server that all users could access with read-write permissions and a file format that accepts several users working on the same file at the same time…

The company I work for has already built a project management system that does all this. It's completely web-based. Sure it requires a web server, but it would run on your average $8/mo shared hosting plan.

Edit: *shuffles through discs*
Oh, I have MS Project Server...
*starts installing*
Guess we'll see how that works
*blushes*

Nice! We sure don't have that here.

I guess you could export to the Project file format and use that then :) (though I've clearly never seen the Project Server running and have no idea how it works - I only recenly installed Project on a PC here to take a look at what OmniPlan migth look like :) ).
