6. Testimonial of the Month
"As the product leader, for a small company with limited resources, I resorted to offshore personnel to augment my development efforts. The process of managing a team of offshore developers was time consuming and turnaround of even small tasks were weeks and sometimes months to implement.
Since using EasyProjects we have noticed turnaround of request in hours instead of days. EasyProjects was very easy to install and management is non-essential. With workflow build in, task are routed to the most intuitive resource for the project. This workflow engine not only reduces the workload on project management it also helps maintain security that allows customers' access to their project's bugs and request while maintaining company dialog out of sight."
Even though the software installed without issue, I had issues with my server and Logic Soft was able to assist me in ensure that my install was correct and secure.
In my opinion, for the money EasyProjects would be hard to beat."
