Notes from Anton's Desk

What a busy month July has been! First, I want to give a hand to our developers and congratulate them on finishing Version 6.1! With the addition of powerful resource management features, Easy Projects .NET now truly brings you the power of an enterprise project management software, and there is still more to come!

August is shaping up to be just as exciting, if not more than July! I can't reveal too much information, unfortunately all my notes have been stamped "Top Secret", but I can tell you that if you use Gantt charts for your project management, you're in for a big surprise! Just keep your eye on our website.

Oh, and before I sign off, here is an exclusive coupon code that will give you 15% off when purchasing any license until August 31: EP15AUG That's all from me for now, check out the rest of our newsletter and I'll see you in the September edition of Notes from Anton's Desk!

Easy Projects 6.1 Is Out!

Just a few weeks ago, we were happy to introduce an exciting, new update to Easy Projects .NET. Version 6.1 adds rich resource management functionality to Easy Projects with features such as Vacation Planning, Personal Schedules, Resource Loading by Role reports, Resource Balancing and more.

You can find a full list of features along with a short preview video at http://www.easyprojects.net/features61.asp. Version 6.1 is available as a free upgrade to clients with Hosted Licenses, new clients and clients with an active Gold Subscription.

New "Start-Up" Pricing

Ever wonder why volume discounts are only available to large organizations and not to small businesses and project management teams? We have been wondering that ourselves and decided to do something about it. Our answer: New "Start-Up" pricing aimed at small businesses and project management teams.

Available to new clients looking to buy In-House licenses, "Start-Up" pricing allows you to purchase 5 licenses at a low price of $499, which is over $450 in savings compared to our previous pricing structure. This creates a perfect opportunity for smaller project management teams to get into enterprise level project organization and management. You can find further details at: http://www.easyprojects.net/pricing.asp.

Tip of the Month

Q: How can I book off vacation days within Easy Projects .NET?
