Is there a real replacement for Microsoft Project?
The reason why many project managers seek a replacement for Microsoft Project in their organization can be linked to the lack of team collaboration. They need a better solution to enable their team to communicate with each other, something that Microsoft Project fails to provide.
The problem with finding a replacement is that while many web-based project management tools offer features to fulfill the collaboration aspect, they don't quite deliver on the project management capabilities equivalent to those of Microsoft Project. The search to replace MS Project usually ends abruptly right after that.
But there is a solution! You can find a web-based tool that will compliment your existing Microsoft Project workflow so you can use both of them side by side. You can learn more about the benefits of using web based project management tools together with Microsoft Project, and steps on how to pick out the right solution in our whitepaper, and try Easy Projects .NET free for 15 days to see how it will compliment you.
The goal is not to replace Microsoft Project but rather to compliment it. With a web based tool such as Easy Projects .NET, you can export your project data right out of MS Project and share with online with the rest of your team. Now everyone will always know the latest status and progress.
The biggest benefit to using a web based project tool alongside Microsoft Project is the improved team collaboration. Your project team members can now upload and share files, post messages on the activity message boards and even host real-time online meetings with up to 15 participants.
Instead of using 3-rd party time tracking tools, you can rely on the web-based application in assisting your project team members to track the hours they spent on their tasks right down to the last minute. You can then import this data back into MS Project to be used for reports or resource management.
If you need a report on the fly with the most up to date data, you can turn to a web based tool such as Easy Projects .NET. Because your team is constantly updating the progress of their tasks and the hours they spend on them, you can be sure to quickly and easily generate accurate reports when needed.
Easy Projects .NET was the best alternative we found to Microsoft Projects. It's a small yet powerful app that really helps manage project development online. Great work, keep it up!
