Microsoft Project Substitute | Easy Projects .NET

Is there a good online substitute for Microsoft Project?

Many project managers have asked that question over the years, especially lately as web based applications become more and more prominent in our personal and business lives. Why are they looking to replace Microsoft Project? Perhaps they would like to take their projects online, or improve their team's collaboration, or reduce costs. Whatever the reason might be, most of these project managers find that there is really no good substitute to completely replace their existing Microsoft Project workflow.

So what's the solution? It can actually be quite simple, use both. That's right. Use both, Microsoft Project and a web-based project management tool. Your long-term project planning can still stay in Microsoft Project, while the online tool will substitute for your every-day project management tasks.

Substitute Project Management

You don't have to substitute your tried and trusted ways of planning and organizing your projects in Microsoft Project. Keep your project structure in MS Project and then simply export it into the web-based tool such as Easy Projects .NET to share the latest activities with the rest of the team and to keep track of their progress.

Improve Team Collaboration

By implementing an online tool alongside Microsoft Project, you'll immediately introduce a new component to your workflow: collaboration. Now your team no longer has to rely on emails and meetings to share ideas and update on progress but can do it automatically through the system.

Track and Log Time

Once you've set up your entire project structure in Microsoft Project, import it into Easy Projects .NET and watch it come to life as your project team updates progress and tracks the hours they spent on it in real time. You can then import this data back into MS Project to use for reporting or resource management.

Custom Report Generator

A web based project management tool such as Easy Projects .NET can also be great to use to create custom reports. Because your team is constantly updating their tasks the data in the system is always accurate and up-to-date and that means you can get the latest reports on the fly in just a few minutes.
