At International Legal Counsels, we advise clients on how to resolve legal issues while taking advantage of business opportunities.

EP immediately resolved the majority of the problems. Management of the clients’ list, assignments and tasks, tracking billing became a breeze and saved a lot of headaches and unnecessary duplication in various programs.

Challenge

Before choosing Easy Project we were using a combination of Excel and Outlook to manage our projects. The major challenges were tracking project’s progress, changing responsibilities, re-assigning tasks, managing resources, billings entries and managing financial data.

Solution and Results

Combination of price, great support, comprehensiveness of the system, easy-to-learn system, intuitive interface were the factors that convinced us to choose Easy Projects over three other competing products.

EP immediately resolved the majority of the problems. Management of the clients’ list, assignments and tasks, tracking billing became a breeze and saved a lot of headaches and unnecessary duplication in various programs. Your ability to multi-task is obviously increased by using EasyProjects.

The additional capabilities that we have not expected were convenient time and expense entries, customized status of projects and tasks, posting of messages within the assignment, e-mail notifications, and re-assignment within the same task.

We usually manage 40-50 projects at once and I, as a manager, rather than having to spend a 30-45 minutes every day for keeping up with the assignments, spend only about one hour a week to discuss the deadlines and workload, and 10-15 minutes a day for entering time and re-assignments/assignments.

Convenience and making sure that no individual task or project falls through the cracks – that’s what keeps us using EasyProjects!
