Often the information handling in a project consists of a never ending exchange of email between the project members. Email becomes the only tool used for communication, document storage and version handling, which is both time consuming and quality degrading.
Project participants have to access a projects information on a regular basis. The ability to access the project information from somewhere else besides the home office is often wanted when traveling or inviting some external contact into the project. Project members and participants can be travelling a lot, be geographically and organizationally spread out or simply temporarily work elsewhere. Providing them all with easy access to the project and its documents and information is not always an easy task.
Before launching the project it can take a lot of time and work to reach an agreement about client software. It also takes time to educate and train the administrators, participants and managers in the use of the client software complicating the desired quick and smooth project start. To manage a project, a web based project management tool is needed.
ProjectCoordinatorŽ is a web based project management tool that can be used on any computer with internet access and a web browser. ProjectCoordinatorŽ has no client software to install and it has an easy to use interface. Education of the regular users are usually not necessary and the training of administrators and project/research managers can successfully be a short training session by telephone reducing the time and need of expensive travelling.
