ProjectTrack 2007 - Personal Edition Overview

The Personal Edition of ProjectTrack is targeted to anyone that needs to manage projects in a single user environment.

ProjectTrack compliments applications such as MS Project, but does not replace them. Rather than a planning tool, ProjectTrack is a program to help you execute your plan; saving you time with all the administrative work that surrounds projects.
or example, if you use a spreadsheet or word processor to keep track of action items (to-dos), issues, milestones, etc. You can use ProjectTrack to keep track of all those items from a single location. You can have multiple companies and projects, each one of them with its own set of information. But keeping track of things is not all you can do with ProjectTrack. Most projects generate documents that need to be easily accessible. They can be linked directly to the project, saving time and stress searching. What about looking for a document related to a project that was finished some time ago? With ProjectTrack, the document can remain linked for easy access.
If, during the course of a year, you spend 2 or more hours looking for documents in your computer, ProjectTrack will pay for itself.
The best way to decide if ProjectTrack is right for you is to try it. Download our evaluation version and decide for yourself. This version doesn't have any limitations, but it will remind you to register after 30 days.
