Microsoft Project Server Alternative
LiveProject Collaboration is a powerful alternative to Microsoft Project
Server (earlier known as Microsoft Project Central).
LiveProject Project Collaboration includes these powerful features:
No setup
Installing Microsoft Project Server can be a daunting task even for experienced
IT organizations and downright impractical for small businesses. Organizations can
spend months preparing the rollout of project server, at great cost in terms of
both manpower and investment in software.
With LiveProject Project Collaboration, you can get started today. Our online LiveProject
Server hosts your account. All that is required is a simple account registration.
Users download our client and are ready to start immediately.
Low price
With our competitive pricing, you not only save time, you save money compared to
Microsoft Project Server. Local project managers can often afford investing in LiveProject
from local budgets, avoiding massive enterprise-wide decisions. Because LiveProject
is designed to be user friendly, most companies can deploy without user training,
saving even more time.
Team Members Do Not Need Microsoft Project
Only managers actively updating project plans need to have Microsoft Project installed.
Team members and external clients use LiveProject to collaborate on project plans.
Most team members are interested in their own tasks. With LiveProject they can quickly
scroll down to the essential information. Even without knowing the intricacies of
Microsoft Project, they can start collaborating right away
Online Storage
With your licenses come storage space for projects and other documents on your own
LiveProject Server account.
Registering online for an account automatically creates a secure document area on
our server that all your users can access. Store project plan files and related
documents together, and share with your team or your clients.
Each account has several Gigabytes at their disposal and we offer upgrades, if more
are required.
Project Viewer for Microsoft Project
View Microsoft mpp files stored both locally and online in your account on the LiveProject
Server. The project viewer supports the same features as LiveProject Free Project
Viewer, such as task list, resource list, Gantt charts, project files with subprojects,
custom fields, task details and much more.
Collaborate on Project Files
LiveProject Project Collaboration enables your team to make suggestions to projects
directly from their viewers. Suggestions are visible to other team-members and are
ultimately approved or rejected by the project manager before being included in
the project plan.
Through your account on the LiveProject Server, you can share projects and documents,
and collaborate on project plans with external clients. Your clients will be able
to track project progress and even provide feedback into your plans.
User Management
Control user access to individual folders and sub-folders. Grant administrator rights
and assign user capabilities using our User Management form. With user management,
you can effectively share documents and projects with multiple clients using just
one account.
Inviting new users is as easy as providing their e-mail addresses and if you run
short projects you can re-assign licenses after use.
Summary: An Easy Project Server Alternative
LiveProject Project Collaboration provides a powerful yet affordable alternative
to Microsoft Project Server. You can start collaborating today, without
the need for IT involvement and complicated deployment plans.
LiveProject's powerful features are a great option for small businesses that need
to save on their budgets, as well as large organizations that have requirements
for a professional collaboration tool.
