			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you own a creative or tech service business, you know how difficult it can  be to manage projects, staff and your clients. You have to keep your team  organised, manage and assign tasks to staff, distribute information, keep  clients up to date on progress and ensure quotes and invoices get sent out on  time. The most important aspect of this is that you need a communication channel  where your team and your clients can collaborate on projects and tasks.</p>
<p>Many online workers rely on their email account and perhaps a spreadsheet to  keep track of their projects and communicate with the other members of the team.  However, as soon as you start managing more than a handful of projects and  clients or have to work whilst on the move then emails and spreadsheets aren’t  going to cut it. You will inevitably start looking for some form of robust  project management software.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.proworkflow.com/" target="_blank">ProWorkflow</a> is an online project  management software tool which allows you to manage all of your projects from a  central location. ProWorkflow is currently helping many thousands of customers  globally to optimize their business processes, manage staff resources, track  projects, tasks and time and keep on top of it all!</p>
<p>Let’s see the features of ProWorkflow.com in full detail:</p>
<p><strong>Features of ProWorkflow.com</strong></p>
<p>When you first login to ProWorkflow, you will see the following dashboard:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11690" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/index.0012.png" alt="" width="510" height="291" /></p>
<p>The dashboard consists of 4 main expandable sections &#8211; Projects, Tasks, Time  and Invoicing. Then there is a navigation sidebar which contains many more  options to manage your projects, create or assign tasks and perform other  activities.</p>
<p>The “<strong>Search</strong>” section, placed at the right top of the screen lets you  search for projects, tasks, companies, contacts and notes. This is handy, when  you quickly want to know the details about a particular project, task or client.</p>
<p>The “<strong>Recent Items</strong>” column lists all the recent activity of your  account. It shows the projects and tasks you were recently working on so you can  save valuable time by jumping straight to the item you need.</p>
<p><strong>The Projects Section</strong></p>
<p>The projects section allows you to create and manage your projects. You can  access the Projects section from your dashboard or from the sidebar.</p>
<p>Clicking “New Project” opens a new browser pop up window where you can add  all the details regarding your project. This includes adding a title, client,  specifying a category, choosing priority, adding deadlines and more. There is a  WYSiWYG editor which lets you add a description to your project.</p>
<p>In addition you can add more staff to your project and choose a project  manager. Staff added to your projects will automatically get an email  notification that they have been assigned to upcoming project or task.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11691" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/index.0022.png" alt="" width="510" height="751" /></p>
<p>When you have finished adding all the details, you can start adding tasks  from the “Project Details” page. You can also enclose a variable in the task  name to help better identify tasks.</p>
<p>Adding time to tasks is easy. Just click the time link next to any task to  add time, either manually or through a start/stop time tracker.</p>
<p>The recorded time is attached to the task and added to the total time spent  for the project. In addition it’s added to the user’s weekly timesheet. There  are plenty of time summary reports you can access later if needed.</p>
<p>One of the great time saving features is the ‘Edit All Tasks’ screen where  you can bulk edit your project’s tasks. Use this screen to assign tasks to  staff, add start and due dates, allocated times and a task description:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11692" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/index.0032.png" alt="" width="510" height="301" /></p>
<p>I particularly liked that most information on the “Project Details” page  could be edited by inline editing – double clicking where the fields show green:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11693" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Inline-Edit.png" alt="" width="424" height="466" /></p>
<p><strong>Send Messages to Your Team Members</strong></p>
<p>The “Message” section lets you send quick messages to all or some of your  Team members. To send a message, click “Add” under the Message panel and this  will open a WYSIWYG editor where you can type the message and send it to  selected staff.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11695" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Message.png" alt="" width="515" height="366" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11696" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Message-Sent.png" alt="" width="520" height="234" /></p>
<p>The messages sent can be set as private or public and there is an option to  send an email as well as just have the message appear on screen. The messaging  in ProWorkflow is a great way to collaborate on a project as all project members  are on the same page, literally! Conversations are stored and archived with the  project so there’s no more hunting around or missing emails.</p>
<p><strong>Upload Files and Documents to Share with your Team Members</strong></p>
<p>The “Files” section lets you create folders and upload files from your  computer. You can upload images, documents or any other file which you want to  share with other members working on the same project. Files can also be uploaded  to individual tasks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11697" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/index.0051.png" alt="" width="510" height="211" /></p>
<p>The File sharing feature is useful for two reasons. First, your uploaded  files can be organized in folders and sub-folders so you can quickly share a  folder with any team member and let him view or download any files that he may  need. Second, all the uploaded files are kept safe in your ProWorkflow account  and you don’t have to use third party websites for uploading your files.</p>
<p><strong>Project Timeline</strong></p>
<p>The Project timeline lets you list all the projects and tasks which are  assigned to a particular day of the work calendar. The timeline is similar to a  gantt chart and can be a great help with planning workflow. You can also use the  timeline to see the workload for a particular staff member, project or client.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Timeline.png" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11698" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Timeline.png" alt="" width="520" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>The project timeline is a very easy way to know how much work is pending, how  much progress has been made and what tasks may be due or needing work done on a  particular day.</p>
<p><strong>Create and Manage Invoices</strong></p>
<p>You can create invoices from ProWorkflow’s “Invoicing” section and manage the  billing. An Invoice can be made from a quote, from a project’s tracked time, a  date range of time tracked or manually. Here is how the invoice panel of  ProWorkflow appears:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11699" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Invoice-Page.png" alt="" width="520" height="282" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11701" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PWF_Invoice.png" alt="" width="520" height="466" /></p>
<p>We’ve only scratched the surface of what this powerful application is capable  of. To find out more and try for yourself, sign up for a ProWorkflow account <a href="http://www.proworkflow.com/PWF_subscription_signup.cfm" target="_blank">here</a> or get  the free 14 day trial account <a href="http://www.proworkflow.com/PWFassistance_privateDemo.cfm" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<p><strong>Why Use ProWorkflow for Project Management?</strong></p>
<p>Although there are a lot of web based project management applications, here  are a few reasons why you should choose ProWorkflow for managing your projects:</p>
<p>1. You can have unlimited projects, tasks, clients and contractors!</p>
<p>2. ProWorkflow is highly configurable, the look and feel of the application  can be tailored to match your brand and a range of settings allow you to  optimize ProWorkflow to suit your business. Administrators also have granular  control of user permissions for both staff and clients.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11604 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sample.jpg" alt="" width="536" height="104" /></p>
<p>Your project will start with 4 empty columns: Done, Current, Backlog, and Icebox.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pivotaltracker.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-11605 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pivotal.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>You will also get a “tips” box in the bottom right corner helping you get familiarized with how Pivotal Tracker works.</p>
<p>Before you begin adding tasks to your project, I suggest you head on over the button that says “View” and click on “Members.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11606 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/setting.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="271" /></p>
<p>The resultant window is where you can add others to your project.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11607 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/create1.jpg" alt="" width="549" height="214" /></p>
<p>You can add members and categorize them as Owner, Member, or a Viewer.</p>
<p>Returning to the main project, each task is called a “story” in Pivotal Tracker. Click on the “Add Story” button and enter the details of the task that will appear under the Icebox column.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11608 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/icebox.jpg" alt="" width="306" height="411" /></p>
<p>You can categorize each task as a feature of the program, a bug, a chore, or a release. Points can be set for the task that you can use to signify its priority or the program’s progress level. Remember to assign the task to the relevant group member. Once you click on the “Save” button, your task will be saved and you can drag it to the “Current” or “Backlog” column.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11609 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/current.jpg" alt="" width="506" height="222" /></p>
<p>Then the relevant group member will take a look at the task and complete it. Finished stories can be reviewed by the project leader or client who has the power to accept or reject the task.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11610 aligncenter" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/accept.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="167" /></p>
<p>Accepted tasks are moved to the Done tab.</p>
<p>Pivotal Tracker has a smooth flow and will take little time getting used to. For coders working as group, the site can be of great use.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for a simple task management app? Chances are that you have already gone through most of the web has to offer.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet has recently seen a lot of progress in the field of online collaboration. When we are working on a project as a group and group members have to work remotely, online collaboration becomes a wonderful way to bridge the physical gap.</p>

Your email is not the perfect place to store all the data because often things get mixed up and this may eventually hurt your business.

If you want a better way to organize your projects - you must use a project management system. A project management system gives you, your team members and your clients an online dashboard where you can see the development of a project and collaborate with multiple people and clients.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you run an online business, you know how difficult it can be to  manage different projects and work with multiple clients simultaneously. Your  email is not the perfect place to store all the data because often things get  mixed up and this may eventually hurt your business.</p>
<p>If you want a better way  to organize your projects &#8211; you must use a project management system. A project  management system gives you, your team members and your clients an online  dashboard where you can see the development of a project and collaborate with  multiple people and clients.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Mavenlink</strong></a> is an  interactive workplace and one of the best companies to focus extensively on  improving the interactions between business, consultants and clients. Using  Mavenlink, you can manage all your projects from a central place, create  timelines and documentation, accept contracts and manage your resources.</p>
<p>This  saves you time and money and more importantly, your clients and team members  enjoy the work flow and ease of use.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10731" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ddfrvfws_203dmp9hfhd_b.png" alt="ddfrvfws_203dmp9hfhd_b" width="515" height="333" /></a></p>
<p><img src="images/ddfrvfws_203dmp9hfhd_b.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>Mavenlink&#8217;s in built system guides you, your team members and your clients  through out the completion of a project &#8211; from proposal to payment.</p>
<h4>The Mavenlink Project Workspace</h4>
<p>You can start using the Mavenlink project workspace by signing up for a free  account <a href="https://www.mavenlink.com/signup" target="_blank">here</a>. Mavenlink also  supports logging in using your Google or Google Apps account, Myspace, Yahoo,  Facebook, AOL or using an Open ID.</p>
<p>Once you have signed up, login to your Mavenlink project workspace and you  will see the Mavenlink dashboard as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10732" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ddfrvfws_204cmvq6dpj_b.png" alt="ddfrvfws_204cmvq6dpj_b" width="515" height="304" /></a></p>
<p><img src="images/ddfrvfws_204cmvq6dpj_b.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>The most prominent part of the dashboard is the projects section. This  section contains a summary of the project status as well as the recent posts of  the projects on which you are working.</p>
<p>To start working on a project, first you will have to create a workspace  where you can add details about your project and invite clients or consultants  to your workspace.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10733" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ddfrvfws_205dhqttxgv_b.png" alt="ddfrvfws_205dhqttxgv_b" width="400" height="425" /></a></p>
<p><img src="images/ddfrvfws_205dhqttxgv_b.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>When the workspace is ready and you have invited the clients or consultants,  you can start posting messages on the workspace and upload the necessary files.  Your project collaborators will be able to view your message, comment on it or  they can post a new message on the workspace.</p>
<p>This is very useful, all the conversations of a project are organized and you  don&#8217;t miss any important message or guideline.</p>
<p>By default, the posts are visible to all the members of your project.  However, you can choose that a post may go out to a specific member. The members  of your project can reply to posts directly from their Email, without having to  login to Mavenlink dashboard.</p>
<p>This is how the projects tab looks inside Mavenlink dashboard.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10734" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ddfrvfws_206dwhkzqks_b.gif" alt="ddfrvfws_206dwhkzqks_b" width="496" height="535" /></a></p>
<p><img src="images/ddfrvfws_206dwhkzqks_b.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>You can go to a workspace by clicking on the project title. The activity feed  tab provides a listing of all the posts across all of your projects, so you can  use this to know the recent activity across all your work.</p>
<p>There is also a feature known as Project tracker. This enables you to add or  manage tasks and deliverables required to complete your project. For each of  these, assignments can be made, dates can be set and status can be tracked.</p>
<p>You can also add key dates and milestones which act as a deadline for tasks  to be completed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mavenlink.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10735" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ddfrvfws_207dmgd2sd6_b.png" alt="ddfrvfws_207dmgd2sd6_b" width="323" height="392" /></a></p>
<p><img src="images/ddfrvfws_207dmgd2sd6_b.png" alt="" /></p>
<h4>Recently Released Trusted Networks</h4>
<p>Working with a mavenlink network  provides organizations a single place to manage their internal and external  communication. To create a network in Mavenlink, sign in to your Mavenlink  dashboard and click &#8220;Create a Network&#8221; from the status bar.</p>
<p>Then provide a  name and headline for your network along with a meaningful description. Then hit  Create and your network is ready.</p>
<p>The public facing site provides visibility  to visitors, partners and potential clients. It also provides anyone to quickly  engage with your network. You are able to customize your network&#8217;s brand  identity and more importantly, visitors are able to quickly see who is in your  network and the strength of the team.</p>
<p>If they have immediate needs they can  quickly contact the network director and begin a conversation. If any visitor is  interested to learn more about your team, he can click through to the &#8220;Our  members&#8221; tab. This tab provides vital information about individual network  members.</p>

Mavenlinks  network technology also allow its members to interact freely in a private  collaborative space, viewable to only network members.</p>
<p>The team can share information to the group or message individual tem members  about client opportunities. Network administrators can notify the wholle network  group about upcoming events, key dates and important announcements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leaving a good impression on your customers is the key element in the success of any business. The way you communicate with your customers reflects on how high you value them. Attention to little things is of utmost important because you want your business to have loyal customers who come back for your services every time.</p>
<p>To give your customers what they want, you first have to know their wants. One way to go about it would be to collect feedback from your customers about a particular issue that you feel needs improvement. “<a href="http://www.nicereply.com/" target="_blank">Nicereply</a>” is a perfect example of this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nicereply.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10359" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/nicereply.png" alt="nicereply" width="453" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Nicereply is a free to use website that helps you improve your interaction with your customers. This is achieved by improving the email messages sent to customers.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10360" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/nicereply2.png" alt="nicereply2" width="500" height="138" /></p>
<p>The way it all works is quite simple. You create an account on Nicereply and obtain a link which you should add to the signature of the email. A small description could be included in the signature, asking customers to click on the link and indicate their satisfaction with the email message. When they click on the link, their response is observed by Nicereply and recorded in your Nicereply account. You can view the overall statistics of a certain email message and see how successful it is in satisfying customers. The nature of the email can be anything: from an automated response to something offering tickets and coupons.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10361" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/nicereply3.png" alt="nicereply3" width="500" height="387" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10362" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/nicereply4.png" alt="nicereply4" width="419" height="268" /></p>
<p>The customer service representatives in your company can have individual accounts at Nicereply. This will form a healthy competitive environment in which each employee will be motivated to excel amongst his peers when it comes to customer satisfaction.</p>
<p>Nicereply works as a wonderful tool in determining whether or not your emails are up to the mark. Click <a href="http://www.nicereply.com/" target="_blank">here</a> to visit Nicereply.

		<description><![CDATA[Stress and long hours are part of every project manager’s life who battle to get the most out of the resources at hand to achieve the scope. The main goals are to be on time, within budget and deliver quality; a combination that can be impossible to plan and achieve and can be devastating for some project managers.

We all know that achieving these 3 things together is theoretically impossible. Most often, project managers sacrifice quality and budget just to achieve the set deadlines or have a strict budget and sacrifice quality and push deadlines. There are exceptions where all bricks align and delivery is within the planned scope; however to achieve this requires a lot of planning, effort and time which we don’t have at disposal.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stress and long hours are part of every project manager’s life who battle to  get the most out of the resources at hand to achieve the scope. The main goals  are to be on time, within budget and deliver quality; a combination that can be  impossible to plan and achieve and can be devastating for some project managers.</p>
<p>We all know that achieving these 3 things together is theoretically  impossible. Most often, project managers sacrifice quality and budget just to  achieve the set deadlines or have a strict budget and sacrifice quality and push  deadlines. There are exceptions where all bricks align and delivery is within  the planned scope; however to achieve this requires a lot of planning, effort  and time which we don’t have at disposal.</p>
<p>Project managers are people that need to multitask and manage not only the  project but all aspects of the project including organizing and motivating the  people. We can group this into five main areas: planning, organizing,  coordinating, motivating and controlling.<ins datetime="2010-05-06T15:42" cite="mailto:Dejan.Petreski"></ins></p>
<p>Planning a project can be extensive and exhausting mostly because the  process towards defining tasks, assigning resources, estimating costs, setting  milestones is usually very complex. On the other hand, the project manager needs  to track and coordinate the project progress on a daily basis. The project  manager needs to be sure that all project members understand and are striving  towards achieving the project goal. And, of course the project manager must  control the project flow and make appropriate adjustments if necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Is it too much for one person to deal with? </strong></p>
<p>Having the right skills is not enough; having the right tools is as important  in order to be efficient and successful.</p>
<p>We have seen a lot of new project management solutions on the market piping  out like mushrooms. Some of them cost even thousands of dollars. Some of them  lack crucial project management features. Most of them lack advanced project  management features. So, how to pick the best one at an affordable price and  still have all the needed features? We all know MS® Project, however a  professional license can cost close to one thousand dollars.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seavusprojectplanner.com/" target="_blank">Seavus Project Planner</a> is  a project planning and tracking software, used to plan and track  projects, manage resources and track project costs. Project Managers use  <a href="http://www.seavusprojectplanner.com/" target="_blank">Seavus Project Planer</a> to organize work and project delivery as well as  to manage resource schedules and scope changes.</p>
<p>The software provides all of the desired productivity and it’s simple to use,  very effective, and most importantly, it will help you win over biggest threats  of your project success.</p>
<h3>How can you utilize Seavus Project Planner?<strong><ins datetime="2010-05-06T15:59" cite="mailto:Dejan.Petreski"></ins></strong></h3>
<p><strong>Define project plans with reduced efforts</strong></p>
<p>As mentioned above the <a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/" target="_blank">project  planning process is the initial and crucial component of the project  lifecycle</a>. If the planning is not done properly, the chances to fail in the  next phases increase exponentially. Seavus Project Planner provides the easiest  environment where project managers can set rational expectations for the  objectives that need to be accomplished. The intuitive and easy-to-use workspace  makes the schedule building, resource allocation and cost assignment effortless  and accurate.</p>
<p><strong>Effectively manage resources and costs</strong></p>
<p>Most projects, if not all projects face limited budgets and resources. It is  <a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/" target="_blank">pure  magic</a> for the project managers to successfully balance budgets and  resources. <a href="http://www.seavusprojectplanner.com/" target="_blank">Seavus Project Planner’s</a> advanced project cost tracking features  empower the project manager to achieve effective cost tracking and avoid  spending more than the project actually has. On the other hand, resource  management is eased with resource availability tracking and over allocation  management, hence allowing assignments’ adjustments to avoid conflicts in  tasks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.seavusprojectplanner.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9627" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/viewResUsage.PNG" alt="viewResUsage" width="520" height="392" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Gain project control and keep guard on the project progress</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/" target="_blank">Seavus  Project Planner</a> is software that will help you not only to set rational  expectations for the objectives to be accomplished, but to present precise  information to every team member regarding their tasks and deadlines. Using  Gantt charts, resource tables, tracking toolbar and customizable forms the  project is clearly communicated to team members. In addition, the intuitive  workspace provides opportunity to track and control the work of team members  through the project lifecycle. Adding notes to tasks in Seavus Project Planner  is simple, but has high impact in delivering the desired results.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.seavusprojectplanner.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9628" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/viewGantt.PNG" alt="viewGantt" width="520" height="392" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Adequately present project information</strong></p>
<p>Project stakeholders want/need to be up to date with the project status at  every point of time. The project manager is obliged to present the project  progress information to the stakeholders. Hence, stakeholders need to understand  the project plan. Project managers can choose from different views, forms and  tables to display project information effectively. Additionally, they can use  the Copy option to copy data to MS® Office applications and use it for various  needs.</p>
<p>For ex: Project managers can copy cost data to include it in reports in MS®  Excel. Also, when presenting project status in board meetings project managers  can copy relevant data from the plan created in Seavus Project Planner to an MS®  PowerPoint presentation.</p>
<p><strong>Instantly access needed options and views</strong></p>
<p>Driven by the 1-click away concept, Seavus Project Planner is the only <a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/" target="_blank">desktop  project management solution</a> that offers Quick Bars which allow the project  managers to access options with 1 click. Quick Bars access your calendar, Gantt  chart, network diagram, resource sheet, task sheet and other frequently used  options using the function keys.</p>
<p><strong>Integrate Seavus Project Planner with other systems in your  organization</strong></p>
<p>If you are a developer and in need to extend Seavus Project Planner&#8217;s options  to better serve your project planning and tracking needs, you can make use of  Seavus Project Planner&#8217;s <strong>open API</strong> (Application Programming Interface).</p>
<p>The open API allows you to get the most of Seavus Project Planner while  integrating it with other systems in your organization.</p>
<p><strong>Integrate Seavus Project Planner in an MS® Project environment</strong></p>
<p>Project managers in organizations who use Seavus Project Planner can  collaborate and share project plans with project managers who use MS® Project.  This make is it possible to integrate Seavus Project Planner in an  existing project management environment where MS® Project is the main  tool used to plan projects. The goal of this integration is to reduce the  license costs for existing MS® Project users by providing a <a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/ms-project-integration" target="_blank">fully  compatible project planner for a far lower price</a>.</p>
<p>Introducing Seavus Project Planner in such organizations drastically reduce  project management costs, but also:</p>
<ul>
<li>Empowers collaboration among stakeholders using Google Apps</li>
<li>Lets organizations create an environment where project managers use Seavus  Project Planner and team members use Seavus Project Viewer, which additionally  cuts costs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Empower collaboration within teams</strong></p>
<p>Having a <a href="http://www.seavusproducts.com/products/seavus-project-planner/google-apps-integration">collaborative  project management environment</a> in your organization is the key for project  success.

		<description><![CDATA[Different workplaces have different ways to mark an employee’s attendance. Sometimes a physical register is kept in which each employ signs in and out. Other workplaces use a fingerprint scanner or a code-entering gadget to mark attendance. Another way is for each employee to sign in via an email which can only be opened from the office.

All these solutions are effective in marking attendance but are not effective in finding out where the employee is presently. In other words, if an employee is absent, the boss does not have a way to find the reason of absence.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Different workplaces have different ways to mark an employee’s attendance. Sometimes a physical register is kept in which each employ signs in and out. Other workplaces use a fingerprint scanner or a code-entering gadget to mark attendance. Another way is for each employee to sign in via an email which can only be opened from the office.</p>
<p>All these solutions are effective in marking attendance but are not effective in finding out where the employee is presently. In other words, if an employee is absent, the boss does not have a way to find the reason of absence.</p>
<p>To remedy this, a better sign in-out solution is provided by Tabzon.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9077" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tabzon0.jpg" alt="tabzon0" width="226" height="77" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.tabzon.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9080" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tabzon.jpg" alt="tabzon" width="500" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Tabzon is a free website that acts as an in-out board. It can work as a wonderful attendance tool for businesses. To take advantage of the site, the boss creates a Tabzon account. This requires entering the name of the company and no kind of personal details. Upon successful account creation we are provided with a URL for our company’s in-out board. We can then proceed to invite our employees to Tabzon either from within our account or by sharing the URL.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9081" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tabzon1.jpg" alt="tabzon1" width="500" height="282" /></p>
<p>When a user enters your Tabzon in-out board, each time he is about to be away from work, he updates his Tabzon status for other employees to see.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9082" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tabzon2.jpg" alt="tabzon2" width="500" height="282" /></p>
<p>Using Tabzon employees will be able to specify the reason they are currently unavailable. This is something that will be a great help to the bosses and administration.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9007" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/syncin.jpg" alt="syncin" width="473" height="116" /></p>
<p>Sync.in provides its users with a canvas to write whatever text they desire. This text, as I mentioned earlier, can viewed and modified by other group members.</p>
<p>For the free plan, click on the green button located on Sync.in’s homepage.</p>
<p>You will be redirected to the mentioned canvas where you can type whatever you want.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9008" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/syncin1.jpg" alt="syncin1" width="500" height="376" /></p>
<p>The text can be edited by using buttons located on top (bold, italic, underlined, and strike through). We can also choose to enter bullet points, indented text, and assign different colors to the edits made by each group member.</p>
<p>Group members can be added to view and edit our note by clicking on the green button in the top right. This button will open up a new window where we can invite contacts using their email address or our social media accounts.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9009" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/syncin2.jpg" alt="syncin2" width="500" height="324" /></p>
<p>In addition to all this, we can export our note to a file which can be saved on our computer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9010" src="http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/syncin3.jpg" alt="syncin3" width="158" height="209" /></p>
<p>Sync.in also has a desktop application which makes things a lot easier by saving time of the regular Sync.in user.</p>
<p>Give Sync.in a try and let me know what you think. Click here to visit <a href="http://sync.in/" target="_blank">Sync.in</a> homepage.
