New Project Server Web Parts
Your My Tasks Page Rocks
With Web Parts from MSProjectExperts
New York, NY – 5/27/09 - “Imagine your My Tasks Page in Project Web Access
with summary tasks, a navigation tool that allows you to page by project and
controls for the grid display. Picture a dashboard that displays your time entry
totals by day, week and project as you type. This is music to the ears of a
regular Project Server user,” said Gary Chefetz, CEO of MSProjectExperts, in
announcing a new line of web parts and VSTO add-ins for Microsoft Office Project
2007 and Microsoft Office Project Server 2007. “Our web parts address the
usability enhancements that people most often ask for when we talk with them in
the Microsoft Communities.”
“At our annual company retreat last year,” Chefetz continues, “the team brainstormed our recession realignment
strategy for turning what we viewed as inevitable downtime into a new value
stream for the company. In examining the market conditions, we concluded that
the market would welcome easy to install shareware-priced add-ons that boost
user satisfaction and, in some cases, remove obstacles to adoption. Filling the
frustrating usability gaps in the application interface has always been on our
product radar, but the downturn in the economy finally gave us the impetus to
move forward with this program.”
The new software offerings constitute MSProjectExperts’ first entry into the software market. You can find the
software on the company’s newly redesigned shopping portal,
ProjectDaddy.com, along with the
company’s renowned books, courseware and open-enrollment training. The new
product line is also available through MSProjectExperts’ partners and
affiliates. “Our first release wave includes web parts containing the
most-asked-for enhancements to the Project Web Access interface with a distinct
focus on the My Tasks page. We have a similar series in development for the My
Timesheet page, and our near-future product pipeline includes timeless tools for
Microsoft Project, custom event handlers, reports, services and web parts that
you can plug into the Microsoft EPM Platform to quickly address popular user
demands and deliver added value with only a petty-cash investment,” commented
Chefetz.
