During the development of ProjectCompanion, we have looked at how project work actually is conducted. We have concluded that project support tools need to be simple if they are going to fit into the dynamic and fast-changing world of project-intensive organizations. We have simplified and simplified, and can now provide a core of functionality which is simple to use, but provides a powerful back-office functionality for invoicing and integration with accounting.

Information in the palm of your hand
One of the demands on project support systems is that they should support work where it is actually taking place. Action delegation is done during meetings. Time and expenses are reported on the go. ProjectCompanion supports mobile professionals with synchronization over the Internet.

 

The system provides support for the view of the user (what actions, milestones etc do I have in the projects I participate in), the view of the project (what actions should be taken by different persons in this project) and the organization (what projects are going on now, what is their status).

ProjectCompanion - time reporting and project support
The system provides organizations with an information infrastructure for carrying out multiple projects. Examples of functionality are: shared action management, time and expense reporting, project plans, status reports, shared documents folders, project diaries, contact information, project handbooks, invoice data export and support for several currencies.
