Project.net Reports More Colleges and Universities Adopting Project and Portfolio Management Solutions. Check it out:
BEDFORD, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- The use of Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) applications is gaining momentum in the higher education marketplace, according to Project.net (http://www.project.net), the leading provider of commercial and open source project and portfolio management applications.
The company today announced that Cornell University and Ithaca College have joined its growing roster of more than 50,000 users in Global 2000 companies. Building on this growing trend among educational institutions, Project.net is developing a customized version of its PPM application designed specifically for colleges and universities.
Universities use Project.net to consolidate project planning and management, workflow, and collaboration across departments, enabling cross-campus, distributed project teams to manage projects from inception to execution and completion. Project.net provides universities with a single, standard tool that can be customized to meet the needs of diverse functional groups, replacing proprietary project planning, CRM and organizational tools.
"Universities must constantly control costs, but also provide state-of-the-art technology and facilities to draw top students and drive enrollment, and PPM tools like Project.net are helping them achieve these results," said Peter Winston, Project.net's CEO. "PPM tools must also be flexible and easy to implement, and our proven open source solution can be easily integrated with existing IT systems. Individual departments can also customize the application to suit their unique needs. Going forward, Project.net is taking an additional step, with 'PPM for higher education in a box' -- a customized version of our PPM application for colleges and universities."
The Project.net application is scaleable, customizable Web-based software that facilitates cross-enterprise project management, collaboration and execution, enabling organizations to reduce costs and realize time savings by improving project execution across the enterprise. Project.net addresses the needs of a broad range of organizations, from those requiring commercial quality support and services to users seeking free and open access to an enterprise-proven project and portfolio management solution.
Recently launched in an open source version, Project.net is the first open source effort of its kind based on a commercial PPM product. Project.net was named a finalist in the LinuxWorld 2006 Product Excellence Awards and selected by the Open Source Business Conference, LLC, as one of three emerging open source companies to watch.
