Project Management System is a database-driven web-application. The heart of the
system is SQL Server database that stores all system data - projects, tasks,
reports, forums, etc. Users access Project Management System via Internet using
web-interface. Project Management System implementation as a web-application
provides following advantages:
- user don\'t need to install any software on his computer, all he needs is a web
browser, therefore user can access application from any computer connected with
Internet,
- all users share the same application data and executable code concentrated in one
place - on the server, therefore users always deal with actual data and the latest
version of the software,
- database and application code are hosted on high-stability server protected from
viruses and intrusions. Daily backups guarantee the safety of data when high
performance of the server and wideband Internet connection ensure excellent
efficiency.

New version 1.2.55 includes a number of improvements targeted mainly to expedite
system installation and maintenance. The system is being delivered now with
installation program, which turns the setup of the software to target server into
the effortless and quick job. No more tricky administration of your server -
installation program automatically performs all administrative routines, copies
necessary files, creates MS SQL Server database, creates web application on IIS
server, populates database with initial data and fulfils all other tasks necessary
to install the system. Once the installation program completed the setup process,
you may start using the system immediately, without any additional manual operations
and even without the restart of your servers.

Since build 1.2.55 the system supports both MS Windows 2000 Server and MS Windows
2003 Server.

Automated installation and setup provides even those companies, which don\'t have
their own IT professionals, with the chance to purchase Project Management System,
install and start using it as easy as if they were installing a simple desktop
utility.
