New Features and Integration With Microsoft Office System Bring More Visibility, Control and Participation to Enterprise Project Management
Microsoft Corp. today announced Microsoft® Office Project 2003, the latest release of its project management family of products. Available later this fall, the Microsoft Project 2003 product line is integrated with the Microsoft Office System business productivity tools and is designed to meet the needs of two specific customer usage scenarios: Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003 for stand-alone desktop application use, and the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution, which is made up of Project Professional, Project Web Access and Project Server. Coupled with the familiarity of the Microsoft Office System, the EPM solution makes it easier for executives to gain visibility into their portfolio of projects and employees to collaborate on the documents, issues and risks associated with their projects.
The Microsoft Office EPM Solution will help businesses increase efficiency, enable greater integration of project management into existing business processes, and broaden the use of project management tools. With tools such as the Project Center, business executives and project managers will be able to more easily track and communicate the status of their projects and resources across their organization, and use this data to make more-informed business decisions. Team members also will be able to contribute to projects using applications they currently use, including Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server (TM) 2003 with Microsoft Windows® SharePoint (TM) Services.

During first stage of V5 beta, we will be concentrating on two major issues:
WU Web Site beta testing - including gross and detailed site functionality, site UI, and site text
- WU content Beta testing - all content delivered through the WU site (with the exception of Security Updates, there is another channel for those) will have a specific beta release/test period. This includes driver update content.
- After the initial beta period, the WU V5beta program will continue to be involved in Beta update testing of software and driver content prior to their RTW ('going live') on the v5 site.
- Platform - current plans for V5 Beta are that all beta testers will require a platform of windows 2000 SP2 and later, for a testing platform.
- No one in either WU Beta or Office Beta groups have been enrolled in the V5 beta program, yet.
