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.
