Our customer driven development programme continues with a new software release that features three plans tailored to different customer needs.

The latest version of ProActive Software's project and time management application ProWorkflow (version 6.0) incorporates a new range of features, more flexibility and an enhanced user experience. The new release of ProWorkflow introduces three tiered plans with corresponding pricing, enabling customers to increase cost efficiency by selecting the plan that best meets their needs.

“It has been over a year since our last major version change,” says Julian Stone CEO ProActive Software Limited, “we have bundled a number of major new enhancements in the product and can now offer our customers a choice of options to better suit their needs.”

“We have put up three plans and we are convinced they will better fit individual customers than the old ‘one size fits all’ approach”, says Stone.

“Our development team surpassed our test customer expectations in this release,” says Stone. “Whilst version 5 was delivering great ROI to users, we saw our customer base falling into small, medium and corporate clients, all throwing up different needs and priorities. So we targeted a feature set and price at each customer group.”

“We are now rolling out product and pricing plans. All plans will be available as of June 2008.

Version 6 enhancements include a new onscreen alerting system, events, hierarchy, resource reports and AJAX interface modifications. As an industry first Version 6 also includes a powerful custom reporting engine.

Other key features include:
· Browser-based online access, for remote web-based management and project status
· Intuitive, modular organization with the Project Manager, Dependent Tasks, Task Manager, Time Tracker, Contact Manger, Timeline View, Notes Manger and Reports Manager
· Comprehensive administrative options, including extensive Administration sections and a Project, Task and Notes Search Tool
· Live onscreen visual alerts and notifications to keep team members informed

‘If you are looking for a project management tool it is worth checking out. Our account setup Wizard has been enhanced to make it easier to use and improved the user experience for those just getting started on a free trial account”, says Stone.

“After six years of working with real customers ProWorkflow is rising to the top of workflow management solutions,” says Stone, “Version 6 demonstrates our commitment to improving our customers’ experience and meeting their needs. Watch this space for more significant new developments toward the end of 2008.”
