ManagePro 9.5 Release -- Cost-Effective, Integrated Business Intelligence, Project and Task Management



ManagePro 9.5 releases cost effective, integrated Business Intelligence features, while bridging the Microsoft Project

-- Outlook Gap as a strategic project and task management solution

SMITH RIVER, Calif., July 30, 2009 -- The ManagePro 9.5 release targets savings and simplification with the ability to collaborate and coordinate with others in a simple matter that keeps what's important in focus. ManagePro 9.5 bridges multiple functions used daily in a business-driven design, stretching from strategic planning to day-to-day task and document management. In the process, it pulls data from outside applications to support a single source for managing tasks, projects and strategy.

The "work smarter" ManagePro 9.5 ushers in a slate of business-friendly features to solidify ManagePro's All-in-One management capability. Features include enabling BI users to pull data from any MS Excel or Project file or ODBC compliant database to populate Balance Scorecards, KPIs and on-going departmental project plans; extended drag and drop integration with MS Outlook; and improved time tracking/estimating to ease the burden of project and task management.

"ManagePro provides a critical bridge between strategy crafting and execution. Its project management and performance scorecard capabilities ensure clear alignment of an organization's people and resources. For the first time our clients have a tool that delivers immediate bottom line results." Ian Paterson, CEO SMC.group, Strategy & Strategic Change Consultants, South Africa.

ManagePro 9.5's new BI features provide a wizard-based synchronization process to guide the user through setting up links to data in other applications, such as pointing at a MS Excel file and specified cell. It's not complicated and doesn't require an IT department to setup. Instead of providing a mash-up integration, like many applications, ManagePro actually pulls the data in from other locations to be accessible for history drill-downs, scorecard and dashboard population, even timeline chart tracking.

Integration with email is another source of savings, especially the ability to drag email from MS Outlook into ManagePro's display of strategic and project plans as progress updates and to-dos.

When it comes to estimating and tracking time, ManagePro and MProLite make it easy to enter time, report and run analytics on where the time is being spent, and easy to track the percentage of project each manager is finishing on time and on budget.

"The Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications & E-Commerce of the Government of Bermuda is required to deliver on many complex objectives and we use ManagePro to support the coordination and accountability of the efforts required to achieve those objectives." William G. Francis, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications and E-Commerce, Bermuda.

Whether working on a strategic plan, managing projects or tracking tasks, ManagePro 9.5 and MProLite provide an integrated solution. Review what's new at www.managepro.com/pdfs/WhatsNewinMPro95.pdf, demo at http://www.managepro.com/demos.htm
