As we enter a new era of providing skilled services and effective management, it's a common situation that you are forced to use some applications just because your partners or colleagues are using it and you need to collaborate with them. For example, if you are working on a project with a team that is using MS Project® and you need to collaborate on project plans. This necessitates additional, complex and costly software expenditure just because of a data format. Are you already using MindManager® for project planning? Now you have a chance to save and benefit in the same time. You no longer need to have MS Project® installed – you can use MindManager® without extra expenses and limitations. SolutionThe new add-in for MindManager® MS Project adapter enables users to work with MS Project® data in MindManager® after performing a single operation only. The only requirement is to save Project files in XML format and then colleguages from different departments and different software environments can easily exchange with it. MS Project adapter enables you to open MS Project® XML files and show tasks as MindManager® topics, including the task information and dependencies between tasks reflected as relationships. Moreover, it retrieves and stores information about resources, work required and resource costs, as well as calendars and individual resource schedules as separate topics with Excel-like spreadsheets in a readable format. This utility is fully compatible with Mind2Chart, so if you're a Mind2Chart user - you will be able to work with your project plan immediately once the document is opened and visualized with the Gantt view. BenefitsThis is very cost effective solution as one does not need to buy MS Project® to read files created with it. Use tools you like to boost performance of your work. Focus on tasks, not tools. Important: there is a limited offer - MS Project adapter v0.9 now contains MS Project® import functionality and costs only $29 per license. Version 1.0 with both Import and Export to MS Project® is coming soon and will cost $49. However, all customers who buy version 0.9 get a free upgrade to 1.0. Don't miss this great opportunity! |
