We are persuaded that project management plays a critical
role in today's business environment. Successful achievement of business goals requires good management
to
identify and correct problems before they impact a budget or schedule. It is especially important in
offshore software development projects because in this case the members of the development team are located
far from the client’s site and therefore good communication between parties becomes a key issue for
successful project management.

Important that although INTELLIGENCE-SOFT Project Management System has a large set of features and a
manifold of functions, it is still very easy to use. No special training is necessary to start using the
system, new users need only a few minutes to learn it. It means that working with the system user may be
concentrated on what he wants to do rather than on how to do it.
Architecture
Project Management System is a database-driven web-application. The heart of
the system is the database storing all system data – projects, tasks, reports, forums, etc. Users
access Project Management System via Internet using web-interface. Project Management System
implementation as a web-application provides following advantages:
user does not need to install any software to his computer, all that he needs is a web
browser, therefore user can access application from any computer connected with Internet,
all users share the same application data and executable code concentrated in one place - on
the server, therefore users always deal with actual data and the latest version of the software,
database and application code are hosted on high-stability server protected from viruses and
intrusions. Daily backups guarantee the safety of data when high performance of the server and
wideband Internet connection ensure excellent efficiency.
