The problem: Today’s project management tools

• Information overload - no role specific view of project - everyone sees everything

• Feature clutter - 80% of users use 20% of features, the rest are a navigation hindrance

• Centralized operation - time-consuming, tedious, error-prone - by the time a (typically weekly) update cycle is finished, the information may be out of date.

• Ad-hoc communication of project related information - eMail or FTP project files, schedules, diagrams, specs.

The net result is reduced overall confidence in the accuracy of status reports and the utility of the tool.

The solution: Intellisys' distributed, role-based access to central project repository

The Intellisys model places an intuitive point-and-click interface on the desk of all project stakeholders. These interfaces concurrently accessa central repository of projects. Within this model, several key ideas interact to make a powerful tool.

• Role-based access - see only the information you need.

• Lightweight design - simple, yet possessing all the key features

• Distribution of tasks - each person directly updates information pertaining to their projects - and the combined effects of all the updates are immediately visible throughout the system
