Project management software for teams
ASP.NET programming of a web-based project management software for teams and departments
A service company commissioned eWorks to develop a software product for the optimization of project management tasks. eWorks supported the company from the initial idea for the software, through prototype development and full implementation, to its current operation. Over the course of the software lifecycle, eWorks implemented various enhancements and provided support services.
The software product developed was programmed as a web-based solution so that it could be used across platforms and by several users at the same time without having to be installed on workstations. In addition, the training required by users was to be kept to a minimum and the software was to be self-explanatory. For international access, the user interface (GUI) can be switched between German and English (internationalization). Other languages can be easily integrated.
Convenient input masks are available for recording project components such as tasks and milestones. Various reports in tabular form and with PDF download are available for evaluation, for example for early detection of project delays. The Gantt reports typical for project planning are integrated in a web-based form. Access to the managed project data is controlled by a comprehensive and granularly adjustable user administration and rights management system.
The technologies used were C# as the programming language with ASP.NET, the .NET framework and Microsoft SQL Server as the database. Furthermore, various components were used, for example for native Excel export and Excel import and for PDF generation.
