Situation: You Need To Roll Out A Solid Enterprise PPM Solution Quickly...

A  focus on your customer's needs is unbeleivably important.  That's true now, more than ever when rapid changes in functionality can change the very nature of an application within a year.

I recently spoke with Tim Low of eProject, who gave me an update on the software and their basic approach to development.  There were a lot of interesting parts to the conversation, but what impressed me the most was his (last) response to the question, 

"What are the top three things that set eProject apart as a Project and Program Management Tool?"


Here are his responses:

Price
The cost per seat is low and not everyone has to be a licensed user.  PMExpress is only $25/mo per user and PPM6 is only $45/mo per user.

Speed of Implementation
Typically runs about 2-5 weeks, which is pretty impressive for an enterprise roll out of anything.  Of course, this is partly a function of being a SaaS, but does that matter if it gets the job done?

WE EARN OUR CUSTOMERS' BUSINESS EVERY MONTH
This is the kicker for me.  Granted, once you're using this stuff enterprise-wide its hard to switch, but many software vendors have fees structured that keep you tied in for a fixed period.  From what Tim tells me this keeps eProject very much tuned in to every customer's needs.  From the looks of the website, support is an important component of what they do.  To me that's a very good sign.
