OREM, UT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 17, 2006 -- In the past, the value added reseller (VAR)
community has been somewhat limited when it comes to recommending project
and portfolio management (PPM) software to their customers. With PPM
software revenues expected to surpass $10 billion by 2010 (Gartner), VARs
are ready for an alternative to the current, cumbersome desktop project
management software on the market. In response to the market need, AtTask, Inc. today announced that its
on-demand project management software, @task v4 r2, is now available to the
reseller community through AtTask's new partner program. The program
features, among other benefits, zero program fees, free application
licenses for sales partners and industry-leading commissions.
AtTask's PPM software is available as software as a service or as a hosted
enterprise solution. @task runs on virtually any software platform, is
browser and database independent, and is scalable to meet the demands of
small boutiques to large enterprises. @task was also designed to
allow organizations to integrate literally any software application into
the project management process, including CRM, HR and financial
applications.
"After evaluating the marketplace, we recognized a large gap between the
project management needs of today's businesses and the software solutions
available to the VAR community," said Chad Perry, new vice president of
channel sales for AtTask, Inc. "VARs want choices, and they have been
somewhat limited in the past with what they can offer their customers. With
that in mind, we are excited to now work with the reseller community to
offer our powerful, flexible and scalable solution that meets the PPM needs
of a variety of companies and industries. Whether a company is running
Linux, OS X or Windows, needs 5 or 5,000 licenses, or wants a hosted
application or on-demand service, @task is the answer."
While many PPM applications can be difficult to implement and use, @task is
possibly the highest adopted software in the project management industry.
The adoption rate is attributed to the user friendliness of the software,
as well as the flexibility of @task in
allowing companies to easily customize the software to fit their business
needs without losing any functionality. A recent product review in eWeek
magazine said, "AtTask 4.02 does a good job of making project management
approachable by offering a simplified user interface -- in fact, the
application feels much more like a personal productivity application than a
project management application."
"AtTask is looking for key strategic resellers around the world that have
the vision to become regional project management experts," added Perry. "We
are promising the necessary tools and resources to help them increase their
bottom lines by offering them a proven, functional product that can truly
benefit their customers. We know that the demand for project management
applications is on the rise, so we're investing significant time and
resources into outfitting the reseller community with an alternative
solution to help them capture a piece of the market. We see the reseller
community as a key sales channel for us, and have developed a partner
program that will rival any in the industry."
