Reviews of PROJECT in a box
PROJECT in a box has an established and active user community and the following is
just a selection of the positive feedback we have received over the last few years.
"One of the reasons it fits so well is that we have personalised it to create our own project templates" "Using PIAB makes us look more professional to our clients - creating visibility and transparency, so that rather than being limited to receiving project updates at weekly meetings. everything is now available for them online, and they can see the latest information whenever they want to" - Martin Talbot, Olympic Software NZ Ltd Now you can read the full case study as published in the December 2008 Issue of Project Manager Today.
"We have now been running with PROJECT in a box for a year and it is used by a core team on around twenty projects. However with the Outlook integration facilities we can easily share documents with team members such as external contractors who don't have access to the system. I would say this file based nature is one of the system's greatest advantages" - Richard Saywell, Toshiba Information Systems (UK) Now you can read the full case study as published in the December 2006 Issue of Project Manager Today.
PROJECT in a box was also the subject of an excellent review by Steve Cotterell in Project Manager Today magazine (Jan 2006 Edition).
