Team and Corporate PRINCE2™ Software overview

Simple to deploy and use, providing shared access to your PRINCE2™ project documentation and can be used by  non-PRINCE2™ users just as easily.

PRINCE2™ is now pretty much the defacto choice for organisations seeking to standardise their project management process, what ever the organisation size, background or industry sector.

PROJECT in a box provides the perfect support environment for PRINCE2 providing an easy and intuitive interface for all your project team whether they are PRINCE2 trained or not.  In essence PROJECT in a box acts as a workflow engine guiding the users through the project management process and indicating which documents need to be worked on at each point under permissions model control.   Uniquely PROJECT in a box then allows users to view or work on these documents using the tools they are already familiar with allowing any type of file to be managed.  Through this approach PROJECT in a box provides customers with three major benefits:

Authentic PRINCE2 processes - PROJECT in a box provides standard PRINCE2 project types for customers to use as the basis for their small, medium and large projects.  This includes authentic material provided under licence from OGC direct from the PRINCE2 manual to ensure familiarity with your PRINCE2 trained team members.  These standard project types can be tailored by the project manager on each project to reflect the particular needs of that particular project.  This flexibility of application is essential in deriving value from PRINCE2 which can otherwise be over bearing when applied to less complex projects.

Ease of adoption by end users - Resistance to change can be a big issue in implementing new management system software.  So a tool which helps users minimise the repeated elements of PRINCE2 and spend most of the time working with tools like Office, Project or Visio that they already know how to use is much appreciated by our users. Familiarity with the materials and file types used and the ability to customise the standard project to include your orgnisations terminology and practices eases adoption further.

Minimised cost of implementation - Our licences are modestly priced being typically in the range of between £180 and £120 per user for perpetual licences.  The ease of adoption and customisation tools we provide  to give you ownership of your system means that many of our clients find they can implement without too much training or consultancy support.

PROJECT in a box caters for all sizes and configurations of organisations from individual lone project managers wanting their own Personal PSO through to teams and entire organisations distributed worldwide.

PROJECT in a box can also operate over local networks, extranets and the internet putting you in control of who you share your project information with.  Core PROJECT in a box configuration management, audit trail and PSO functionality is of course provided as well as a range of high value features depending on the client type chosen.

Packages

Supporting Project Migration 

Users upgrading from either Community Edition or Personal Version can purchase a mix of PROJECT in a box licences to take advantage of the additional benefits and transfer their existing projects with them.

For Personal Version users this is just by a simple licence upgrade (buy a Server licence and swap your licence key) and then other team and manager licence users will be able to connect to your server.

For Community Edition users you will need to buy a package of licences as show above and once you have created a server you can use the Data Tool utility we provide to migrate your PRINCE2 projects to your Professional edition so they can be shared with your colleagues.
