We are getting important requests from customers that now would like our new Project Management Application to deliver ever more powerful functionality so that it becomes a serious product in it’s own right – and no longer a functional add on for our clients whose primary need is intranets and collaboration frameworks.
This is an interesting challenge for Claromentis – what percentage of our R&D should be devoted to project management software? Increased investment, combined with feedback from our existing client base, will generate a product appropriate to large scale deployments where the primary need is web based project management for complex programmes – as opposed to fit-for-purpose functionality targeted at existing intranet/extranet/document management customers.
Our current thoughts are to embrace this challenge and to aggressively build on our current release to provide a best in class programme management collaboration portal.
Feedback welcome! Is this a direction that we should pursue? Or should we focus back on enhancements to our core collaboration applications?
