Press Release 

SEATTLE, WA — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 25, 2007 — eProject, the on-demand leader in collaborative project and portfolio management (PPM) software, today announced that its Dynamic Applications capabilities are being used by hundreds of customers to easily add new customized functionally to eProject’s PPM6, its award-winning collaborative project management platform. Since its initial introduction in summer 2006, more than 2,000 Dynamic Applications have been built by business managers looking to quickly integrate customized capabilities into their day-to-day routines.

With Dynamic Applications, eProject users can quickly create new applications and features that function within their overall collaborative project management environment, all without any additional development or technical know-how. eProject customers can also participate in its burgeoning online customer community, the eLounge, to share and exchange Dynamic Applications with other eProject customers, letting the entire eProject community work together to quickly enact best practices, add custom functionality and take full advantage of its PPM6 platform.

To date, more than 500 eProject customers have embraced the Dynamic Applications capability in dozens of business departments and practice areas. OhioHealth, a nationally recognized, not-for-profit healthcare organization, uses eProject’s PPM6 to manage construction, revenue cycles and all IT projects throughout its network of 15 hospitals, 20 health and surgery centers, and home-health providers. The company has created several Dynamic Applications to add tailored capabilities and quickly meet specific project management needs.

"The ability to create powerful Dynamic Applications within eProject, customized to fit our specific business needs, has streamlined projects and saved us countless valuable hours," commented Derrin Ritchie, associate project manager with OhioHealth. "Recently, I built a Dynamic Application that replaced an existing, monstrous Excel spreadsheet that had more than 20 tabs of financial data requiring constant updates. Within a very short time, this customized application allowed us to efficiently automate, analyze and view the data, as well as share it easily with executive management within a single online work environment that we use to manage multiple projects."

The important difference in eProject’s Dynamic Applications approach is that it is not designed for developers, and does not require coding. The simple, wizard-based user interface makes it possible for regular business people who know their processes to create robust enterprise applications and provision them via eProject’s on-demand platform for the first time.

At Austin Hardware, an industrial hardware development and distribution company, eProject has been instrumental in increasing cross-functional communication in the new product development process, and ensuring that product requirements are addressed and monitored throughout the concept-to-customer cycle. The company has created a series of Dynamic Applications that are tied to the stages of a given project, from the initial sales lead to the final delivery of the hardware and customer sign off. The Dynamic Applications are configured to serve as an aggregator of project requirements and information, increasing accountability and providing greater insight into the potential profitability of a project from the start.

"Delivering software via the Web only begins to reach its true potential when customers can interact with Web applications in very flexible ways based on their particular needs," said Chris Lynch, vice president of engineering at eProject. "Customers do this now with iGoogle for their personal productivity, while we enable this for them within their business applications for their work productivity. Our Dynamic Applications capability lets our customers become an intimate part of our platform, and enables individual users to expand the product to suit very specific needs with little to no IT expertise. Traditional project management tools using the enterprise software model are not capable of providing the flexibility that today’s business customer desperately wants. Our Dynamic Applications exemplify how a Web 2.0 solution like ours gives the power back to the business user; they can make the product work within their individual needs as easily as someone starting a new blog or wiki. This is the future of software, and our customers are embracing this capability much faster than we had anticipated."
