Tuesday, 16 October 2007 12:35

KaDonk Inc. announced today the release of a FREE version of the company's state-of-the-art Microsoft Project viewer -- LiveProject 2.0. While other project viewers can cost as much as $80 per seat, KaDonk now allows anyone to open and view -- at no charge -- Microsoft Project files with LiveProject 2.0, which contains a number of new features and significant improvements over the earlier 1.0 version.

For companies looking to maximize the return on investment on their Microsoft Project installations, LiveProject is an obvious choice, said Anders Heie, president and founder of KaDonk.

"By using LiveProject as a free project viewer, anyone in the organization can view Microsoft Project files," Heie said. "No investment is needed. Just download and run. Managers can now freely share project files, bringing everyone 'in-the-loop.' LiveProject provides instant accountability, visibility and sharing."

Among some of the new features LiveProject 2.0 now offers:

• A FREE stand-alone Microsoft Project viewer.
• Consolidated tab-based UI that provides centralized control.
• Gantt chart support, including zoom, layout and timescale control.
• Support for nearly all project columns, including custom columns.
• Resource views.
• Quick-column select to easily change views.
• Advanced filtering capabilities.
• Improved performance.
• Quick multi-selection of tasks for zooming and sending mails.
• Support for custom fields.
• Direct launching of attachments in Bugzilla viewers.
• Direct launching of LiveProject from Windows Explorer.
• ... and numerous other improvements.

LiveProject runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. In addition to offering a FREE version of LiveProject, KaDonk also offers the option to collaborate on a project with a LiveProject license. With a license, team members can edit tasks, add new tasks and see everyone else's changes. Managers receive these changes, and approve or reject them. Team members don't need to install Microsoft Project, which provides measurable cost savings in addition to increased accountability and visibility in planning.
