Economic Pressures Contribute to 200% Growth of VCSonline SaaS Project Management Customers Ahead of VPMi Professional 4.0 Launch
VCSonline | 20 Aug 2008
VCSonline has reported a 200% growth this year in new customers of their online project management service, VPMi Professional. The popularity of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) project and team collaboration solution has been credited to associations looking to integrate customers, suppliers, and employees with without the overhead of travel, meetings, and support staff. To further accelerate the adoption of the service, VCSonline has announced the immediate availability of VPMi Professional 4.0, which now includes: Microsoft Project 2007 integration, supply & demand resource forecasting, digital dashboards, earned value, customer billing, and Project Gantt reporting. VPMi Professional 4.0 is available via the internet and is accessed with a browser for a low monthly fee per user. Companies can begin using the software immediately with no servers to setup, software to install, or databases to program.
"For 10 years the VPMi Professional has always been a simple, sensible, and supportable alternative to our high-priced and cumbersome competitors," said VCSonline co-founder Nick Matteucci. "With this latest upgrade we streamlined collaboration between management, departments, customers, and suppliers. With budgets tight and energy costs spiraling, people are looking for new ways to improve productivity with reduced administration, travel costs, and fewer resources. When they see the new array of collaboration tools and reports we have assembled in a simple to use service, the response is overwhelming, even before they see how far we undercut our competitors. They say ‘customers vote with their feet’ and in our case the growth numbers really speak for themselves."
"With the new VPMi Professional 4.0 there is a virtual home and role based toolbox for everyone,” notes VCSonline co-founder Jeff Pupillo. “Never before have we seen a project management package offer so much with so little investment of time and money. The new version really opens up project management to the masses that previously was only available to the richest companies and only usable by certified professionals."
”SaaS adoption is highest in applications that support simplified, common business processes or large, distributed virtual workforce teams,” said Sharon Mertz, research director at Gartner. “Ease of use, rapid deployment, limited upfront investment in capital and staffing, plus a reduction in software management responsibility all make SaaS a desirable alternative to many on-premises solutions, and they will continue to act as drivers of growth.”
