PROJECT CONNECT ONLINE FOR MICROSOFT PROJECT USERS

Visibility and Collaboration in the Cloud for Small Teams with No Startup Fees

Sunnyvale, CA – June 2, 2009 – Project Hosts, the leading provider of hosted Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solutions, announced the release of Project Connect Online to enable secure, instant web access for 2-25 Microsoft Project Professional users and their colleagues. A complete solution for small teams, and a bridge to more comprehensive solutions for companies and teams of any size, Project Connect Online is priced at $39 per user per month.

"The adoption and practice of Project Management has traditionally been a competitive differentiator for large organizations, but the new economic context has made it a key success factor for companies of all sizes," said Ludovic Hauduc, General Manager of the Microsoft Project Business Unit. "Project Hosts has responded with a Microsoft EPM offering that provides small and medium size businesses and teams the combination of Microsoft's leadership in the EPM space with the fast and affordable aspect of a cloud-based solution aimed at improving project visibility, productivity, and communication."

"We've leveraged our enterprise expertise with Microsoft EPM solutions to expand the reach of Project web collaboration to new markets with a very easy entry point", said Scott Chapman, CEO of Project Hosts, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner. "Our online framework unifies and centralizes project information and communication, which improves productivity and enhances overall project performance."

Built on Microsoft Project Server, Project Connect Online provides instant access to web collaboration in the cloud without startup fees or consulting services. There is no server software to procure, install or manage, and it can be enhanced at any time with additional EPM components.
