New Jersey City University Selects Projectmates Construction Management Software for Major Projects

/in , /by

Richardson, TX (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

Systemates, Inc. is excited to announce a new partnership with New Jersey City University. With multiple major projects planned, New Jersey City University sought a construction project management software that would efficiently streamline their upcoming construction projects. After reviewing several vendors, NJCU deemed Projectmates to be the best fit.

New Jersey City University recently announced three major construction projects planned: a 103,000 sq. ft. West Campus Academic building, expansion and renovation of their current Science building, and a 415 bed residence hall. In addition, NJCU will also be undertaking several renovation projects designed to meet the needs of their academic programs in coordination with the school’s Facilities Master Plan. As a result of the variety and scope of the projects, NJCU decided to look into a construction management solution that fit the needs of education programs.

“Projectmates demonstrated that it was the best fit for our needs,” said Andrew Christ, Associate Vice President, and Deborah Morales, Associate Director of Facilities and Construction Management. “It is focused on construction project management; has a variety of templates that we can use, provides excellent ‘at your fingertips’ executive reports, is cloud based, and was within budget.”

NJCU’s main needs consisted of a tool that would provide consistent and streamlined processes of their cost tracking. Not only does Projectmates have the ability to streamline workflows, it also stores and manages all related construction data in one location. Because Projectmates is a web-based multi-platform solution, all team members, from project managers through Directors, can input information anywhere at any time.

Additionally, Projectmates’ extensive out-of-the-box reporting feature allows for a snapshot of individual projects as well as the construction program in its entirety. Executive management at NJCU will now have access to project information at a moment’s time, engaging team members and partners in a way that encourages collaboration and provides historical data for future planning needs.

About New Jersey City University

At New Jersey City University, goals and dreams are right at home. NJCU is large enough to provide world-class opportunities for learning. Yet, our classes are small enough to afford a highly-personalized experience that empowers students to realize their greatest aspirations.

It begins with academic excellence. NJCU’s fully-accredited colleges of arts and sciences, education and professional studies offer 41 undergraduate degree programs and 27 masters programs and 2 doctoral programs, including emerging and interdisciplinary fields. A student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and average class size of 24 translate to exceptional attention from a dedicated, innovative and involved faculty.

About Systemates, Inc.

Founded in 1995 by leading architects and software engineers, Systemates developed Projectmates to equip owners and owner’s representatives with a secure, sophisticated Web-based construction management software solution. Projectmates’ collaborative platform dramatically improves project execution and cuts costs and delays, increases accountability and reduces risks. With its cutting edge technology, Projectmates creates one seamless platform for managing the complete lifecycle of a building, from planning, bidding, and building to maintaining the facilities. Over 44,000 users from organizations such as Retailers, Real Estate developers, Educational and Government agencies rely on Projectmates to manage billions of dollars in capital construction programs. Systemates is privately held and headquartered in Dallas.

Business Planning Software With RS Gold

/in , /by

The text is not always well-written, “fill-in the blanks” tends not to produce very fluid copy, and the parts you write may be in a different style than the words surrounding it. Some experts suggest that the real usefulness of such packages lies in the examples, when they are in a business similar to yours.

Many entrepreneurs insist that their business concept is so clear in their heads that the written plan can be produced after start-up; this attitude “short-circuits” one of the major benefits of producing the plan. The discipline of writing a plan forces us to think through the steps we must take to get the business started, and, to “flesh out ideas, to look for weak spots and vulnerabilities,” according to business consultant Eric Siegel.

The greatest power saving may be quickly made by going to Windows Power Options usually found in the Control Panel. Set it to maximum energy saving. This is easy to do and will save numerous power. Just decreasing the brightness of the laptop display will save a lot of battery power. So using the laptop computer in a darkened room at minimal brightness is bound to save more power. Often users have many unnecessary, perhaps useless programs running in the background. These will waste power and slow down the laptop. It is typically difficult to identify and remove them so a cleaner program may be required for this.

Over a period of time your laptop battery will loose its efficiency, you will find that it requires charging more often. Like all rechargeable batteries, the more times it’s charged and discharged the less energy it will hold. There are a number of things that can be tried to lengthen the time before this happens. Attempt to charge then virtually fully discharge the battery by using the laptop till it has lower than 25% charge present. Don’t leave the battery charging longer than necessary. Don’t let the battery get hot.

As with all ink toner for printers the products offered by the companies that manufacture the printer is usually expensive. So much so that it can often force consumers to look into other options to refill their ink. To many who own printers and use them a lot, buying cartridges and throwing them away can seem like a senseless waste. It is this need for cheaper ink and reusable elements in ink cartridges that has brought about companies that offer refills, remanufactured ink toner and cartridges that are compatible with your current model of printer.

Do you want to have a different experience about the online game, you may try to buy Cheap RS Gold to play the tera game, i promise you can find how great the game is !

/in , /by


Palo Alto, California (PRWEB) December 02, 2013

Talygen, the world leader in Business Management Automation today showcased its Project Management Module. The company put the spotlight on its software’s collaborative features that make it easier for project managers, team members, and clients to connect with each other.

“While individual ideas and skills contribute a great deal to the success of any project, we believe that that communication and coordination play an even bigger role in project management,” mentioned Talygen Chief Program Manager Harold Saini. “That’s why we developed our software to make it as collaborative as we can.”

Some of the key collaboration features of the program include:

Real Time Client Communication features
The capability to add special notes on multiple project facets, and in every step of the project management process
Message boards to enable team members to weigh in and update each other
Easy reporting functions to create detailed reports on various components of the projects
File sharing capabilities to enable users to upload and share documents such as spreadsheets, PDF files, and more
Multi-user and multi-project support that enable companies to juggle various projects and teams from one convenient dashboard
Mobile apps that enable users to complete project tasks while they’re on the go

Open and Transparent Lines of Communication

Talygen’s Project Management Module sees to it that no manager, team member, or client is left in the dark. Thanks to the tool’s message board feature, everyone who is part of the project may view and post updates, questions, or concerns. Users can also attach files to their threads or replies to further substantiate their posts.

Talygen also records communication between individuals so messages sent over the system are never lost or misplaced. Additionally, files or correspondence can also be exported as PDFs, spreadsheets or reports, allowing users to keep hard copies of documents.

Reports may also be generated easily, so users can review any project documentation or data to assess the progress of their projects and teams.

“We really covered the bases when it comes to communication. Team members can send messages and files for easy collaboration and we even have a notifications center to ensure that no one misses a single update,” said Saini.

Convenient Tools and Functionality

Talygen’s Project Management software is also one of the most convenient ones of its kind. Because it is a web-based application, all files and correspondence are stored in the cloud, thus ensuring that users can view updates and messages in real-time as long as they have an Internet connection.

Talygen has also released mobile applications for several major platforms, including iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone, so managers, team members, and clients can check for updates and perform their responsibilities even when they’re not in front of the computers.

Lexington and Fayette County Parking Authority Integrates Scheidt & Bachmann Software and ParkMe Application to Improve Parking Experience with Real-Time Space Count

/in , /by


Lexington, KY (PRWEB) February 12, 2014

The Lexington Parking Authority (LPA) for the City of Lexington, KY recently completed a full integration with parking solutions providers Scheidt & Bachmann, and parking information services provider ParkMe. The integration allows the LPA to offer real-time parking space count information to its visitors, which helps visitors find spaces more easily in LPA parking facilities. This is also an environmental improvement as emissions given off by vehicles circling downtown blocks looking for parking will be lowered.

The interface between S&B’s system installed at the LPA facilities and ParkMe allows live data to flow from the S&B system to the ParkMe application which is displayed on the web and in a mobile app so that customers can see in real-time the parking availability and eventually reserve or prebook parking spaces ahead of time.

“There is a general perception that there is not enough parking downtown and that it is a hassle to find available parking spaces,” says Gary A. Means, CAPP, the Executive Director of the Lexington Parking Authority. “This interface project eliminates the intimidation and helps make it easier for people to plan their trips ahead of time enabling them to view availability as well as pricing in each parking facility.”

The LPA currently uses Scheidt & Bachmann software and hardware to manage the parking access and revenue control systems for four parking facilities owned and managed by the LPA. The interface between the two firms for the LPA uses the Universal Interface module provided in Scheidt & Bachmann’s entervo V2R2 software package while utilizing ParkMe’s real-time availability software to reach its vast user-base. The integration was completed in January 2014 and is currently being tested live in Lexington specifically for purposes of space availability, reservations and prebooking.

In order to use the application, the customer simply logs into ParkMe’s mobile application or online through LPA’s website and views pricing rates and occupancy levels for all LPA parking in Lexington. Data regarding real-time space count for each LPA parking facility is communicated between Scheidt & Bachmann entervo software and ParkMe in a background systems information exchange.

“As Lexington grows and becomes denser with drivers, it’s exciting to see the city address its needs by adopting smart parking solutions,” says Sam Friedman, CEO of ParkMe. “There is a direct correlation between traffic congestion and parking, and ParkMe is eager to work with the LPA to help improve parking for their residents and visitors.

The LPA views the integration as taking parking for Lexington to new heights and pioneering an enhancement in parking technology. “The Parking Industry is shifting from us dictating prices, options and availability to now customers telling us what they want,” comments Means. “Technology is revolutionizing the definition of better parking experience by giving customers information and allowing them to make choices for themselves. It’s a win-win situation for all.”

The Lexington Parking Authority is looking into future plans to expand the space count integration for on-street parking.

/in , /by


Dover, NH (PRWEB) March 21, 2013

Morse Data Corporation, developers of InOrder Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, is exhibiting at Internet Retailer, one of the largest e-commerce conferences, June 4- 7, 2013, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. The company will demonstrate its significantly enhanced real-time Web shopping cart for Internet retailers and multi-channel merchants.

The new version of InOrder includes major upgrades to the shopping cart, including a Cross-sell / Related Items capability that allows users to attach multiple “suggested items” to specific SKUs, a Ratings and Review capability that’s tightly integrated to the back-end ERP customer service and marketing modules, and Multiple Item Personalization, which gives InOrder users’ customers the ability to customize personalization of items – either individually, by group or by individual items in a group.

“We’re very excited about exhibiting at IRCE and about the upgrades to InOrder, especially since the new software version offers an instance of Big Data ‘crowd sourcing’ through the integrated Ratings and Reviews enhancement,” says Tony Marchese, VP of Morse Data. “More and more mid-sized and large Internet-based companies are realizing that InOrder has been developed specifically to manage their inventory and sales in real time – a capability that many of the ‘Big ERP’ software suites lack.

We encourage IRCE attendees to call or email us and schedule a demo at the InOrder booth #628 during the show or through our Website if they can’t attend.”

In addition to giving demonstrations of its ERP software, Morse Data will be handing out the latest version of its rubber ducks, which have become collectors’ items.

Palo Alto Software Announces EntrepreWorld, a LivePlan Virtual Role-Playing Environment

/in , /by


Eugene, OR (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

Palo Alto Software is excited to announce the upcoming launch of the first interactive, virtual world populated wholly by entrepreneurs. EntrepreWorld, a LivePlan virtual role-playing environment, will allow LivePlan subscribers to put their business plans to the test in a virtual world of avatars, small and mid-size businesses, and community socialization spots.

Users are tasked with pitching to virtual investors within the world. Once funded with EntrepreBucks, they are then able to build their virtual business in line with their business plan. Other users may then patronize the small business in order to test its viability, purchasing virtual bagels from virtual bakeries, getting virtual tattoos, and having their virtual taxes done by virtual accounting firms. Users earn merit badges to display on the walls of their virtual establishments. For example, the “My First Dollar” merit badge is among the first earned and displayed.

“It’s all very scientific,” explains Palo Alto Software COO, Noah Parsons. “We’ve married the best parts of gaming and technology to create a virtual environment in which entrepreneurs can test-drive their business plan ideas and crowd-source feedback from among their peers. The ability to create custom avatars in their own likeness or pick from a library of pre-constructed avatars including Classic Businessman, Classic Businesswoman, Boy Hipster, Girl Hipster, Androgynous Hipster, and Angry Viking adds an element of whimsy, as do the merit badges.”

Palo Alto Software’s business development lead, Peter Thorsson, finds the virtual world a little too mundane. “I tried to convince them that users should be able to steal each other’s vehicles like in Grand Theft Auto or create virtual crime empires, but no one would listen to me,” he said. “I also feel that the ‘Angry Viking’ avatar presents an insensitive stereotype of my people,” he continued, “which is why I opted for the ‘Androgynous Hipster’ persona, but customized it with a vintage Lacoste sweater.”

Sabrina Parsons, Palo Alto Software’s CEO, weighed in on the launch of the virtual environment, “LivePlan has always been global but this takes our business planning and tracking tool into a whole new realm — like Tron, but with better graphics and significantly more vikings. We’re helping businesses impact the EntrepreWorld virtual economy; they can then take what they learn in virtual space and apply it to the real world. It’s unprecedented.”

About Palo Alto Software, Inc.

Palo Alto Software, Inc., makers of the #1 selling business planning software in the world, develops and publishes tools, products, and content to help small and midsized businesses plan, pitch, manage, and grow their ventures.

Software Project Management Plan

/in , /by

It is hard to think of the successful completion of a business software project without the support of a Software Project Management Plan (SPMP). Such projects require adequate planning, monitoring and controlling to meet the objectives of a high-end enterprise solution. At the same time, one must take into account the total time required and manage the resources in an efficient manner to deliver the project well within the stipulated time. It was found that the most problematic areas in meeting the exact user requirements were the difficulties in articulating the needs of the clients and the incorrect estimation of the needed resources. These two and several other concerns spearheaded the development of a robust SPMP, which is still in evolutionary stage.

A software development process is concerned more with its production aspect than its technical aspect. This is why such processes look similar to general project management processes, such as risk management, change management, release management, and requirements management. The focus of the concern with all these management processes remains the proper identification of the scope, estimation of the work involved, and the creation of a work schedule. A software project development plan cannot serve a meaningful purpose of its existence unless it is not optimized for project planning, monitoring and control. The exact estimation of requirements must precede the development of a project plan to deliver the successful completion of the tasks involved.

With the project monitoring and control, the software project development plan enables the team members to work in an integrated environment where they can easily contribute to the progress of the project and be aware of its overall progress in real time.

It helps the project manager keep a focus on the planned development process with valuable inputs from its team members. If a change in plan is required at any stage of the process, the manager finds it easy to implement the same and keep abreast with the changing requirements.

Project Software

Project Management Software, or simply Project Software, is a tool that is designed to help when you are to deal with a large and complex project. Such a large project usually requires you to keep an eye on a range of details – project estimation, planning, scheduling, resource allocation, cost control, budget management, and an effective communication with team members. The project software really helps in meeting the varied requirements of a large project and provides assistance in completing the tasks involved. These tools exist under a variety of design approaches. Chief among them are Desktop, Web-based, Personal, Single User, Collaborative, Integrated, and Non-Specialized tools.

The reason why we find such a large number of project management software is simple. No specific software is suited for all project requirements. This means the moment you start working on a different project, you may need to switch to a different project management tool. Though there are some exceptions, you may find this lack of versatility in most web based tools that are available under open source license and come to you absolutely free. It is a better idea to invest in some quality project software products to have something of value that you can trust no matter what your need is.
