Now also available in English: Flexible Project Planning with A-Plan 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 5, 2009 --

The customers of braintool software gmbh, Bönnigheim, near Stuttgart, still come mostly from German speaking countries. ”Actually many of our customers are working in distributed projects together with foreign companies or have a subsidiary company abroad” confirmed Annegret Herrmann, Director of braintool software gmbh. “These customers particularly appreciate the possibility for users to plan their projects collaboratively, sharing a central database. Hereby, with our international-oriented customers the number of users increases continuously, counting on an English version of A-Plan" added Herrmann.

In addition to the already heavily representative markets of Switzerland and Austria, now there are users of the Swabian Project Management Software in the USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East among others. As an inexpensive alternative to complex programs, like MS Project, A-Plan conquers new followers around the world for easy and comfortable project management.

World-wide, the central point for company’s business success is project planning and control, but unfortunately it is still frequently left out. Often office applications, like Excel, are misused as a planning tool. They can still work to start a project or to provide a first rough overview. But just once the project plan needs initial changes, self-solutions quickly comes to their limits. Amendments are no longer sustained and project participants’ benefits for a fast approaching zero. Who works on which work package? Where goes my critical path? Key information remains on the track and it lacks the necessary transparency. The consequences are projects that have times and costs out of control.

"Clarity, easy handling and also fulfilling of professional requirements simultaneously in plan and control of projects, are the conditions for a planning tool to reach the long term success." as the author of A-Plan and current software development manager Bernhard Reichl know. "80 percent of the wide functions that A-Plan 2009 offers today were implemented based on customer requirements. Thus, this is a very practical solution from project managers to project managers being developed during the last years." Reichl added.

A-Plan consciously avoids providing most part of automatisms in order to optimize the project scheduling. Of course during the project, problems and anomalies are reported to the person responsible – if the duration of the processes is eventually extended or the resources must be increased in number or in efficiency, the responsibility remains in planners. A-Plan supports him by a multiple auxiliary’s calculation functions.

Optimal and efficient information about ingenious print settings as well as Excel reports, with customized report presentations are facilitated to the most ambitious stakeholders.

Customers now have the possibility of A-Plan 2009 also in an English version. For those interested, there is a free full evaluation version available.
