OPM Creator featured on the Gantthead website...

Simple, Small Biz PPM...

Situation: You Need to Manage a Portfolio of Projects Within a Small Business.

OPM Creator is a very simple, clean web-based package aimed at smaller businesses who not only need to manage multiple projects, but could use a little help with knowledge management as well. I really like packages that give you an easy, structured way to capture emails related to projects. Many high-end packages don't really help in that regard and often even hamper the capture of the real "lessons learned" that resides in everyone's email.

Multiple file upload

You asked for it, we added it....

The new "multiple file upload" feature is now live in OPM Creator. The new feature allows your users to upload up to three files in one go, its simple but effective and will help to save time when users need to upload more than one file to a folder.

Experience OPM Creator at the NB2BC - e-Collaboration Uncovered event

OPM Creator will be demonstrating their online project management software solutions at the e-collaboration uncovered event on Tuesday 15th May (7:45 – 9:30am) at the University of Warwick, UK.

Discover the small business benefits of e-collaboration.

With the majority of businesses having email and a website, most companies are familiar with using the Internet to communicate.

But today more working methods are moving online with Internet technologies being used to manage meetings and work together from different locations.

That's why in this event we will uncover collaborative working practices and a range of e-collaboration technologies that your company can use to reap real business benefits, including increased productivity and cost savings.

This new briefing is for you if you want to:

* Improve productivity and reduce operating and overhead costs

* Work effectively with people who are not based in your office

* Exchange up-to-date files with colleagues, customers and suppliers

* Reduce time spent travelling to and attending/minuting meetings

* Run your business more efficiently using a virtual business model

* Decide which e-collaboration tools are suitable for your business.

After a short presentation you can get started straight away in our Advice Centre where you will see some of the technologies discussed including OPM Creator. You can find out where to access the tools and technologies, some of which you can take advantage of on a free trial basis. Plus expert e-business consultants will be available to answer questions and aid your decision-making.

Breakfast and refreshments will be included.

This event is available to small businesses based in the West Midlands.

New image on the way!

Here is a sneak preview of the new OPM Creator logo!

We are currently hard at work creating a band new image and website...

keep checking back for further news!

File upload progress bar

We have now added a progress bar to the file upload facility within projects, the progress bar shows the user that the file is being uploaded, this is especially useful for large files that can take some time to upload to the system, depending on you connection speed to the internet. We are currently working on a multiple file upload facility.... watch this space.

Activate/Deactivate Users!

You can now activate and deactivate users as you require, this way you can have an unlimited amount of users registered to your system but only the amount of users you are licensed for active at any one time.

This is ideal if you have many clients, partners or employees that need access on a project by project basis, simply activate their details for their project and deactivate their details when the project is complete freeing up the user space for another user.

Simply purchase the number of users you need active at any one time, you can upgrade your users online at any time.

New task tab

A new "Tasks" tab has now been added to the project page in OPMcreator.

This new tab will show you tasks for all projects you are authorised to view, the filter options on this page also allow you to view tasks on a project by project and/or user basis, you can also view overdue tasks as required.

File upload email feature

When you now upload a new file to a project in OPMcreator you are given the option to alter the "standard" text in the notification email before you send it. This is useful if you need to describe a file that you have uploaded to your project users.

You can change the "standard" text for the email in the "Adminstration/Modify" area of your OPMcreator system.

If you don't select to send the email to all users or select users from the list, no email notification is sent.
