What is PLlite?

Built on Ruby on Rails technology, PLlite is an agile business solution for anyone needing to share files and other critical information with their team in one easy to use, password protected on-line workplace. It is the antithesis of projects managed with and by email which are cumbersome and error prone. Instead, PLlite enables a single project manager to choose which team members can post content to message boards, calendars, discussion forums and task management charts. PLlite is a light weight yet robust tool for any project team to store documents and/or actively share information.

Why use PLlite?

PLlite is ideal for groups or firms requiring a single collaboration portal for information sharing and simple task tracking to monitor project progress. Want to try it out? Click here to set up a PLlite Portal
