ProjectLounge Products
ProjectLounge manages the logistics of hosting online collaboration portals for their clients. The Quickplace portals have optional project management, document management and customer relationship functionality. Hosting services include security, hardware, software upgrades, bandwidth, backups, redundancy and other administration requirements. Clients don't need to hire additional IT staff or invest in IT infrastructure. Quickplace portal templates can be implemented to deliver functionality in stages. They have a customizable user interface so that basic understanding of the application and navigational skills are easily picked up by the user, meaning significant investments in formal training are usually not required.
