Eclipse Project / Issues Management System
Product Highlights and Benefits
Specific Highlight Details
- Unlimited Projects and Issues
For project/issues management systems to be effective, they must not restrict
the amount or availability of information on a project. Unlike similar products
on the market today, costs for using EPIMS are not based on the number of Projects
or Issues stored in the system. This approach encourages information sharing
without the worry of incurring additional costs. View the
pricing structure.
- Works Great as an Internal Tool, an
Extranet Application, or BOTH
Once you sign-up to use EPIMS, you have the ability to control who has access to
the tool. Beyond that, you decide who has access to specified projects. This
means that you could use EPIMS to manage internal projects AND as an Extranet
Application that allows your partnering companies to access projects that you
specify. Users can only see the projects that they have been given rights
to. Team members could be in multiple locations throughout a city, across
the country, or even internationally as long as they have Internet
access.
- Powerful Reporting Tools
The Reporting Tools available in EPIMS offer you multiple ways to effectively
manage and maintain the issues in your projects. Moreover, unlike many similar
types of software, EPIMS allows you to run reports against
multiple projects from one interface.
Imagine being able to see every overdue issue for every project with which you
are associated by clicking one link. In EPIMS, reports can be classified into 2
categories: Standard Reports and
Custom Reports. For more on each of these categories,
click the corresponding link.
- Web-Based and Hosted Or Source Code Option
When you choose our web-based and hosted solution, there is no hardware
or software installation, and no IT staff required to maintain the
product.
We also offer EPIMS through our Source Code Option. When you choose this option,
you can load the EPIMS software on your own servers. This option is very useful
if you have want to keep EPIMS on your company's Intranet.
- Project Level Access Rights
For every project created, EPIMS allows project leaders the ability to
assign each user’s authorized access level. For example, User 1 may need access
to enter and update issues in Project A, only need to be able to view issues
from Project B, and does not need any access at all to Project C. EPIMS gives
project leaders this flexibility and control.
- Document Management at Both the Project
and Issue Level
EPIMS allows you to upload files that are crucial to either projects or issues.
These documents are then accessible to everyone who has rights to the project.
All uploaded files can easily be referenced by the team members, eliminating
the need to email these documents back and forth.
- At the Project Level, this feature is useful for uploading meeting
agendas and minutes, project plans, etc.
- At the Issue Level, this feature can be used for uploading screenshots,
images, flowcharts, etc. These files will be directly linked with that issue so
when it is viewed, any attached files are only a click away.
- Automatic E-Mail Notification
Option
Each project leader has the option of being notified via e-mail about issue
additions or updates.
- Use Existing Project Structures as
Templates for New Projects
This feature allows you to replicate the project structure of an existing
project to a new project with the click of a button, meaning less set-up
time when creating new projects.
- You Define the Priority Levels for
Issues
Every organization should be able to decide how to classify an issue’s priority
and the timeliness associated with its completion. With EPIMS, you can assign up to 10
different priority levels and customize them to reflect
your company’s terminology. With each priority level, you also define a
timeframe for expected completion. When issues are created in the system, each
issue must be assigned a priority. Based on that priority assignment, the EPIMS
system automatically calculates a target resolution date for the completion of
that issue.
- Custom Issue Categories for Each
Project
EPIMS gives you the ability to create your own set
of Issue Categories for each project you have stored in the system. These categories
will help you organize your issues more effectively.
- Progress Notes Feature
Many of the issues that businesses encounter are not easily resolved; they
require continuous attention, input and diligence from the project team. In
EPIMS, users can add notes to issues. This assists the project team with
keeping track of the issue resolution progress. Anyone who has been granted
rights to update issues for a
project has the ability to add a progress note. Each note that is added
automatically is stamped with the name of the person who added the note and the
date/time it was added.
- Easy E-Mailing to Project Team
Members Via Built-In Web-Mail Interface
In today’s business world, effective e-mail use can be essential to the success of
a project. Communication is key. EPIMS offers a simple way
to send an e-mail to the entire project team or just selected teams members
through the system's built-in web-mail interface.
- Add Your Company's Logo for
Free
We can add your company's logo to replace the standard EPIMS logo that
accompanies every page in the system. This service provides you with a
consistent company image, both internally and when the system is used
with external business partners. We offer this service at no
charge.
