Tenrox PSA Solution Provides Back-Office Business Value Through Microsoft Project Integration One enterprise database using one web interface to manage projects, resources and processes offers unparalleled convenience and efficiency. Tenrox announces the release of its most recent PSA solution, which builds on top of the Microsoft Project Server platform to streamline back-office business processes and provide tangible benefits for users. Internal service departments, software teams, and consulting and professional services organizations can now leverage the power of the Tenrox PSA Solution using one common web interface and enterprise database to easily manage projects, portfolios, resources and financial data. This information can then be integrated into back-office accounting and ERP systems, eliminating any duplication of effort. "Through our Microsoft Project integrated solution, Tenrox is now bringing to market a powerful project management solution with award-winning enterprise functionality,” said Albert S. Bitton, Senior Director of Strategic Alliances & Partnerships at Tenrox. “Microsoft is committed to delivering industry-leading solutions along-side its partners, and Tenrox is committed to offering seamlessly integrated solutions that are built to leverage the Microsoft platform." Companies are looking for solutions that leverage their current IT investments and provide a competitive advantage with tangible benefits. As a Premier Microsoft Project partner, Tenrox is committed to offering software solutions like the Tenrox PSA Solution that builds on top of their current Microsoft investment and provides the competitive advantage that companies are striving for today. "Using the Microsoft Project Server platform, Tenrox is providing customers with a comprehensive PSA solution that provides demonstrable business value," explained Chris Capossela, General Manager, Microsoft Project. “The Tenrox Professiona Services Automation Solution is an excellent example of Microsoft Project's value in today's business environment.” The Tenrox PSA solution builds on top of the web functionality of Microsoft Project Server, combining the scheduling, resource and portfolio management capabilities of Microsoft Project with Tenrox's PSA ability to schedule and track billable or chargeable project and non-project time, expenses and charges. Users can also track workflow-based issues using the Tenrox and Microsoft Project platform. As a result, the Tenrox PSA Solution provides business benefits and a rapid return on investment recognized by industry experts. "The speed and comprehensiveness of this integration demonstrates why Tenrox is rapidly moving up the leadership board in the services automation market,” stated R. David Hofferberth, Research Director of the Aberdeen Group. "Microsoft Project is the industry standard for project management solutions in the services automation market, and Tenrox figured out faster than most that more and more users will be demanding this integration going forward." “Microsoft Project 2002 has been positioned as a Project Management platform for PSA vendors, considering Microsoft's already large installed base. The market is clearly beginning to see signs of some PSA vendors like Tenrox opting to embed Microsoft Project into their applications as opposed to offering more traditional bi-directional integration. Any PSA solution that truly embeds Microsoft Project will likely lead to greater ease of use for the end user which can translate into greater productivity.” About Microsoft Founded in 1975, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is the worldwide leader in software, services and Internet technologies for personal and business computing.
