We’re bursting with excitement, and we just couldn’t wait to share the news with you all! Brace yourselves, because we’ve clinched one of Intelligent ICT’s prestigious Channel category awards. The Intelligent ICT Awards celebrate the best of the IT Industry in Africa and highlights the many diverse and innovative ICT implementation projects taking place within the various vertical and technology areas.

This highly anticipated feature will revolutionise the way you interact with your custom lists. No longer bound by the constraints of single-item selection, you will be able to effortlessly choose multiple items from a single custom list in one go.

We’re thrilled to announce our latest product feature which allows you to apply Color Styling to date fields to highlight whether an item is overdue or due within the next 7 days! This new feature brings visual clarity and efficiency to your project planning and tracking.

Digitising Project Outputs

While some Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tools automate some of the required project and portfolio status report, when we developed PPO we automated a number of the key project management documents that an organisation would mandate their project managers to complete.

Effortless Planning with Calculated Task Duration

Manual task duration is a thing of the past! We’ve implemented calculated task duration regardless of how you load your tasks into PPO. This enhancement helps streamline tasks within PPO which will hopefully lead to improved accuracy and most importantly save you valuable time.
