Afinion Smart Project Server
$600 - Afinion AG

Project database for MS Project with access rights and project groups. Easy user management. Ideal for departments and branch offices. Access control by Windows-login. Simple installation. Best for small groups and departments. Rights can be transferred over several servers. So protection is handled for all departments. Archive function and possibility to move projects inside the server from one project group to another. Projects may be opened with
read/write or read only permission using Microsoft Project Standard or Professional. Users which only need read permission can use Afinion Project-Viewer to view projects and print the Gantt charts on up to A0 size sheets. Afinion Smart Project Server can be used as a reliable archive as well. Every project can be set to archive status. These projects can then still be opened as read only. If required your administrators can reset their status to active at any time. Projects stored in the Afinion Smart Project Server database can only be deleted by an administrator, they therefore cannot be deleted accidentally. Access permissions are administered using a three level model: Project Groups, User Groups and Users. User Groups have read only, read/write or no access to Project Groups. Users can belong to several user groups whereas projects can belong to one Project Group only. All assignments can be modified later if needed. Using Afinion Smart Project Server Enterprise Edition you can even create project groups covering every department and site, so that users in different companies and countries can access your projects. Afinion Smart Project Server does not require a standard installation. All functions are readily available in the front end (Afinion Project-Viewer) supplied together with the Afinion Smart Project Server. You will, however, need to set up your SQL Server or MSDE accordingly. An Add-In to Microsoft Project allows you to directly open, edit and save projects stored in the SQL database.
