Ian continued: “We have found many organizations with in-house IT departments prefer to write their own tools for collaboration. By releasing our code for them to use, we help them get started. We have spent a lot of effort on keeping the code easy to understand and making the user interface and installation as easy to use as possible. However, we are able to offer specific consulting and customisation services to guide and support their efforts if required.”

It is expected that ProjectLounge Lite will fulfil most people’s needs for file delivery and task management. However, should organisations need greater storage capacity or functionality, an easy upgrade route to the ProjectLounge Premium and Enterprise versions is available. The full ProjectLounge service is based on IBM QuickPlace software and is available for as little as £6 per month per user, with full 24/7 support in the UK, North America and Australia.

ProjectLounge has proved popular in marketing and human resources as well as sales, legal and accounting teams across a range of business sectors, with customers like: Dunlop Sport, General Motors, Hyatt Classic, Panasonic, Schlumberger and Toyota. ProjectLounge Lite supports the needs of any individual or organisation needing to share large files securely.
