LiveProject 2.0 is out in the wild...

This week we finally release LiveProject 2.0. In that regard, we sent out a press release, and I got interviewed on BloggingStocks.

Release 2.0 was major for us, since we revamped large parts of our UI, fixed numerous bugs, and of course added major features such as the Gantt Chart. Now we'll go back to posting more frequent updates, every few weeks, with some cool features some of our customers have requested.

On the business side, we decided to offer up a free Microsoft project viewer version. The code is the same as the professional version, but users won't need an account, and they can use it as long as they wish. Our purpose is to get LiveProject on as many machines as possible. Once it's there, we hope that at least some customers will realize the great value we also offer with our collaboration features. Those collaboration features are what we sell of course, but a free project viewer is an amazing offer. Steelray and Seavus are our main competitors, and they each charge well for a project viewer.

It shall be exciting to see what the future brings, so far our downloads and response have been great.
