Steelray Software Adds Schedule Analysis, Security to Microsoft Project

Two new Add-Ins for Microsoft Project have been released by Steelray Software. Steelray Project Analyzer is a schedule analysis and scorecard tool that plugs into the desktop versions of Microsoft Project. Steelray Project Protector is a low-cost security and access control solution for sharing Microsoft Project files.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 26, 2007 -- Steelray Software, maker of the leading Microsoft Project Viewer software, announces the release of two new Microsoft Project Add-In products. Steelray Project Analyzer is a schedule analysis and scorecard tool that plugs into the desktop versions of Microsoft Project. Steelray Project Protector is a low-cost security and access control solution for sharing Microsoft Project files.

The patent-pending technology at the core of Steelray Project Analyzer was developed at a leading Aerospace and Defense company and licensed to Steelray Software. Using statistical analysis, a team of project managers at the A&D company analyzed project schedules spanning several years to derive a set of common characteristics of the project schedules that were considered successful. Steelray Project Analyzer uses a built-in set of criteria to generate an easy-to-read scorecard and helps the project manager improve their schedule.

Steelray Project Protector was born from a need that Steelray's Microsoft Project viewer customers requested. "Our customers asked us for a way to share certain parts of project files, " said Brian Leach, Managing Director of Steelray Software. "With Steelray Project Protector, we're delivering an easy, low cost solution to that problem." With password-based protection, the project file is protected or exposed in its entirety (all or nothing). Steelray Project Protector is a big improvement because it offers filter-based protection, which allows the project manager to specify exactly which parts of the project file may be hidden or shared.
