“Release 7.0 is a real achievement for Projectmates,” says Hemant Bhave, Systemates vice president. “The software has come a long way in terms of flexibility and customization since our first version.” Specific improvements in the release include new options in the construction management, action list, and project Inbox modules of the software. New features include sub-contractor RFIs, multiple inboxes per project with customizable email address, Email/Fax audit logs, and the ability to display action lists by user. (See the list of new features below.)

As with many Projectmates improvements over the years, several of the enhancements in 7.0 originated with customer suggestions. “We listen to the people who are using our technology every day,” Bhave says. “When they propose a new or better way to do things, we strive to incorporate those suggestions into the product.”

Projectmates, winner of the Constructech Vision Award and Construction Executive’s Best of 2003 Editor’s Choice Award, provides online project management software that enables electronic document distribution, team collaboration and project scheduling.
