Powerful, Secure Collaborative Project Management Software
|
 |
Manhattan, NY - Interfathom has released TaskMerlin v. 4.0, a powerful project
management application for Windows that makes it easy for business teams to organize projects, notes,
tasks, and schedules, and share them with colleagues. TaskMerlin is simple enough for the sole proprietor
to use to track a to-do list, and powerful enough to support an international project team.
TaskMerlin runs on Windows desktops that are connected to the office LAN, and offers a significantly
lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than online project management solutions. In addition, TaskMerlin's
local office network model is easier to integrate with Microsoft Office, Outlook, and other desktop
software. TaskMerlin delivers faster performance and a richer feature set, while avoiding the data
security issues associated with storing sensitive information on the Internet.
Version 4.0 includes a comprehensive set of detailed project reports that make it simple for line
managers and project managers to monitor progress and identify bottlenecks. The grid-style report
presents a snapshot of the entire project, with a list of tasks, status, priorities, progress, assigned
workers, and due dates.
Unlike other task managers that lock you into a fixed format, TaskMerlin offers complete flexibility
for naming, structuring, and viewing tasks. This flexibility makes it ideal for project managers who
want to tailor the project tracking structure to the project at hand. It also makes it easy for
individuals to create a tracking and reporting structure that maximizes their work style and skills.
Followers of David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) workflow methodology can even tailor TaskMerlin
to conform to the GTD structure.
In addition to traditional project management information, TaskMerlin lets you track appointments,
reminders, notes, and schedules. All of the data is completely searchable. It is easy to select, sort,
and filter the 40+ columns of information that TaskMerlin displays.
TaskMerlin 4.0 runs under Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Server 2003/2008. The Personal Edition, for use
on a single PC, costs $49(US). Prices for the Professional Edition, with simultaneous multi-user
database access and individual passwords, email settings, popup reminders, filter definitions, and
display options, begin at $99(US) per PC, with quantity discounts available.

About Interfathom and TaskMerlin:
Since 2005, Interfathom has been developing and marketing project management and information
management software for organizations and individuals. Their flagship application, TaskMerlin, started
when the company's principal designers couldn't find a Windows application that delivered the rich
feature set and flexibility needed to track information and project status details for their growing
company. TaskMerlin is compact enough to use for the management of simple task lists, and scalable
from personal use to a multi-user line management or project management environment.
TaskMerlin continues to evolve and adapt to the diverse and changing needs of its customers, while
remaining quick and easy to use.
