Augeo6 will soon be available !

The staff of Augeo Software is very proud to announce the release of the new major version, Augeo6 before the end of the year. As the current release Augeo5, the new version is a very powerful tool with a large set of functionalities, highly configurable to meet your company's needs.

During the last couple of weeks a beta version of Augeo6 has already been presented to a circle of customers in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and has been welcomed with great enthousiasm.

The major improvements of this new version are :

• Brand new modernized GUI

The new GUI has been simplified, modernized and standardized, it provides more information at first sight, is highly configurable and intuitive, which will shorten the learning process considerably. A more pleasant handling will ensure user acceptancy.

• Simplified User Interface by the management of User Contexts

Augeo has made an effort to organize information based on the user's profile, so that the user only sees options and menues that are interesting in the context that he/she is in. 6 default user contexts are provided when shipping, and more can be added by configuration.

• Java Rich client Architecture for easier deployment

The heavy client architecture for the Project planning and administration part has been abandoned, Augeo6 is now installed on the web server, simplyfying the deployment of the application and making sure that every user has the most recent version. Using Java Web Start Technology, after a simple click the temporary files are downloaded on the user's pc.

• Built-In Click-and-Go Reporting Tool (Qlikview)

After surveying our customers about the most popular standard reports of Augeo5, we have built a set of built-in Qlikview Reports that will probably meet most of your reporting needs. Users can now take a standard Qlikview report, and by simple clicking change the parameters (project, resource or timeline selection), filter their report by criteria, drill down, or consolidate. Once happy with their report setup, users can save their favorite set of reports as bookmarks and share them with their colleagues. With one click the report can be exported to Excel or printed.

• Improvement of our Portfolio Module

Within Qlickview we have added reports to do your capacity planning, portfolio analysis, and arbitrage based on your Budget and Resource capacities.

Augeo5 V5.4 Service Pack 1 is now available

Dear Augeo customer,

We are pleased to inform you that our first Service Pack for Augeo Version 5.4 has been published.
Our Augeo 5.4 product launch is going very well, with many new and existing customers moving on to the new product and planning upgrades over the coming weeks. Our new 5.4 customer sites will be able to take advantage of the enhancements in milestones and requirements as well as the improvements in forms.

This Service Pack Release contains many fixes and enhancements (112 fixes, 51 enhancements, which are linked to 106 customer requests).

In this release we have added a lot of platforms to the Supported Platforms list:
-Windows 2008 SP2 (32 bit) on the Augeo Client
-Microsoft SQL Server 2008
-Internet Explorer 8.0
-Firefox 3.5
-Tomcat 6.0

For our Customers: Check the complete Supported Platforms document on the Knowledge Center.

Migration of Augeo Central Reports
The Built-in Standard Augeo Central reports (e.g. financial reports) have been transferred to MyAugeo, which means that we are no longer limited by the components (dlls, etc.) installed on the Client PC. Just push the 'Open Report' Button in Augeo Central and a MyAugeo connection will be established and the report will be displayed within MyAugeo.

Enhancements in Forms
The enhancements in Forms that have been introduced in 5.4.0 have been extended and improved even more, opening the way for our consultants or our more advised functional administrators to develop very interesting Reports and MyAugeo Forms that fit your needs more than ever before.
We will be able to provide nested forms, combining Table views and Card views, new field types like periods and durations make it easier to display this kind of information without complicated transformations. Aggregate functions like sums or minimum or maximum values can be easily added to a report. Fields within one form can be dynamically linked and be in interaction (e.g. making the content of a list depend on the value selected in another field in the form). Action buttons allow the launch of a stored procedure from within a report.

For our customers: Please look at the Release Notes published on the Knowledge Center, for a detailed description of all the enhancements and for Installation Pre-requisites and Installation Instructions.

Your Augeo Product Team

Augeo Software launches Augeo 5.4

Augeo lauches today a new version of Augeo 5. This version reaches many new features and engancement:

- Re-design of the milestones: in order to add a functional behavior in the planning engine instead of a simple info. The milestones now have a strong functional meaning: no allocation, no requirement, no assignment, no timesheet, and no children on a milestone. The progress of a milestone has also been enhanced.
- Management of requirements: a new status has been added to the requirements. When a requirement uses this status, when it is allocated, the workload on the requirement is progressively used when the requirement is allocated and the workload can be re-estimated at a later time.

- New Forms management:
The first main enhancement is allowing mapping of a form to a database table. In 5.3, all form values are stored in a single table. In 5.4, a form can be mapped on a specific database table that is dynamically generated to match the form configuration. The generic storage method is kept for backward compatibility and it is still completely supported in version 5.4.
The second main enhancement is allowing 1 level of nested forms so a main form can contain nested forms for forms stored in specific tables.
The third main enhancement is adding TABLE forms as a nested form in a main form. The user can then manipulate tables as is in the PFU with the additional power from the forms. In addition, a summary line is configurable for such a form.

- Demand Management: The Work Request Management module has been renamed into the Demand Management module. The module enhancement mainly comes from the enhancement in the forms (new types, tables…).

For more information about Augeo 5.4 feel free to contact us.

Augeo Software launches Planzone, a new SaaS collaborative project management platform

Web 2.0 concepts and technologies applied to collaborative project management

Paris, June 18 2008 - Augeo Software, a leading European Project and Portfolio Management software vendor, announces the launch of Planzone, its new SaaS (Software as a Service) platform for collaboration and project management based on Web 2.0 concepts and technologies.

Augeo Software designed the Planzone service to be a catalyst for collaborative and participatory project management involving all project team members, including cross-boundary resources and staff both inside and outside the company. Based on the foundations of Web 2.0 self-managed communities and Augeo’s expertise in project management, the platform implements the concepts of shared project workspaces and  an interactive user community.

Planzone – where teamwork begins   – brings together, in the same secured Internet collaborative workspace, all data related to the life cycle of a project. Whether it be the schedule, the various tasks assigned to each project team member, the milestones or the resources and documents needed for the success of the project, all data are accessible to all team members from a Web browser. The Ajax interface offers the user intuitive ergonomics and elegant graphics design. An on-line multi-media collaborative notebook (Wiki), RSS feed management and automated e-mail notification of alerts and activity reports round out the product.

Planzone addresses the new collaboration and project management challenges of a globalized economy in which project team members are increasingly geographically remote and also have to work more efficiently with each other. Planzone targets teams of managers and professionals working on cross-boundary projects and relying on internal and external resources to get things done:  marketing campaigns, new business and product launches, budget validation cycles, customer services, event management, consulting assignments, etc.  Planzone more specifically targets distributed project teams within “digital economy” companies such as communications agencies, consulting companies, software and technology vendors, service companies or freelancers – as well as company departments such as marketing, HR or finance. Planzone is also an ideal solution for associations and public administrations looking for a simple and affordable technical solution to better coordinate their activities.

“Our experience with project management customer needs, gained through contact with our European major accounts, has allowed us to understand recent changes in the market”, remarked Simon Trudelle, VP of Products and Marketing at Augeo Software. “By taking into account these new expectations, integrating the potential of new Web 2.0 technologies, and implementing an agile development process based on an avant-garde technology framework, Augeo is differentiating itself and once again bringing innovation to the international market for project management software”, added Laurent Raynaud, President and CEO of Augeo Software.

The Planzone platform embodies a new generation of enterprise software applications, developed in iterations, continuously tested and validated using resources and partners from many different backgrounds, both in Europe and overseas, inspired by the same vision and using Open Source technologies and components.

Augeo Software already offers the Planzone product in 5 languages (French, English, German, Dutch and Russian) to make it accessible to as many users as possible. Planzone is available at attractive rates, with an unlimited trial offer and subscription plans starting at 9.90 Euros per month, including all taxes. Enterprise plans are also available.

Augeo Software launches Augeo5 QuickStart for Medium-size IT Departments

Augeo Software, a European project and portfolio management (PPM) software vendor, launches Augeo5 QuickStart, a new pre-configured software package dedicated to information technology (IT) departments of less than 50 people.

Powerful project and portfolio management for mid-size organizations
With Augeo5 QuickStart, Augeo Software expands its range of PPM solutions with a ready-to-deploy package for companies and government agencies of several hundred employees. This offering complements Augeo’s flagship enterprise product, Augoe5, designed for the specific needs of large technical and business departments working in mode project.

With Augeo5 QuickStart, mid-size companies now have a collaborative, turnkey, affordable and fast to implement software package for project and portfolio management. The outgrowth of over 17 years of experience with key accounts, Augeo5 QuickStart for IT departments is operational in 8 days and includes:

• Comprehensive functional coverage across the entire project life cycle
• Fast adoption by project teams
• Flexible pricing with a subscription model or a classic license contract

"Smaller companies face the same performance and efficiency challenges as larger companies,” says Simon Trudelle, VP Products and Marketing for Augeo Software.
“With Augeo5 QuickStart, these organizations can manage every aspect of their project investments with software that has the same capabilities as enterprise solutions, but is faster to implement and more affordable.” 

An effective, right-sized project management solution
Augeo5 QuickStart meets the needs of IT departments with less than 50 people. It provides:

• Resource and activity management,
• Project planning and budgeting,
• Costs and risks monitoring,
• Collaboration and reporting.

IT Directors can thus better manage their departments, while providing their teams with all the flexibility and autonomy they need to be effective and efficient.

“Augeo5 QuickStart  helps project teams better plan, track and manage their work. Managers can provide accurate and timely responses to questions such as, ‘Who is works on what projects?', 'How much will this project cost?' and ’How quickly can we launch this product?’  With Augeo5 QuickStart, mid-size companies also gain visibility to the entire portfolio of projects which enables them to get a top-down picture of all projects to ensure they are aligned with company priorities and goals," added Simon Trudelle.

A global vision for a better project management
Augeo5 QuickStart provides a centralized view of all project information from a single collaborative web tool. It presents a “cost-time-quality" picture, to both the project teams and to management. This global view takes the form of dashboards, reports and performance indicators accessible through a web browser. Management and project leaders can:

• Stay informed of potential risk associated with a project, such as shifts in schedules or budget overruns
• Prioritize initiatives based on costs, critical resource needs, risks or ROI
• Ensure greater collaboration within project teams by sharing knowledge and information related to projects.

Immediate benefits and potential savings
Within in the first few weeks of implementation, Augeo5 QuickStart contributes to improved performance by enabling more effective management throughout the entire project life cycle.  Over time, PPM solutions can help reduce the total cost of IT projects by 10 to 30% – and more when other departments of the company are also involved on specific IT projects.

Fast implementation
Augeo consultants follow a documented and proven 8-day implementation plan to:

• Install and set up the software
• Analyze the needs and adapt the pre-configured settings
• Transfer knowledge to an internal project team

Affordable and flexible commercial packages
Augeo5 QuickStart is available in two attractive commercial packages, license or subscription.  The subscription model allows customers to get started with a lower first-year investment.
