OnTrack Engineering Ltd. is proud to introduce OnTrack Project Manager 2005™, the latest version of our proven project management software previously known as CostTrack™.

The release of OnTrack Project Manager 2005™ edition has expanded capabilities and now works through ODBC to attach to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE).

OnTrack Project Manager 2005™ introduces the following features and benefits:

• Centralized database role-based security with customer empowered access management, producing increased scaleable and enterprise performance gains.
• Crystal Reports 11.0 reporting of all OnTrack Project Manager™ reports. Including ability for clients to customize reports to suit and export report data to HTML and XML. Ad-hoc and departmentalized custom reporting changes can be made at will without external vendor dependence.
• Lower total cost of ownership due to improved tools and deployment capabilities such as support for UNC paths and elimination of the dependence of the Windows© registry for program settings.
• Preserved user interfaces and capability, retaining prior training investments, to avoid lost productivity during the transition period.
• Industry-proven security provided by Microsoft SQL Server.
• New features such as re-implemented cost report generation (unlimited variations on one simple screen) and a re-implemented search database engine.

Our Strategic goal for OnTrack Project Manager 2005™ was to deliver OnTrack Project Manager 2004 functionality with a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database back end.

OnTrack Project Manager 2005™ is being released in two phases.

Phase 1 - Release with compatible features as with OnTrack Project Manager 2004™. This release is expected during summer of 2005.

Phase 2 - This release will reflect detailed performance tuning and the technical documentation for self-enabled Crystal Reports customization. This is expected to be available during the fall of 2005.

Overall the end-user functionality is the same. The following list includes, form a high-level, changes to the system:

• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 back end.
• Crystal Reports XI reporting.
• End-user functionality remains the same.
• Easier deployment and management of software.
