Métier, Ltd. Unveils Cutting Edge jGantt for the WorkLenz PPM Software


August 13, 2007; 02:17 AM
Métier, Ltd., an innovator in project portfolio management software and services, announced today that it has added jGantt cutting edge, on-demand, JavaScript-enabled Gantt technology to the WorkLenz project portfolio management software.

The groundbreaking Gantt feature, used within the Schedules tool in WorkLenz, comprises the capabilities of the leading traditional, PC-based tools, but does so in a browser-based system with no downloadable controls. Because of its unique architecture, the improved WorkLenz Schedules tool surpasses the functionality of its PC-based predecessors. It has the capacity to process huge schedules without running out of memory and outperforms traditional systems in a go anywhere browser-based tool.

This fully functioning, on-demand, web-based Gantt chart technology has no client-side controls or applications to download. Using a combination of AJAX, web services, and dynamic HTML, Métiers jGantt technology in WorkLenz Schedules allows users to view and update entire projects, complete with dependencies, more efficiently than ever before in a web-based system. This provides extremely fast Gantt views and manipulations across the entire Gantt timeline with a thin, web-based application that wont consume network resources.

Performance evaluations using up to 10,000 line schedules with 60 year timelines and a weekly scale demonstrated performance comparable or exceeding traditional fat client project scheduling tools, said Douglas Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Métier. Our new technology is so powerful that project managers are able to view and manipulate tasks and their dependencies on the fly without the use of cumbersome client-side applications or downloads that bog down network resources. This is unheard of with traditional Gantt technology.

The new Gantt feature is now a standard capability of the Schedules tool within the WorkLenz software for project portfolio management.
