Bielsko-Biala, Slaskie -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/01/2011 -- To be effective and efficient at accomplishing tasks, we should always start with thinking through our objectives and what activities we have to carry out to reach those objectives. Just thinking about it, however, is not enough. We must get our thoughts out of the head and put them down, where we can see them. Only then we will be able to get some structure to the chaos in our head and our thoughts will become organized and easier to grasp.

Although paper has been a proven tool for this purpose since long time back, better results can be achieved if what we have in our head is put down where others can see it as well. Feedback, exchange of ideas and interactions, unbound geographically, create value. By using online collaboration tools such as Projektino, you can tap into that value.

In practical terms, it means that you set-up a project, invite people to the project and start collaborating with everybody on the project. Not only will your interactions (e.g. via shared messages, exchange of files or discussions about tasks) contribute to creating project knowledge, for everybody to tap, but the possibility for people to actually see what happens in the project as it runs its course, will make everybody more engaged and willing to contribute.

To sum up, Projektino will make it easier and more fun to accomplish any kind of project, be it at work or in private life. It will also save costs in your organization.
Here are a couple of project examples where Projektino can be used:

Writing books - recently several authors used Projektino to co-write an e-book. The participants appreciated the possibility to share ideas about the story and characters in an environment that made it easy to communicate and collaborate.

Grant application writing - anyone that has had the opportunity to write proposals for funding knows that any help in organizing the collection of input and content as well as efficient communication between all parties involved in the writing process, will shorten the preparation time of the application. Projektino was used to write a grant application for the California-based Club Tuki LCC,

Organizing different events - those who had a chance to organize a wedding ceremony or reception have not to be reminded of the great many small tasks one has to carry out. Projektino allows you to remember all the details. You can create different To-do lists where you can put tasks with deadlines. This gives you a nice overview of things to accomplish before the big day.

Education - teachers can organize group-work or different projects with their students. Projektino is a great communication tool and will make students more engaged thanks to the social community features offered by Projektino.

One might say that artists could together with the Internet users use Projektino to write songs (like some artists already do), but such implementation hasn't been recorded with our software yet.

To cope with all sorts of tasks and their results there has been invented an online collaboration software (tool), which is also represented by Projektino. There are also different programs to run projects (called project management software), but may alienate many because of the amount of complex functions.

Projektino makes life easier for many people, as well as for many companies and their departments (positive signals are coming from marketing, sales and distribution). Soon there will be new functions introduced that will especially satisfy the Google users.

About Projektino
Projektino is a online collaboration and project management platform (offered as Software as a Service), that was launched in March 2010. Projektino is developed by the Apetonic.com team with many years experience from various projects and start-ups. Our goal has been to create a practical, easy-to use application. We are continuously working on introducing new features and functionalities and hope this will encourage more people to use our platform.

What is Project Mangement? (Source: Wikipedia)
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically that is actually a higher level construction: a group of related and somehow interdependent projects.

A project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring the preconceived project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives.

What is SAAS - Software as a Service (source: Wikipedia)
Software as a service (SaaS), sometimes referred to as "on-demand software," is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are typically accessed by users using a thin client, normally using a web browser over the Internet.

While practically every Internet service (such as Web search engine or web-based email) is driven by some underlying software, the term software as a service is often used in the context of business applications, and in some cases even more narrowly as software in a category which has on-premises software; i.e., equivalent applications that are installed in businesses' computer networks or personal computers.

SaaS has become a common delivery model for most business applications, including accounting, collaboration, customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), invoicing, human resource management (HRM), content management (CM) and service desk management. SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of all leading enterprise software companies.
