ActiveCollab: A great tool for managing your group's projects in a web-based environment

Our research group has been using ActiveCollab, a web-based project management system, for the last year to keep all of our projects and teams organized. We have found it quite useful, because most of our team projects involve multiple organizations and people from all over the globe. We can all stay on the same page when we log into ActiveCollab and view the latest messages, milestones, tasks and files related to a specific project. Everything stays in one place and all members for the project can access it at any time!

ActiveCollab has eliminated losing messages in email inboxes, sending around various file versions in email, and not knowing who is responsible for completing what task. All these things are clearly outlined for each project and help immensley when it comes to organizing your team and increasing efficiency.

Take a look at these demos for using the system, both as a regular user and as an administrator.

This program is open-source which means you can take the source code and implement it for your team at NO COST!
