Hi there,

I am writing to get a little "love" for the VPMi (a Web 2.0 resource, portfolio, and project management solution used around the world since 1998)

We invented the VPMi 9+ years ago because I was frustrated with project management software. It was too complex, expensive, and cumbersome for the people who were trying to collaborate, manage portfolios, and get their hands around resource capacity planning (and NOT just satisfy ridiculous management reporting requirements).

If you want simple, sensible, and supportable web-based project management software, I would welcome you to try the VPMi Express ($5/user/month) at http://www.VCSOnline.com . For most companies, VPMi Express is cheaper then Open Source hosting and very capable (unlimited documents, projects, real workplans, issues, timesheets, and status reports).

The VPMi is free for the first 30 days and we have an extensive video training collection to help you get started.

This has been our life's work and have over 30,000 happy customers all over the world and would be proud to receive future inclusion in your application listing.

Best Regards,

Nick Matteucci

Hi Bill - you should also list www.trampolinesystems.com

[bill Ives]

Thanks to VPMI and Trampoline Systems for you input. I welcome other vendors to add themselves as long as they do not get too PRish and are relevant to the topic. Those will that violate either of these request will be deleted. But if you are appropriate feel free to provide a brief summary of what you offer as VPMi did. I also also promise to at least look at all the appropriate entries but timing will depend on my schedule. Bill
