Now that Clarizen project management software 2.0 is behind us, Clarizen 2.1 is cooking. Taking advantage of our pure SaaS infrastructure, that allows us to churn out frequent updates, next month we are coming out with some more new features, most of which are a direct response to your feedback and requests.

Some of the new features include Advanced Reports, Clarizen SOA, Outlook Plug-in, Custom Logo Firefox Support, Links to web-based documents (See details below).  Read

1. Advanced Reports
   As part of the day-to-day work, almost every team member in a project needs to get a specific report to view and be able to work on his\her assigned items. 
   Clarizen will supply an advanced tool to manage public and personal reports of all kinds, including a rich list of predefined reports and metrics, such as: Resource Overload & Usage.
   
   
2. Clarizen SOA and Outlook Plug-ins
   Clarizen will provide a rich interface of web services that will allow other applications to seamlessly integrate with your projects.
   Sample of integrations developed on top of this technology include Outlook, CAD and other engineering environments.
   
   
3. Attachment Improvements
   Users will be able to reference a document that resides in the intranet or somewhere on the web without needing to upload it into Clarizen. This is essential especially for development environments, where files are located centrally inside a dedicated Document Management System (DMS) or on the network (e.g. CAD design environment).
   
   
4. Firefox Support - Beta
   Clarizen on Firefox browser will be coming out initially in beta mode. Users interested in taking part of the beta program, please contact us via the web site.
   
   
5. ProjectMail Improvements
   Users reporting their progress over email will also be able to submit plain text with their completion. Thus far users could only submit over email their percent or effort of task completion. With this new feature, users can also enter text and submit it over email. The text will be captured as a new Note and show up on related team members' What's New panel and marked New in the Current Project view.
   
   
6. Co-Branding
   Users interested in showcasing their brand and logo will be able to do so by uploading their logo into the Clarizen application.
