Elecosoft announced the launch of Version 14.0.02 of Asta Powerproject, its flagship project management solution. The software has evolved over nearly 30 years by listening to customer feedback, which is why it is recognized as best-in-class for scheduling and how it is tailor-made for construction users.
This latest release brings new features and extended functionality, including several specifically requested by US customers to reflect the way they work. Improvements delivered in this release include the ability to:

• Have an option when creating a new project from an existing one to remove all progress values
• Show cost and income assignments with a negative value. Users can also specify the way negative costs are handled when exporting to and importing from Microsoft Project or Primavera.
• Create new summaries and charts by right-clicking in the project view
• Display heat maps in resource usage views
• Constrain tasks to complete within a specified time period
• View a task’s complete chain of linked predecessor or successor tasks
• Store the original duration of each task before any progress has been applied

“We have a very long history of working closely with customers,” said Jim Dawkins, U.S. Channel Manager for Elecosoft. “Their needs will continue to drive the direction of our products development and this release continues that approach.”
Asta Powerproject is the first choice of many leading contractors around the world and is becoming increasingly popular among schedulers in the U.S., with companies such as Pepper Construction finding it the right fit for their needs.
Eric Bullion, Pepper project director says, “At Pepper, we believe that investing more time in planning up front actually compresses our overall timeline. Asta Powerproject will help us do that even more efficiently. The system is intuitive and customizable – providing our teams the ability to quickly produce a quality schedule in a way that supports the needs of each individual client.”
Version 14.0.02 is now available for purchase, with all supported Asta Powerproject users able to access a free downloadable update.
