This is a very exciting time for all of us at Function Point. Team and Constituents alike.
Welcome to FP800
First a little history. In late fall 2004 we embarked on a new road for the company by launching the first version of Function Point, our web based time sheet and project managment software. In 2005 we worked closely with some of our first users identifying areas we could change, improve and build upon. In 2006 we added new capabilities around multiple rates and staff bill out amounts. 2007 saw improvements to tasking, briefs and resource utilization. In 2008 we improved forecasting revenue, viewing profitability of jobs and a variety of other capabilites.
Now in the first weeks of 2010 we have come to market with yet again a major step forward for the product and the FP Brand.
So what has been done?
- Changed the future of proofing your work and obtaining client feedback including video.
- Extended the system, allowing you to invite your clients to collaborate with you online.
- Added file management tools for storing and backing up large production documents.
Rebuilt the calendar to improve the view of job, task and events.
We have also launched the first view of what our future interface and user interaction will look like.
More to come.
Tate and Ryan have been working very hard to produce documentation on the new system and you will see more of this over the next weeks. Marc, DJ and I will be active reaching out to invite you to sessions designed to improve your productivity and profitability.
Through all of this we have had one very strong and consistent theme. Your input and motivation to inform us of your thoughts. You play a very important part of the release we are offering to you this week and I want to say a big Thank You for that.
We appreciate your continued support and business. Carpe Diem.
Chris Wilson
