Straightforward Timesheets and Expenses for SharePoint 2010
August 2010
Good news. Straightforward Timesheets and Straightforward Expenses for SharePoint 2010 are coming to their final stages of testing. Our new consultant Sergey Storm has been working hard to upgrade and test both Timesheets and Expenses.
The upgrade started with the release of SharePoint 2010 beta. We installed both Straightforward Timesheets and Expenses onto SharePoint 2010 beta and began testing. This revealed what we needed to do in order to make them compatible. This process continued once SharePoint 2010 was fully released and has resulted in the up and coming release of Timesheets and Expenses for SharePoint 2010.
To learn more about upgrading to SharePoint 2010, Straightforward Timesheets or Straightforward Expenses please contact us.

PointBeyond Spearheads Project Server 2010 Launch
July 2010
With the exciting launch of Microsoft Project Server 2010 which takes project and portfolio management to new heights PointBeyond is proud to say that we have been selected by Microsoft as one of only a handful of Microsoft Gold Partners to spearhead the launch of Project Server 2010 services.
Why use Project Server 2010 I hear you ask and that is a good question. One of the biggest problems facing business today is selecting the right mix of projects that will give you the maximum results with the resources you have. Project Sever 2010 automatically calculates this for you based on your selected business drivers, available resources and budget and then presents this information in a clear and useable way.
You can then use Project Sever 2010 to manage your project portfolio. The high level dashboards are great for busy executives, and from these you can drill down to detailed views suitable for project managers.
With PointBeyond’s straightforward approach to project management we put you in the driving seat. Gain control, eliminate resource bottlenecks and maximise the returns on your project investments.
What is our unique approach? Our approach is simple, helping you to achieve portfolio management success. It allows us to breakdown even the most complex of projects into manageable stages, we won’t make you run before you can walk. We start with a full exploration of your needs to find out where you are and where you want to be. We will then assist you through design, implementation and launch.
