So I was looking for software to manage my time better when it comes to doing projects for clients.
I realized that at work we used “Basecamp” which is an online work flow management system.
So I looked into it, asked my boss and he said to check out Basecamp for a small business.
Well let me tell you, it is an amazing system and since I use it for work it was familiar.
If you are looking for software to manage your projects and get your clients involved, take a look at Basecamp!

Basecamp doesn’t work for everyone. There are some quirks about it that make it difficult for some businesses to use (and their customer service is terrible). If you are serious about using software like this to run your small business, you should be diligent and check out some of the alternatives: OnStage, Wrike, or goplan, just to name a few.

I’ll look into these, I chose Basecamp because I was very familiar with it
since I use it at my work place.

We have development centers in India and a Russian republic, data center ops in Omaha, and employees / customers / partners in virtual teams all over the world.
Simple tools like GoPlan and Basecamp are OK for non project management/quick communications but we sell and need a project centered collaboration backbone where work gets done.
If this sounds like your company I would welcome you to try our software, VPMi Express ($5/user/month).
For most companies, VPMi Express is cheaper then Basecamp / open source hosting and much more functional (unlimited documents, projects, real workplans, feedback, timesheets, and issues). You won’t be looking for another tool in 6 months like most of our new VPMi Express customers tell us.
VPMi is free for first 30 days and we have an extensive video training collection to help you get started.
I wish you luck in whatever you land on and you can feel free to write us with any questions you might have.
Best Regards,
Nick Matteucci, Co-Founder
