I was fed up that Basecamp does not provide Gantt charts, so I searched for options. I found Viewpath - a fee beta up with up to 25MB. It's pretty user friendly and just has the basics. It also has a time tracking module.
I especially like the export to PDF and Excel options. Labels: basecamp, free, gantt, project management, viewpath
Douglas Merrill, CIO of Google was quoted in the March 18, 2008 issue of the Wall Street Journal:
"Fifteen years ago, enterprise technology was higher-quality than consumer technology. That's not true anymore. It used to be that you used enterprise technology because you wanted uptime, security and speed. None of those things are as good in enterprise software anymore [as they are in some consumer software]."
Consumer software, especially free to very low-cost online software such as Google Docs and Basecamp have leveled the playing field for small businesses. I can't wait to see what's next.
