AtTask Chosen as Red Herring 100 North America Winner
Earlier this year, AtTask Inc. was selected as a winner of the Red Herring 100 North America Award. The award is given to the one-hundred most innovative private technology companies located within North America by the well-respected magazine devoted to “The Business of Technology.” AtTask, Inc. provides on-demand project and portfolio management software. In its recognition, it joins previous winners such as Google, Yahoo!, and Youtube.
What does AtTask do?
AtTask is a multi-functional project and portfolio management system. The program covers three main company requirements: Management, Collaboration and Integration. The program allows for distribution of work, ease of updates, remote collaboration, and more.
Tools for Management include:
- Quick search
- Viewable Baselines
- Project Reports
- Portfolio Scorecard
- Timesheets
- Combined and Personal Calendars
These tools alone make AtTask a powerful tool for project and portfolio management. However, in addition to these tools, there are also collaboration tools including:
- Tasks by status
- Task Worksheets
- Pie charts
- Milestone Path status reports
- Document uploading
- Email notification alerts
- And notes that are intended to reduce the need for status meetings
Finally, AtTask integrates seamlessly with many other software programs including:
- Microsoft Office Outlook
- Oracle
- SAP
- PeopleSoft
- MS Project
- Salesforce
The Award
Red Herring awards the 100 North America for private companies, considering primarily new firms. A company can only win the award once. The awards identify new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. AtTask has been recognized primarily for its innovation – and it appears that this software covers most, if not all, project and portfolio management needs – especially with the ability to integrate into already existing software.
