Atidan released an updated version of ProjectExplore for iPad today, a mobile application for project managers to work with Microsoft Project Server 2010. It provides a flexible and productive project management solution with the ability to view an enterprise dashboard of projects and resources, detailed individual project plans, resource and project allocations, and work distributions.

It delivers improvements to the Project Details interface including a new Gantt chart view, highlights for tasks that are in the critical path, and the ability to see over-allocated tasks. The Resource Center now highlights resource unavailability and weekends.

"Effective project management requires clear communication, fast decisions and efficient allocation of people and resources," said Sophie Shuklin, vice president, Atidan. "Now ProjectExplore is even better at providing real-time project information and reporting anywhere you need it to enable collaboration and the alignment of business priorities."

The iPad app does not require any Microsoft Project server plugins or modifications. ProjectExplore does require Windows Authentication to your Microsoft Project Server from your Apple iPad.

Available for purchase from the Apple App Store.
