One of a select few business productivity applications to be Vista-Certified

AEC Software, a developer of business productivity solutions, has announced the release of FastTrack Schedule 9.2, the latest update to the company's flagship project management (PM) software for both Windows and Mac environments.

FastTrack Schedule 9.2 adds Microsoft Windows Vista Certification and enhances already robust data exchange with Microsoft Project. In addition, the latest version improves data exchange with Mindjet MindManager. FastTrack Schedule 9.2 is a free update for users of FastTrack Schedule 9.

"AEC Software is committed to embracing the latest advances in operating systems by providing the most up to date project management solutions for both Windows and Mac users," said Dennis Bilowus, President and CEO of AEC Software. "The arrival of Vista is an important milestone for businesses that utilize Microsoft applications. Achieving this certification provides our customers the assurance that as they migrate to Vista the project management software theyâTMve relied on for more than a decade is continuing to evolve along with their needs."

FastTrack Schedule 9 enables individuals and teams to effectively plan, track, and communicate project objectives. Advanced project managers who are accustomed to Microsoft Project can use FastTrack Schedule with the assurance that project information will seamlessly integrate with MS Project while providing more occasional project managers with an extremely affordable yet powerful alternative. In addition to optimising the application for Vista, AEC Software has in this version improved its already close data integration with Mindjet MindManager and added over forty feature enhancements.

FastTrack Schedule 9.2 remains one of the only project management applications available for both Windows and Mac environments, helping organisations with both PCs and Macs bridge departments, regardless of operating system. Easy to use and implement, FastTrack Schedule prompts high adoption rates and contributes to more successful PM initiatives. FastTrack Schedule has also recently earned awards for its ease of use, especially for small business users, and was cited by Small Business Technology Magazine as a "Product of the Year" for 2006.
