AtTask’s VP of Sales, Abraham Knell, shows off the @task Project and Portfolio Management solution. The application has a simple UI that is easy to learn and use. Tabs and drop-down menus in headers give the web-based offering a rich, desktop client-like experience without the hassle of software installs or updates. AtTask offers APIs to integrate into other Enterprise and workflow systems. And with Apple as a client, it should come as no surprise that there is an iPhone application.

Employees can collaborate and update projects through Microsoft Outlook. Dashboards with traditional Gantt charts and graphical cost, risk, and benefit views make it easy for management to determine status.
