GridIron Software has announced the public beta release of GridIron Flow 2.0 Essentials, new technology for efficient project and resource management.<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/a>

\n

This free, cross-platform Project Operating System defines a new category of technology designed to help creative professionals as well as enterprises solve a variety of problems inherent to workgroups that lead to non-creative work, lost productivity and profits. With the public beta release, GridIron Software will request user feedback on product features and functionality, which will ensure that high quality standards are sustained with all GridIron Software products.<\/p>\n

Using a SaaS model, GridIron Flow 2.0 attacks issues experienced by creative professionals, such as working with distributed teams without tools to track their productivity, and no way to automatically track files, users and project relationships, and their dependencies. At the same time it provides real-time resource allocation data enabling better planning, pricing and asset management. GridIron Flow 2.0 leverages the cloud, creating a SaaS model product that adds capability without hampering the intrinsic workflow of the creative process.<\/p>\n

“The concept behind GridIron Flow 2.0 is to balance the needs of both creative professionals and management while increasing the productivity of both,” said Udo Eberlein, CEO of GridIron Software. “Creative professionals need a flexible working environment to be creative, but management needs effective tracking and quantitative analysis to allocate resources. GridIron Flow 2.0 provides a process environment that enables visibility into resource allocation and tools that minimize waste and inefficiency. We are releasing a public beta version first to ensure we meet the needs and expectations of the creative enterprise with a trusted and quality product.”<\/p>\n
