Organization and time management are the nuts and bolts of any company, either big or small. Big companies face the challenge of having to keep track of a complex number of tasks. The most challenging part is the correlation between the tasks. Companies, especially big ones, manage complex procedures. Persons have to be allocated to certain tasks, team collaboration is often needed.

As for such, the traditional way of planning, using paper and pencil, cannot face the growing complexity of a company's activities. The growing complexity is probably best observed by owners of small businesses, as soon as their company grows unexpectedly. In cases like this, management style has to be changed.

One solution for these emerging problems is computer- based programs. These can facilitate the workflow of a big company. Since the 1950s, different project management programs have been developed to tackle complex situations. Businesses have come to the conclusion that excel files will not do. When developing new products, IT specialists keep looking for a perfect combination of functionality and design.

Companies can also choose desktop software, but this can include more costs. It has to be installed on more computers and the information is stored in files. Another option is the storage in a central database. This desktop application needs more time to be maintained than a web - based one.

A more accessible possibility is a web- based project management tool. No software has to be installed; the program runs over a web browser, an extranet or an intranet. The most common one used is the intranet because of its higher security than the other options. In this case, only a restricted number or all employees have access to the application.

Web- based project management systems focus on tools and services that make it easier to manage projects. This can include shared files, shared calendars for meetings. The main focus of the project management system is to have an overview of the projects in progress. It can be used by multiple users. This way, tasks are updated by more users simultaneously. Projects can be accessed at any stage. Thus a long- term planning is possible. Another advantage is the overview of the budgeting and better possibility of allocating resources.

Thus, there is a big choice of web- based project management systems that can optimize the workflow of the companies. If needed, there is the possibility of tailoring the system to the organization's needs, by consulting specialized companies.
