(openPR) - ProjectWizards’ Merlin 2.5 brings collaborative networking and increased functionality to its successful Macintosh-based project management tool

Melle, Germany, October 16, 2007: Project management consultants ProjectWizards are pleased to announce the beta release of Merlin 2.5.

The biggest new feature of Merlin 2.5 is its multi-user capability. “We recognize that project management is a collaborative effort; now Merlin 2.5 enables project managers to work together to get real-time feedback on their projects, not only in a local area network but also over the Internet,” says ProjectWizards’ CEO Frank Blome.

Merlin 2.5 boasts over 100 exciting new features, Blome says. From the addition of networking capability to the freedom to assign dedicated user- or group-defined access rights to dynamic planning and even bi-directional synchronization with iCal, Merlin 2.5 makes project management a collaborative event, as opposed to a single project manager’s task.

Merlin 2.5 will be made available for free as a download to all Merlin 2 users. Current Merlin 2 users will see an improved overall interface, enhanced Gantt chart information - such as group boundaries and highlighting of the most recent changes - more flexible project and resource calendar controls and multiple windows to allow users to view projects from many different angles. They can download Merlin 2.5 for free from the Merlin Web site, www.merlin2.net

“We are pleased to offer Merlin 2.5 free of charge to our Merlin 2 customers when it is released. We believe very strongly that Merlin 2.5 will be the leading professional project management software on the Mac OS X market today,” Blome says.
