BigWave vs. MS Project, I
Keeping with the building renovation analogy, MS Project requires a patchwork of products the same way some General Contractors need a lot of subcontractors. (And a full-time person is needed to administer MS Project Server EPM, Windows Sharepoint Services and EPK Suite.)
But BigWave can do it all – right out of the box – giving an organization unlimited access to the product with an easy-to-understand framework and implementation process.
The mission of BigWave Software is to help Project Managers be successful, by allowing them to focus on managing the project rather than administrative and coordinating tasks. The advanced technology and exceptional support of BigWave helps PM’s to eliminate the chaos and streamline multi-site project management.
MS Project, which focuses mostly on scheduling, is cumbersome to use for multi-site projects. So MS Project Server was created – seemingly as an afterthought to fill the gap.
While BigWave can handle scheduling, its focus is on maximizing communication to foster collaboration (which is what most project managers really require) throughout the implementation process of multi-site projects.
