Hosted Project Management: Standard Time

Standard Time is a project management software tool that can be used in a variety of ways.  One is a hosted solution where Scoutwest hosts the application on our servers.  This is a typical Software As a Service (Saas) method.  We handle the deployment, updates, and server maintenance, and you simply use the software.  In this mode, you have no worries about server and network maintenance.  You simply use the hosted project management solution and pay yearly for the service.  Standard Time has other deployment options (where you host it on your servers) but this page discusses the hosted solution.  Feel free to contact us for more information.

Standard Time for the Web
Hosted Project Management

Web based
As you can see from the image above, Standard Time is a web based project management system.  It lets you create projects and tasks, and assign those tasks to employees.  The tabs near the top show the functions available to managers and employees.

Project tracking capabilities
As a hosted project management system, Standard Time lets you build a hierarchy for your projects.  Each project and task may be assigned to users who track their time in the timesheet.  Actual hours are sent back to the tasks they represent.  This lets you compare forecasted hours to actual hours, thus improving your project management.  Administrators can grant rights to see all the project tracking capabilities, or limit employees to a simple timesheet.  Each employee has his/her own access rights.

Project Management Columns

Data columns
The image above shows some of the project management columns available on the hosted solution.  As you can see, these columns may be displayed in the project task view, and ordered as you would like to see them.  Standard Time tracks all project fields plus client and salary costs.
