Project Clock is intended to be useful for consultants, lawyers, engineers, contractors, project managers or anyone else who must accurately record the time spent on different projects.

Version 8 of Project Clock contains several important improvements, the company says. The most significant change is said to be the addition of Microsoft Project export features.

There is also now a feature to monitor external applications and punch in on program start and out on program close.

Project Clock Web administrators can now change configuration options and manage data right from the browser, the company adds.

Project Clock has several different versions to accommodate the needs of various customer types. Project Clock comes in Standard, Pro, Client/Server, and Web versions.

The Standard, Pro and Client/Server versions have a simple intuitive graphical interface.

While the Pro version can be used with multiple users over a network, the Client/Server version is better suited for large numbers of users, the company says.

Both the Client/Server and Web versions are designed to be used with multiple users accessing project time data over the company intranet or even the Internet.

Project Clock Web aims to allow time entry using any Web browser on virtually any operating system, not just Windows.
