The most important benefit is, really, collaboration. The visibility that we are able to get internally is something that is worth every effort that we've been through.

Due to increased demand from many of our users, we have accelerated the delivery of Clarizen's Time Tracker so that it will be included in our next major release due out in September.

Time Tracker will allow you to track internal and external users' work time for billing, budgeting and other purposes and users will be able to submit their time using Clarizen's much talked about ProjectMail.

After all, one of the main advantages of having a pure SaaS solution is the ability to deliver rapid releases and shift priorities where and when needed. We encourage users to send us feedback and for those interested in beta testing early on some of these features, to email us.
