Situation: You Are Interested in a PPM Solution that Goes Beyond the Project Lifecycle.
The Serena Software acquisition of Pacific Edge has been interesting to watch. There has been a lot of consolidation in the industry that makes you wonder which "all in one" solution is best. The whole idea of "managing software from concept to death" is an interesting one. It points to the blurring of the line between operational management of applications and project-oriented efforts. A lot of what Microsoft is doing by integrating project more deeply with the rest of Office is motivated by the realization that people's "work" is not always project-based and tracking operational tasks along with project progress can give you a more comprehensive look at how your resources are being utilized.

Dave,
Unfortunately, we’ve seen companies spreading the information that PM Software is the panacea for all problems related to Project Management. I don’t know if it’s one of the case…lets see.
Worked as Project Manager for three years brought me the perfect understanding what is a PM software: just a tool.
Now, I’m working in a survey of what is considered, by companies, when they decide to adopt a PM software.
Do you have any paper or article which could help me? Not only the attributes that make the difference, but one if there is one kind of correlation between company’s way of manage the project, type of project and the software.
Thanks in advance.
