I work in a Progam Management Office where we are researching tools that will allow multiple projects within our Program to log issues, risks, changes and integration points.
Initially we designed an access based database application which has been extremely useful so far, but, since the program is expanding the inherent problems with access (slow response times etc) are becoming a reason for concern.
Can anyone please shed some light on any Commercial off the shelf tools that might address the issue, risk, change, and integration management logging functionality.
The best tool I have found as an entire program office infrastructure solution is Hydra from The Program Management Group (www.pm-group.co.uk) and Mission HQ (www.mission-hq.com). Hydra covers integrated planning, risk management, time capture, strategic alignment and benefits realisation Saving Changes...

Having struggled with the software issue for a long time we developed a tool for managing multiple projects. It links to MSP but manages everything else (issues, risk, budgets, scope, benefits etc.) If you are interested check it out at www.projectperfect.com.au/pa.htm Saving Changes...
