I have been using eProject for years. eProject provides a collaborative workspace to share any information anytime for customers and team members.
There is an upload capability from MS Project to bring up your project tasks, assign them to project team members and have them update the tasks in real-time on any machine with a browser. The team can also hold fully-threaded discussions, share documents with check-in, check-out, and version control.
The Workgroup verison of eProject is only $19.95 per person per month and I have used it to support companies with up to 50 active projects. The newest version, Enterprise, allows teams to track and report on large enterprises. They have added Dynamic Applications (mini-databases) to Enterprise edition to allow a project manager or administrator to create small applications on the fly with web entry forms. The form can be attached to any website and the user doesn't even have to hav a license. Check out www.eproject.com. Saving Changes...

Any documents you know that compare eProject and MS Project? Saving Changes...
MS Project is a project scheduling tool and generally has the focus of one project or program without using add-on applications.
eProject is a collaborative web-based solution to provide: * INTERACTIVE and COLLABORATIVE project scheduling (it does upload and synch with MS Project schedules) and task reporting. The project manager can assign tasks and the team members are notified of task assignment. Every team member can update their tasks and provide information to the project manager, PMO, or oversight office. * Interactive calendaring with vCal upload to MS Outlook, PDA calendars, and others. * Document management - documents can be uploaded to a folder structure, linked to appointments (calendar), tasks (project schedule), issues or discussions. Every document has full security, version control with the previous versions available for reference, check-in/check-out capability, and document history to show who has referenced the document. * Threaded discusions - allowing all project team members to comment at any point in the discussion thread, link documents for reference, allow others to view or not view a response, and notification of response. * Issues Management - allowing the project manager to assign issues. The team members are notified of assignment and can provide information throughout the issue resolution. * Polls - project members can create interactive surveys with voting and results provided in real time. This is a great communications tool when teams are disperse. * Dashboards and Reports - eProject provides dashboard for real-time project information. The reporting features are improving daily for canned or custom reporting.
The nice thing about eProject is all information about the project is in one place. You don't have to use shared disks for documents or other reference materials. You can also get to eProject from anywhere as there is no application on your machine to maintain or install. A team member can stop by a machine in the airport or at a customer site and refer to the project information.
The best thing about eProject is I was able to buy 25 licenses in the morning and have all 25 users productively using the product by the end of the day with about 1 hour of training and discussion.
The Total Cost of Ownership over time is much lower than MS Project and the benefits are much greater. Saving Changes...

As John Fillicetti works for eProject. I'd say his comments are a bit bias. Saving Changes...
