5pm
5pm is a hosted task/document manager for multiple projects. The design is 100% Web 2.0 but as with many Web 2.0 applications the features don’t live up to the hype. The system handles multiple projects with each project associated with a list of tasks and files. The latter can not be organised into folders and there is no document versioning. The layout is unusual as other features such as reports, timelines and even users are global. Given the fact that all users can see all projects I wonder if it is oriented towards marketing agencies managing client projects. Either way, they have some way to go to make this a viable solution - even for simple projects. The system appears to be in beta so perhaps they plan to address some of these issues.
