As founder and CEO of www.proworkflow.com – our web based project management software company, I have many challenges on a daily basis. Basically my day is troubleshooting and helping sort people out. So I’ve decided that this description of the term C.E.O. is a little more relevant.

“Code customers only make up 8% of our customer base (today), it show’s you the move from code to SaaS, 100% of our customers used to be code” – this was a quote I noticed on a staff members Twitter account.
He’s right though. We operate a leading project management software company – www.proworkflow.com. We’ve been around since 2002 and have seen a few things over that time. The most obvious is the natural shift from a ‘Code Selling’ model to a ‘Subscription/SaaS’. I say a ‘NATURAL’ shift because over the past 4 years we’ve been marketing a single solution with both code download and subscription option.
When we began, we only offered the code download option, and listed in many code libraries. 2 years later, we started the subscription offering (SaaS/Software as a Service). At no point did we ever really push the deployment option as a marketing angle.

We’ve just released the new ProWorkflow official team blog – www.ProWorkflowblog.com. We would like to get some feedback about the design, and feel of the site and navigation. We’re not trying to be leading edge here, just after a simple clean layout so we can keep users informed of updates and changes etc.
This will also be a platform for ProWorkflow team members to have a say, so you’ll get tips from the developers, sales staff as well as product updates and news. We’ll also be featuring customer testimonials and talking about their businesses.
Feel welcome to put your 2 cents in and let us know if there’s anything we should add, remove or otherwise.

One of the great benefits to SaaS (Software as a Service) and web based applications is the ability to leverage API’s to get different applications working seamlessly together. This eliminates double entry and opens up powerful flexible solutions to customers. We’ve been working with the team at Xero (Web Based Accounting) to get ProWorkflow (Web Based Project Management Software) seamlessly integrating through invoices.
Invoices can be created directly inside ProWorkflow, using information from the project (expenses, time, line items etc). There is a simple ‘Send To XERO’ link to push the invoices across. Now they are in Xero, payments can be applied as received. It’s easy!
