Projity Hits 100,000 OpenProj Download Milestone in First Full Month OpenProj is a Free Replacement of Microsoft Project Available on Linux, Unix, Ma

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- Projity, the leader in SaaS and open source project software announced today that over 100,000 copies of OpenProj have been downloaded in the first full month since launching.

OpenProj is a free, open source replacement of Microsoft Project, "the 100,000 downloads are a tremendous validation of Projity's open source alternative. However, it is only the start and also only part of the story as there is a much larger impact," said Marc O'Brien, CEO Projity.

The alternative Office suites from Google, Sun, IBM, Novell and others have been missing this key application as Project is in the Office family of solutions and is installed on 7% of all Office desktops. Projity is providing the only alternative in both the SaaS and open source markets.

"Projity is pleased to complement the efforts of the Office suites and provide an important addition, companies can now migrate their entire Office suite to either SaaS or open source with the addition of Project-ON-Demand and OpenProj," O'Brien said.

Projity's solutions are now being used to manage projects in over 121 countries around the world. OpenProj is available on Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows and is free of charge. This presents a tremendous value proposition as Microsoft Project is limited only to Windows and has a list price of $999.99. The worldwide response has been tremendous with thousands of new users every day. In the first month OpenProj translations have been completed in many languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian and Chinese.
