Project Tracking System is a suite of fully integrated web-based applications that provide end-to-end coverage of the entire project life cycle in one project planning, management and tracking system. The creation and tracking of project data start from the time a "potential" project is identified through the proposal stage until a project is formally opened, and continues throughout project execution and closeout. While many of project management systems focus on project planning, the depth of functionality provided by PTS covers the entire project lifecycle with superior features and capabilities that are vital during project execution, monitoring and controlling, the two project phases where project management becomes more complicated and challenging.
