Software for sharing project status with clients

[tstesen]

In order to cut down on the time I spend doing everyday activities I've been implementing programs and software that make my business life easier. One piece of software I'd like to find is a good platform for sharing project information with clients.

I tried dotProject but wasn't too impressed. I've been looking at COMINDWORK which looks good although I would like some opinions of others who are using programs such as these and which one(s) work well for you.

Specifically I'm looking for something that will
*allow clients to log in securely to their private project area
*allow clients to view the status of their project at any time
*allow clients to access project materials such as contracts, agreements, sign off forms, etc.

Thanks

You should try basecamp. I've used it on a number of projects and it's very good.

Thanks tobyhede I will check it out. I came across PhpCollab which I'm also looking into.

Thanks again

Base Camp is a very good recommendation.

We use dotProject at my work. It took a little while to get used to, but once you do it is very good.

Thanks for your input Daffy. After much pondering we settled on phpCollab. We used it for a few days in the office just to test it out. During the trial we set up a few client access accounts and allowed some of our clients to test out the platform. Overall the feedback has been very positive so I believe we've found our new tool.

Thanks again
