Web-based project management platform ZCOPE goes international

After one year exclusively in German the website www.getzcope.com finally is available in English as well.

Bregenz, 1st of July 2009. ZCOPE project leader Bernd Hepberger is excited: „It‘s a big step for our team. We are now ready to invite the whole internet world to join thousands of companies who already manage their projects with ZOCPE.“

The update was not a simple translation of existing pages - the whole website underwent an existential relaunch. Many parts of the website have been extended and additional content was added, such as the case studies and the new ZCOPE tutorials.

ZCOPE is proud to provide its service to a bigger audience: The three classic project management areas of tasks, dates and budgets are organised with quality and simplicity via ZCOPE. Only necessary data is maintained in order that the focus always lays on the realisation of projects, not the planning. The easy handling motivates users to keep their data up to date.

Additionally the tool offers document management and a so-called project blog. Hence it‘s fully Web 2.0. No more email-flooding. All important information is saved centrally and is always accessible. As controlling communication is very important to almost all project managers, ZCOPE is the perfect solution.


About ZCOPE
ZCOPE (www.getzcope.com) was launched on 19th September 2008 after a four month beta phase with 400 companies in the German-speaking area. The idea behind ZCOPE results from challenges in the the day to day management of own projects and numerous customers requests. The goal is to create and advance an online service that allows the administration of complex projects with little training.

Philosophy
The software understands itself as a tool for different approaches and project management methods. The means adapt to the end, the software to its user.

ZCOPE is suited for all industries, project and team sizes. Everyone can work with it, also users with few experiences in managing projects. 

Security
Database: Each ZCOPE client has an own idependent database. Thus the access to installations other than their own is not possible for ZCOPE users. The database servers are not connected to the web servers. As they can‘t be accessed directly, hacking attacks on the system are made difficult.

Hosting: The databases are operated by a professional center, all uploaded documents hosted via Amazon‘s S3 service.

Downloads: The premise for the download of documents is an active ZCOPE session, the whole S3 data management is protected by time-controlled session keys. An anonymous download is not possible.

SSL: For users with high security standards ZCOPE provides the SSL-protocoll (included in the ENTERPRISE plan by default), enabling a secure communication via the web browser.
