Calgary, Alberta, Canada – (April 6, 2005) – Replicon Inc., the market’s leading provider of time tracking software, has announced the release of Web Resource, its web-based resource scheduling solution. Building on the success of Web TimeSheet, Replicon has created another robust and yet simple web-based solution, aimed at helping organizations better manage their project costs and schedules. In anticipation of the product’s launch, over 30 companies have pre-purchased Web Resource, with many more organizations currently evaluating the product.

Today, many organizations are discovering that spreadsheets are not an effective solution for high-level scheduling of resources to projects. In addition, most of the current project management applications on the market are much too cumbersome and complicated for the simple task of resource scheduling. It is for these reasons that Replicon created Web Resource. Web Resource is a simple, web-based resource scheduling solution. By providing increased visibility into an organization’s labor pool, including employee availability and skills, organization can improve resource utilization and resource planning.
