SEAVUS PROJECT VIEWER – BENCHMARK TEST RESULTS PROJECT VIEWER Benchmark Analysis Summary This document was prepared by Seavus on September 12, 2007 for the expressed purpose of testing all known viewers ®of Microsoft Project plans (.mpp files) currently available in the marketplace. ®The goal of this testing was to compare each viewer’s viewing/printing functionality to Microsoft Project to determine whether or not a manufacturer’s viewer contained that functionality. It is our mission to fairly test all viewers and to accurately display the information in an unbiased way - we let the products speak for themselves. We encourage all users of this benchmark to check the veracity of the report by spot checking items in the report. Over time, this report will degrade in accuracy as some manufacturers release new versions of their viewer and make improvements/fixes to their product(s). This report is updated approximately every 12 weeks. Our testers purchased the latest published versions of each viewer (as of three weeks prior to the date of this document) and did a thorough comparison of all features available in each of these viewers. See page 15 for a list of the exact project viewer version levels tested.

PEJORTCVIEWERBenchmark Analysis Summary
This document was prepared by Seavus on September 12, 2007 for the expressed purpose of testing all known viewers of Microsoft®Project plans (.mpp files) currently available in the marketplace. The goal of this testing was to compare each viewer’s viewing/printing functionality to Microsoft®Project to determine whether or not a manufacturer’s viewer contained that functionality. It is our mission to fairly test all viewers and to accurately display the information in an unbiased way - we let the products speak for themselves. We encourage all users of this benchmark to check the veracity of the report by spot checking items in the report. Over time, this report will degrade in accuracy as some manufacturers release new versions of their viewer and make improvements/fixes to their product(s). This report is updated approximately every 12 weeks. Our testers purchased the latest published versions of each viewer (as of three weeks prior to the date of this document) and did a thorough comparison of all features available in each of these viewers. See page 15 for a list of the exact project viewer version levels tested.
