QG | Software launches 5pm, the next generation of online project management tools
QG Software is announcing the release of 5pm (www.5PMweb.com), an online project management tool. With an intuitive and customizable interface, 5pm is designed to synchronize dynamic teams working in different places, on different platforms, and even across time zones.
Unlike most project management tools, 5pm has a unique interface that allows users to access all features within one or two clicks and hide features they do not use.
"5pm gives the user a lot of flexibility," says CEO Greg Roy. "We don’t put everything out there and force our customers to use it. The application allows you to decide what’s important to your workflow."
5pm offers a full set of project management features, including grouping, time reports, security levels, email notifications, and attachment support. An interactive timeline (which is a simplified Gantt diagram) offers an alternative view of projects and tasks. Best of all, the entire application is web-hosted, so even geographically dispersed teams can access it 24 hours a day.
"We have spent a lot of time looking for the right solution," says Tim Johnson of SAFI Tech, "It seems that it is very difficult to get a solution which is simple and attractive but still has all the features we need…. I think 5pm definitely has it right."
5pm was developed using the latest technologies, including AJAX and Flash, and is compatible with a wide range of Windows and Macintosh browsers.
QG Software is currently offering 5pm as a hosted service, available at www.5pmweb.com. It comes in a variety of plans, ranging from $14 to $84 per month. A free 14-day trial is also available. For more information, including a live demo and a two-minute introductory video, please visit www.5pmweb.com.
About 5pm
5pm is a hosted, subscription-based Software as a Service (SaaS). With a unique, customizable interface and powerful features, it requires no installation on a computer and can be accessed from anywhere in the world through a web browser. It was publically released by QG Software in November 2007.
For more information contact Greg Roy at support-at-5pmweb.com.

The demo accounts have a nice touch where you can sign in as a power user – Bill Lumbergh or a regular user – Peter Gibbons.
that’s hilarious :)
im going to have to ask you to come in on sunday
5pm sounds like a good collaboration tool. Currently I use Communiclique and I am very happy with the services that their product provides. One feature that I really enjoy is the VoIP software that is integrated into the product. Does 5pm offer this or any other mobile capabilities?
Charlie,
Thank you for your comment about CommuniClique’s software. We are eager to receive feedback about our product. To readers who are interested in trying the software you can obtain a thirty day free trial of the CommuniClique software at

Hi – just started to use the program last week and uploded a lot of info….
Can you update me on the status – will the webpage start again or….?
Gisli
ps. this was a very cool program
Well, these guys will have to go a long way to become closer to market leaders, such as Wrike. BTW it seems like they copied some of the Wrike features. I still like Wrike’s drag-n-drop timeline better. Another advantage of Wrike is its email integration.
5pm actually does have email integration…
And, it looks like their software was around for a while and 5pm is just a new version. http://www.qgsoftware.com – that’s what I found. Those guys generated ideas long before Wrike was even around…
Too much marketing stuff in your post. Sorry. I think that ability to create tasks via email is great. I think that all pm tools should use have it. I’ve been managing projects for more than 5 years now and I know that email is the core of project communications. So it’s really strange you don’t use it in 5 pm. I’ve checked out 5pm and Wrike sites BTW. They released the feature this January. Wrike was originally launched with this feature in 2006. I think it’s always up to you to decide what software you will use, but I also think that you should promote your product honestly.
Looks like Wrike team is doing a good job by stocking all the posts on internet. I would understand if industry leaders would be called Basecamp, but Wrike… not sure about this.
5pm seams to come from an older version, long before Wrike was released. 5pm already supports email integration – I tried it, BTW. Doesn’t seam like a big deal. Regular feature – I don’t use it.
Also their Timeline is in Flash. Why is this important? It means it has a much bigger potential when it will come to drag and drop (Action script guys know what I’m talking about). Unless 5pm decides not to go this way.
Generally 5pm looks and feels very refreshing. Their service seams ok and I never heard of them positioning themselves as some kind of “industry leaders”. That’s up to me to decide who I consider a leader. Not some “industry”.
