Press Release Summary: Asta Development has announced they will be exhibiting at the key trade shows Project Challenge and BPPM in London and Birmingham this autumn

Press Release Body: Asta Development has announced they will be exhibiting at the key trade shows Project Challenge and BPPM in London and Birmingham this autumn. The exhibitions are regarded as ‘a must’ for all business professionals seeking to optimise their business performance through more effective use of project and programme management (http://www.teamplan.co.uk/products/ProgrammeManagement.asp).

This year Asta has a fully interactive stand at both shows with experts on hand to give software demonstrations of Asta Teamplan and the newly launched Teamplan Express. Teamplan Express is Asta’s new "ready-to-go" project and resource management software solution that has been designed specifically for smaller teams. The software comes pre-set with a range of templates, resources and calendars – essentially mirroring best practice project management processes typically found within small and medium-size businesses.

Teamplan Express is based on the successful Asta Teamplan software and is priced to be attractive for smaller businesses with two licensing options, including a 14 user system, implementation and training at an ‘all in’ price.

Project Challenge, the UK’s largest dedicated event for Project, Programme, Process and Resource management (http://www.teamplan.co.uk/products/ResourceManagement.asp), gives attendees the opportunity to get up-to-date with all of the latest products like Teamplan Express. There are over 100 organisations exhibiting and this year there are free seminars and Solution’s Presentations organized across the two days which present great learning opportunities for visitors to the show.

Asta’s Sales Director, Paul Bamforth, is delivering a Solution’s Presentation on 'Getting Timesheets to Work'. From Paul’s experience he has found that timesheets have an important part to play in effective resource and project management (http://www.teamplan.co.uk/products/Projectmanagement.asp), however often the prospective timesheet users are reluctant to adopt them because of their "Big Brother" connotation.

Paul’s presentation at Project Challenge will explore the reasons behind these negative attitudes and the benefits timesheets offer both organisations and individuals, especially when they are linked directly into project plans. The session will then look at practical ways of removing the stigma and getting timesheets accepted culturally, including a number of real-life examples.

Both trade shows are very popular events and this year promises to be no exception.
