Bellevue, WA - May 5, 2003 - For companies doing business with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the scheduling software of choice has been Primavera Project Planner (P3). One of the main reasons that P3, rather than some of the more powerful Primavera software suites, has been used is because P3 has an add-on utility that converts P3 projects and schedules into SDEF files. SDEF, which stands for Standard Data Exchange Format, is the customized file format that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires for submitted schedules.

While Primavera Systems has released several enterprise-wide software suites with far more robust functionality than P3, the lack of an SDEF conversion utility has prevented many companies from taking advantage of Primavera's free upgrade offers. Enter TranSDEF, a freely downloadable, 32-bit software application from Integrated Project Solutions that easily converts projects and schedules in Primavera Enterprise and P3e/c for Construction to SDEF files. For organizations doing business with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, TranSDEF removes one of the primary issues in taking advantage of the new functionality and feature sets available in Primavera Enterprise and P3e/c.

Why is Integrated Project Solutions giving away free software? Charles Morton, President of Integrated Project Solutions, had this to say: "Admittedly, there aren't many companies that can survive for long by giving away free software and services, but we saw a need out there for a small, straightforward piece of software. Integrated Project Solutions is first and foremost a team of CPM schedulers and project management professionals who do not like unsolved problems. So, when we recognized this issue as problematic - we solved it. It's that simple." Call 877-688-1204 for more information.
