General News

Summary

The Projity exec also hinted that the company is close to a deal to bundle OpenProj with Novells SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and has also had discussions with Red Hat and Ubuntu. OpenProj is currently bundled with Mandriva, another Linux distribution that is popular in Europe and is being marketed in the U.S. " "Weve got major visibility at the distros. We are speaking to Red Hat, Novell, and Ubuntu and were getting a warm reception because those companies are now orienting their desktops to the business community where ROI is important," he said. Even as the company steps ups its attack against Microsoft Project on that front, it is also considering offering its server-side components under an open source license. He claims Projity has several large deals pending in Europe, including one company that replaced 3500 copies of Microsoft Project with OpenProj.
