Merlin 2 is the next generation of project management software for Mac OS X. Following the tremendous success of Merlin 1, ProjectWizards has raised the bar to new heights with its newly released version.
Apart from the necessary and contained functions for project management, Merlin offers in addition important features which are needed during projects. Thus Merlin contains a complete risk management, a file management with version control and also an issue tracking. Even a specialized CRM is firmly integrated in Merlin. Projects can be synchronized with iCal. A specialized reporting system allows the project manager to create and modify significant reports with just a few mouse clicks. As the project progresses, Merlin evaluates the actual values, calculates the further project progress and provides a clear prognosis.
