With more than 6 million users, of which two-thirds listed in the Fortune 500 companies book, Seavus Project Viewer™, the leading viewer for Microsoft® Project Plans (.mpp files), has been improving project teams performance worldwide for more than 15 years.

Seavus Project Viewer™ allows users to open and read .MPP files without the need to have Microsoft® Project installed on your environment for just a fraction of a Project license price.

The solution is intended for all project team members, managers, and other employees on corporate level who need to open and view project plans in the .MPP file format.

By limiting MS® Project licenses to planning personnel only, and providing all other employees with a project plan viewer, companies not only succeed in improving team coordination and performance, but they also save considerable amounts of financial resources and manage to optimize software costs on an enterprise level.

Collaboration Features

Seavus Project Viewer™ also features special add-ins and integrated functionality to better facilitate project collaboration and information exchange between project managers and project participants.

The Task Update feature is a special feature that allows project team members to easily collaborate with project managers by providing them with up-to-date information regarding the project task status they are working on, in the form of updated proposal. On the other hand, project managers can keep track of all of the assignments that are finished on time, manage the feedback from employees, and keep the project plan up to date. 

The Skype for Business (previously known as Lync) also supports the project members in communication with each other while viewing the project plan.
