Software

Projector is a business application that is intended to be used by project-based organizations. Projector is considered Professional Services Automation, or PSA software. Projector is designed to help companies with project management, resource scheduling, and project accounting.

Projector is a cloud-based application[4] that allows users to access the application anywhere they have an internet connection. Projector has two main interfaces, one called the Employee Portal and a second called the Management Portal. The Employee Portal is a browser-based application that has functionality for time entry, expense entry, document management, issue tracking, and viewing schedules. The Management Portal uses Window's Smart-Client technology and is where users go to manage projects, schedule resources, run reports, create invoices, and administer the application.

Projector has a mobile web application for time and expense entry that can be accessed on most smartphones.[2]

Projector's software is sold using the Software-as-a-Service or SaaS licensing model,[5] and is being used by more than 19,000 users across 180 companies worldwide.[6]

Projector PSA runs a user group called the Projector e3 Community.[7]
