Montreal July 5, 2007 - HMS Software, a leading provider of project management and enterprise timesheet solutions, has announced the availability of an extended Webcast Library on its HMS Software Website. Access to the HMS Software Webcast Library is available at no charge.

"HMS Software personnel have produced numerous presentations in a variety of categories," explains Chris Vandersluis, President of HMS. "Until now, these presentations were available only when we would visit a client or at a trade show or seminar. Now we've begun recording these presentations as webcasts so that users around the world can benefit from them."

The HMS Webcast Library contains subjects in the following categories:

HMS Software

Extended information about HMS Software including an overview of the products and services of HMS and presentations by the company's CEO, Chris Vandersluis who is a prolific author in the project management market.

Microsoft Project

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and one of a handful of Go-To partners for Microsoft in North America, HMS and Microsoft have collaborated on a wide range of mandates.

There are also presentations here which reference the integration of TimeControl with Microsoft Project and Project Server.

Primavera

HMS has been an Alliance Partner with Primavera since 1997. TimeControl has links directly to a number of Primavera's scheduling solutions. Presentations here focus on the deployment of TimeControl with Primavera's products.

"We've had many requests for access to presentations we've done in different venues. When the Webcast Library was created, we thought of it only as a place to promote our software," Julie Benard from the HMS Marketing departement explains. "With extending the library with additional titles and categories, we see this as a center of excellence for the use of enterprise timesheet and enterprise project management tools."

HMS expects to expand the Webcast Library over the coming months as webcasts are edited and posted.
