You’ve hit the nail on the head - there is no “one size fits all” tool that does everything we need just the way we need it.

We have managed to avoid double-entry, though. The truth about client contact info lives in Salesforce, and DotProject muckles onto it. Time spent on projects gets entered into DotProject, and Salesforce syncs with that for reporting. Basecamp doesn’t integrate with anything, and is used more for tracking ephemeral stuff that doesn’t need to be recorded long-term.

great entry - it is actually very useful to hear how others make best use of tools to get organized and connected.

With all those different project/planning tools, I was wondering if you’ve put in place integration between them, (ie basecamp, dotproject and SF) or whether users just flip between them with some inevitable double-entry.

We’ve been having the discussion here about how many tools it takes to manage time & projects!

thanks
Jenny
