Whether your projects are short or long, large or small, Hornet 7.2 enables you to make plans easily, test feasibility, monitor progress, control budgets and - most important of all - get the best use out of your valued resources. In short, Hornet Windmill 7.2 is the ideal tool to help you and your organisation make sound decisions based on clear relevant and up-to-date information.

What makes any system intuitive in use depends on two factors

• the previous experience of the user
• consistency within the application.

Hornet Windmill uses industry standard guidelines through its operation. This offers a consistent, easy-to-use interface throughout the system which is compatible with other leading edge applications in the Windows operating environment.

This fully interactive, grid based interface offers rollup, drop-down, choice panels, scroll bars, and an extensive fully context-sensitive help system so even beginners will be able to exploit Hornet's potential rapidly.

With Hornet Windmill you have a powerful system that helps you and your organisation get the best use out of your resources.

• Quickly and easily identify which resources are required by your projects and calculate the effect that fluctuations in resource supplies will have on your project time-scale.
• Group and name resources separately - allowing consolidation and management of your manpower and costs.

In tests, Hornet's resource scheduling was unsurpassed by any other system - demonstrating that Hornet has the scheduling power and resource capabilities you can rely on.

Clear reports are the key to understanding and Hornet Windmill provides comprehensive facilities in this area with all the features you need.

• The Report Wizard automatically generates a wide range of standard reports - all you have to do is choose what you require and Hornet Windmill will prepare a final format and produce a copy for you.
• On-screen reports with preview facilities give you quick and clear access to your information as you build and review your plans.
• All views and reports are controlled by a powerful select and sort criteria which Hornet lets you save and re-use, making it easy for you to report regularly and accurately on specific areas of your projects.
• Hornet's coding facilities allow maximum flexibility for the creation and use of your own corporate standards leading to real ease of use and truly focused reporting.
• Hornet's custom reporting capability sets the standard for organisations who require customisation reports designed by you to meet your specific requirements

Hornet Windmill allows you to structure your project as you wish.

• Sub-networks can be used to subdivide a large project into distinct areas of work.
• Within the project, required activities can be selected and sorted into order and rolled up into headings, subheadings and groups, thereby making your view of a project as wide or specific as you choose.
• Layout of headings and groupings is under your control - the same project can look exactly the same or essentially different to each user giving true configurability.

With Hornet you will always know what's happening on your projects - and when.

• Quantities and costs of the resources you are using are clearly identifiable because Hornet comes complete with functionality that performs all the calculations you will ever need on your resource information.
• The costing module monitors the variation between your budget, what you've spent so far and what remains to be spent.
• Powerful facilities enable you to review and present your project data in more ways than ever before.

Hornet Windmill may stand apart but it does not stand alone. The need to exchange information freely was appreciated early in the design of Windmill and is a keystone of the package's specification.

Hornet Windmill can export information directly to its Unix stablemate, Hornet XK, so if required, you can capitalise on the power and flexibility of an SQL based Open Systems environment to reprocess your project data and to consolidate information over any number of projects. Power indeed!

Many of Hornet's features are configurable - menus, input screens, screen and printed reports. You can customise the system to suit individual or group requirements. We can also supply specially customised versions to suit your particular needs.

Hornet Windmill can provide the solution you and your organisation are looking for to enhance your project control and programme management.

We are always enthusiastic to discuss specific requirements with no obligation on your part. Our comprehensive Support and Training ensures that a decision to employ Hornet Windmill to manage your projects will help you exploit the full potential of the system to ensure your success in the future. We look forward to working with you.
