JForce Project Management For Joomla Challenges Mainstream Systems

Graham, NC--September 1, 2010--The award winning Open Source Content Management System, Joomla!, celebrates its 5th birthday today and on the same day, JForce.com has released its full-featured project management system, JForce PM, built specifically for the same CMS. JForce brings to Joomla! all the features of the popular project management tools available on the web, but incorporated directly into a user’s Joomla! installation.

Joomla! has experienced tremendous growth throughout its 5 year life and is currently utilized on millions of websites around the globe. For example, there are currently over 5,339 extensions exist for the Joomla! CMS. With recent approval from the Joomla! Extension Directory, JForce PM is positioned to become one of the staples of any business-centered Joomla! website.

WebSpark Inc., the parent company of JForce, began the process of creating a project management tool several years ago when the owner, David Hurley, found he needed a system for managing the projects of his web design and development company. As clients began to interact with this project management tool they began to request it implemented on their sites. Hurley decided to release a version of the system under the name JForce as an extension that any Joomla! website could install and use.

When asked about the process of creating JForce PM as a publicly available extension, David said,”Building a user-friendly project and task management component for Joomla proved to be a time-intensive job requiring months of full-time development and coding. But the finished product is one that we at WebSpark are extremely proud to release and support."

JForce is available on the website http://www.jforce.com/ in several different versions. A community version of the software is available free of charge and under the GNU/GPL license type that Joomla! is founded. This Community version provides a way for JForce to ‘give back’ to the Open Source Community. The JForce Professional version offers advanced features including: quoting and invoicing, dedicated support, customizable access roles, and file attachments. At $24/month JForce Professional has a low monthly cost without project or user restrictions. More details regarding version comparisons can be found on their website at http://www.jforce.com/get-started.html.

The JForce PM system challenges the likes of BaseCamp and ActiveCollab by offering more features while still maintaining a degree of simplicity and a user-friendly interface. Unlike other project management systems, JForce is installed directly on the user’s Joomla! site and without any project limitations. Not backing down from the challenge of competing with other systems, JForce boldly shows exactly how it compares to other project management tools directly on their site at http://www.jforce.com/compare-us-to-others.html.

Initial response from users regarding this new Joomla! project management tool have been positive and strong. “I have to manage over 100 clients during a government application process that has many tasks. JForce handled it perfectly. Being used to traditional PM packages, this one takes all of the complexity away.” says one recent JForce user.

JForce PM Design Features

JForce PM is COMING SOON!
(Have we already mentioned that? Can you tell we are excited?)

When upgrading a system, design aspects are almost always on the list of things to include. You want functionality to change deep within the code, to be better and run smoother; but nothing shouts "UPGRADE" to a front-end user like a polished, new look. Here are some items that have been updated in JForce PM. If you have any questions about the sytem or want to learn more, please email the JForce Team at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

JForce PM introduces an entirely new way of managing projects in Joomla! Below are some of the design features we've incorporated in this new component.

JForce PM

JForce PM initial development is complete! We've already started the Beta Testing process and can't wait to get feedback on the new system. We are confident that JForce PM is a stronger, more cohesive system; and we hope to have it ready for review and purchase on the site soon!

What Is JForce PM?

JForce PM is the new strictly project management software from WebSpark Inc. Approximately 95% of the standard JForce system has been rewritten in order to provide a more streamlined, cohesive system to help businesses manage their projects.

We've examined the code to make sure that the functionality is solid, so that your experience with the system will be a positive, efficient use of your time.

Access restrictions have been completely rewritten to be more straightforward. We've rewritten all the queries and we've implemented a new design to make the system as a whole flow more smoothly. There were some features that were causing more problems than they were worth, so we eliminated them; and we added new features to make sure that we are providing a robust system that is relevant to today's business needs.

The system will still have the support ticket section, but now we've built in email functionality along with it, so that you can create ticketing in the system from your email account! You will also be able to add discussions to the system from your email account!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! So, stay connected with our progress! Sign up for the Newsletter and follow us on Twitter! If you've got questions, we are available at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

 
 
Site Construction

WARNING: the site is under construction!

We are working on some massive updates to the JForce system - it is an overhaul, in fact. Because of that, we've been making some adjustments to the site as well. At the moment, the purchase functionality has been suspended. Relax - it isn't a permanent change. I promise, we definitely want you to purchase a membership through the site to access the best-ever project management system for Joomla!, but we really want to make sure that we've got the new system tested completely before release.

If you don't want to wait- and want your JForce access now, that is certainly not a problem! We will hand it over! Send us an email via This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it letting us now that you are ready to make a purchase. You will be able to send us a direct payment via PayPal and we will send you a zip with the component and the module. Voila! And your membership to JForce begins!
