Software Road Map
There are a number of things we would like to do with Anduril over the

Version 2.0
-
Basic CRM - Another challenge for consultants
is having a contact information associated with clients so
the clients information can be easily found. This is meant
to be a simple tool that sales people and consultants can
use to manage custome relations. Long term the goal is to
expand it into a tool that can be used for for sales force
management.
Version 3.0
-
Shared Calendaring - One of the challenges in running a
consulting firm is having readily available the calendar of
each consultant. Our goal with this is to be able to provide
calendaring for each consultant that can be shared across
the organization. What makes this different from other
calendaring applications is the ability to make task deadlines
show up in the calendar along with a condensed list of
current tasks. Another major difference would be the
inclusion of a master calendar that shows a composite of
each consultants calendar in one view.
Version 4.0
-
Project Management Tools - It would be nice to provide
an interface for project managers. The interface would provide
tools for project planning, project status, and other reporting
tools that project managers would find spiffy.
Version 5.0
-
Knowledge Repository - Another major problem for
consulting firms is sharing knowledge between consultants.
This way one consultant can pick up where the previous
consultant left off. It would be nice if we could build a
way to capture general client and project knowledge (
for n + 1, it would be information on IP Addresses for
machines, account information, any architectural documents,
special processes set up on a system, etc) in some
hierarchical format. - This will probably be a Wiki plugin -
