Perforce Software has announced support for Microsoft Office Project as part of the integration between its software configuration management system and Microsoft Office. Perforce's Software Configuration Management tracks and manages source code, document and digital asset development for software production environments. The Perforce Plug-in for Microsoft Office (P4OFC) extends Perforce's SCM functionality, which includes storing and versioning files, to Microsoft Office Project, Word, Excel and PowerPoint programs.
P4OFC adds a Perforce drop-down menu to Office applications so users don't have to leave a familiar environment to bring their documents under Perforce control. P4OFC tasks include:
- Checking files in and out
- Determining which version of a document is checked out and who else is working on it
- Accessing a document's complete revision history
- Explicitly locking files
- Linking change requests with document changes
As demand for systems to manage all kinds of content continues to grow beyond the traditional bounds of the engineering department, users want access to version control from within a variety of applications. Enhancing the use of Microsoft Office Project with the power of Perforce is another step in that direction.
