David versus Goliath or is it Goliath versus David? .

Construction professionals are invited to a free seminar to judge for themselves whether Asta Powerproject or Microsoft Project is better for planning and managing construction projects.

The seminar, which will take place on Tuesday the 6th of March at the Hilton Hyde Park Hotel in London, will feature a live software demonstration showing how both Asta Powerproject and Microsoft Project are used to create, manage and control projects, directly comparing the two systems.

Whilst Microsoft Project is widely used in many different industry sectors throughout the world, Asta Powerproject is 100% designed for the construction market and is the market leader in the UK.

A recent industry survey* found that Asta Powerproject is the most popular project management software tool for UK main contractors, with almost two-third (64%) of contractors citing Asta Powerproject as the project management software they most frequently use against 9% for Microsoft Project.

The seminar will demonstrate the top 10 reasons why Asta Powerproject is preferred to Microsoft Project when it comes to managing construction projects, which include:.

* Better protection against delay events - with progress recording and baselining features that make it possible to produce an accurate 'as built' record.

* Clear presentation of project plans - making it easier to communicate progress to clients.

* A wide variety of ways of sharing plans - with features that include built-in data exchange with Microsoft Project and Primavera as well as a free project viewer, Asta Project Viewer, that enables anyone to view, navigate and print out Asta Powerproject projects without purchasing the software.

Seminar guest speaker, Warren Alani, Planning Manager at Pettifer Construction, said: "I have used both Asta Powerproject and Microsoft Project on a range of different construction projects and my preference is definitely for Asta Powerproject".

"When it comes to scheduling projects, Asta Powerproject is so much easier to use plus it has the powerful features that are essential for construction projects.
