Coordinating between people on a project in a small business setting is not only time consuming, it’s downright difficult in some situations. Some software companies have tried to come up with alternatives to the traditional collaboration tools but have always fallen short. One company that has hit the mark right on the nose is 37Signals with their product Basecamp. Their software is the ultimate project collaboration software and can help you or your small business collaborate in such a way that you will never be stuck wondering who’s assigned to what again.

Basecamp offers a variety of options of their software packages, ranging all the way from free up to their “Max” package. They offer a 30 day free trial on all of their accounts so that you can get a feel for how the Basecamp project software works. If you’re not satisfied with the way it works, there’s no pressure to sign up afterwards. Their most popular paid plan is the “Plus” package that costs about $50 a month. You get access to over 15 gigabytes of storage online as well as the ability to collaborate with unlimited users. Simply upload as many files as you want to the Basecamp servers and you’re on your way to starting a project. You also get time tracking capabilities which helps keep all of the people involved on schedule and ready to work. It’s like having a virtual boss that keeps everything organized and in check for you and your company to get things done when you need to.
