What you mentioned is exactly why I was drawn to <a>Project123</a>. I like the idea that clients can log in to the system and upload data. Furthermore, data is live and always up to date. As for security, I'm not 100% sure but they offer the little Authentication padlock in the corner of the browser. I'm not sure how hard it is to get one of those but only secure sites like Paypal and the likes seem to have them. I missed out on the 12 months free trial =0( but luckily they are now offering a 4 month which I've just started. I'll tell you how it goes and maybe I'll have to join Thomas and try BC.

It means that once you can loose everything when your server goes down. These guys pay more attention to security than anybody else - their income depends on it. As for Basecamp it was a love-hate relationship for me, but I desided to go for another tool after all. <a href="http://www.wrike.com" rel="nofollow">Wrike</a> works better for me.

I know there are quite a few people out there who don't like Basecamp but so far it meets my companies needs and its not too pricy. However, what really sold me on Basecamp was the fact that I didn't need to install any third party software on my computer and my clients didn't need to install anything either. Basecamp is web based. Which also means that all of my information is stored on a third parties server. I guess that can be a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it. If my hard drive gives out or something unforeseeable happens to my computer all of my information is in another location. But if you are big on privacy having all of your information on a third party server probably wouldn't be a good idea. (Not saying that Basecamp isn't secure but there is still a chance of a third party sneaking a peak.) In the end its all about the companies needs and your preference.

Yes do give us an update to your experience with Basecamp. I'm currently looking for a project management program as well. Could you tell me what swayed your company towards Basecamp? Obviously not the website...but maybe their list of satisfied users?? I'm very interested in Project123 and GantProject which runs on Mac. Project123 seems to have very good features in their 'base' model. Did you consider any of the above? Look forward to reading more. Cathryn Hi Thomas.

I don't know ROR but certainly i would like to learn it in future. Actually I liked it more when someone in my area told me to learn ROR for his projects. But due to some complications & constraints,I rejected the proposal. I am more interested in programming right now than web development. Right now, I am learning .Net due to some business & professional reasons. An 18 year old kid has done a nice job :) well,i must say a cool site within 3 days.
