ManagePro is a software solution developed by Angbert Enterprises LLC, a company based in Downey, California, specializing in software and IT consulting.
History
[edit]In 1992, Avantos Performance Systems created ManagePro, drawing inspiration from Drucker's Management by Objectives philosophy. It was dubbed as "MBA-ware" due to its focus on management software.[1]
In 1998, Performance Solutions Technology acquired ManagePro and revamped it to integrate project[2] and performance management features.[3] The new version emphasized supporting a strategic management approach rooted in Action Learning[4] principles, as outlined in David Allen's "Get Things Done", connecting day-to-day task management with broader strategic goals.[5]
Angbert Enterprises LLC acquired it once more in 2018. They're planning another overhaul, focusing on adding cross-platform capabilities and creating a genuine cloud and tablet application.
Back in 2002, ManagePro collaborated with MindJet, known for their MindManager software. This partnership allowed users to visually capture and communicate ideas and information.[6]
In 2008, ManagePro introduced a Microsoft Outlook Add-in. This tool lets users seamlessly connect emails to specific projects, tasks, or phases of their work process.[7]
Software
[edit]Available as a Windows desktop application (ManagePro(R)). It includes components for general goal and project management, strategic planning, task management, document management, scorecards, performance reviews, time cards, and WBS (Work Breakdown Structure).
