The VIP LMS™ is also VIP's Project E-Learning deployment platform. The application also contains VIP's tool for on-line E-Learning training conversion and training development materials.

• VIP Custom Project Dashboard -VIP's project management methodology allows Project Managers and team members to view their project progress.

Build Project Plans from Best Practice Methodologies

Rather than starting from scratch, project managers can build project plans from pre-defined methodologies created in MS Project. Answering project profile questions defined by the VIP Tool Box™ methodology automatically creates key tasks and milestones or a complete WBS, including deliverables and recommendations defined from the organization's best practice methods.

Track and Analyze Time

VIP Tool Box™ allows enterprises to track and analyze costs for the work people do and determine the estimated time to completion. Timesheet functionality enables individuals to record time and resource usage on the projects to which they are assigned. Once a timesheet is submitted, users with time approval rights can review the timesheet for accuracy and completeness before approving it.
