Email Resources

Hi,

I am busy with a project in Microsoft Project 2010 and am assigning resources in the form of people. These people are sub contracted and I wish to send them an automatic email of the tasks outlined in Project 2010 that they are responsible for. IE The deigner needsto complete a said Layout by X date and the task is outlined in Project 2010 but I want the system to send that task to him at a preset date with the information and duration.

Is this possible.
Thanks in Advance

Can this sub contracted people access your intranet or extranet?

If yes, you can use Project Server 2010 or SharePoint Foundation 2010 to publish the task assignments from Project Professional 2010.  Are these options available to you?

I have access to that software, is it worth it though to install Project Server 2010 specifically for this purpose only. The project requires that many various departments and sub contractors over a fairly lengthy period be used, so should Project Server 2010 be a solution then I will implement it.

What steps should be taken or could you direct me to an online resource with the steps needed?

Thanks

Hi leopolde and Thomas,

I am going to go ahead with the installation of Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as this is very useful moving forward for other activities and business related functions.

Thank you for the assistance I have begun the process and am implementing SharePoint Foundation 2010 as we speak,

Sounds good to me.. most important thing is that you have a practical solution for your tasks and future business.

best regards

Thomas
