TPAssist 2007 Q&A - Gyronix Results Manager
Question:
I'd be interested to hear if you have a case as to why I should buy tpassist and not result manager, for the purpose of task management, using mindmanager, and outlook.
Answer:
In comparing TPAssist 2007 and Gyronix Results Manager, it is true to say that they share some functionality and in parts can be used to the implement productivity enabling methodologies, however since they also provide different functionality it may be more worth while reviewing both and seeing where the unique capabilities of each can be of use.
If we were to look for specifics, we would suggest the main functional comparison is with-in TPAssist 2007's Tree Summarisation capability. In Gyronix's own words, "ResultsManager from Gyronix scans all your project maps and generates insightful dashboards, helping you to take action and manage priorities." This is similar to the Tree Summarising feature of TPAssist 2007.
Outside that, TPAssist 2007 is more oriented towards working within and tightly integrated with your task mind maps rather than just from a bird-eye view.
You can see the Tree Summarisation feature in action towards the later stage of the Feature 1 video. Or read about it in the bottom half of the Feature outline page.
We will be demonstrating these capabilities in our "First Steps" web seminar. The video of the seminar is due to be released at the end of November. See our home page for details.

TPAssist 2007 Q&A - GTD (Getting Things Done from David Allen)
Question:
The CEO of the company is using GTD (Getting Things Done from David Allen) in conjunction with MindManager 7.0.
If your product is installed are there any known software or operational conflicts with the above packages all working together?
Answer:
TPAssist 2007 lends its self very well to the GTD methodology. We have tested our Add-in alongside the GTD Outlook add-in from NetCentrics and it works well. The TPAssist 2007 "7 Day Horizon" summarisation report provides a 7 day view of outstanding activities and can be used successfully in conjunction with GTD methodology and other tools.
We will be demonstrating these capabilities in our "First Steps" web seminar. The video of the seminar is due to be released at the end of November. See our home page for details.
