Projektron BCS

Projektron BCS goes beyond a typical PSA. Alongside projects, resources and time it includes ticketing, quotations, invoicing, CRM, expense and document management, and personnel and applicant management, which suits firms that want one system instead of a PSA plus other tools.

Projektron GmbH is registered at the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg (HRB 79669), and the company states that more than 850 companies use BCS.

Two editions

BCS is the full edition. BCS.light is a leaner version for smaller project teams that covers the work from quotation to invoicing. Both come in ten interface languages.

Cloud or on-premise

The vendor offers an on-premise licence purchase and a SaaS variant. The cloud edition is hosted exclusively in German data centres with dogado GmbH on individual virtual machines, includes four releases a year, and Projektron states an ISO 27001 certified security standard.

Methods and customization

BCS supports PRINCE2, IPMA, Scrum, Kanban and other project methods, and offers customizing and interfaces for connecting existing systems.

Limitations to Consider

The scope is wide, which means a longer setup than a lightweight tool and likely a need for consulting or training, both of which Projektron sells.

The prices on the editions page are licence purchase prices; the SaaS price for BCS is only given as 5% of the licence price per user, with no period stated, so check the exact amount with the vendor. The interface and market focus are German-speaking, so smaller communities exist elsewhere. For a quicker setup consider MOCO.

Who Should Use Projektron BCS

IT, engineering and consulting firms, especially German-speaking ones, that want project, resource, ticket and invoice functions in one system and may need on-premise operation.
