Microsoft Corp.'s Project, long known as essentially a desktop productivity tool, will make its debut next month as a full-fledged corporate project and resource management product suite, the company announced Tuesday at the NetWorld+Interop show in Las Vegas. [Note to editors: New information appears in bold.]

The new Project family of products, first discussed by the company late last year and detailed this week at N+I, now sports a look and feel consistent with Microsoft's Office XP product suite. But more importantly for corporate executives, it incorporates new, centralized resource allocation and monitoring functions designed to allow management of a whole portfolio of projects, according to Product Manager Charles Zaragoza.

Project now also incorporates XML (Extensible Markup Language) and SOAP ( Simple Object Application Protocol) functions, which bring the project-management application into Microsoft's .Net plan for the integration of products and applications over the Internet.
