The Intervals API is due out before the end of the year. Once the API is launched, our customers will be able to hook into Basecamp and any other application of their choosing, freeing them up from the confines of a web-based project management app.

Here is some more reading on the API development:

I’ve been a rabid Basecamp user for 1.5 years. When I merged my small company with a larger one I brought Basecamp with me and we soon found out that BC is not a proper project management program. Although time tracking in BC makes sense from the production side of things it is totally unworkable from the admin/book keeping side.

The thing I value most about Basecamp is it’s collaboration. We invite clients into our BC projects and many of them love it. It’s a common workspace. Add to the fact that clients can add to the collaborative conversations by simply replying to BC emails is so effective. In other words it works with clients because it requires no effort on their part.

As far as I can see this kind of extended collaboration is not there in Intervals. Or at least not in a fluid, easy way as it is in BC. To me communication is just as important as tracking hours, tasks, milestones and budgets.

Perhaps it would benefit Intervals to look at hook into Basecamp via their API?

Just a thought.

We used Basecamp before but after 6 months or so found it quite inadequate as our own demands started to rise be it for better reporting, scheduling or even email alerts. Searching for project management solutions is a huge activity but we finally found what we were looking for in [a href="http://www.celoxis.com"]Celoxis[a]. It’s been close to a year now and we are quite satisfied.

We’re looking for a project management system with a shared writing environment like Google Docs. We write ad copy. It’s easy to use an online document that shows changes than to exchange Word files. We haven’t found a solution yet. For now, we use Basecamp and its Writeboards, but Writeboards don’t allow any formatting except by using strange codes that are dangerous to use.

You are right. Basecamp is a collaboration tool and was originally designed this way. There are companies that are happy with this solution and there are companies that search for more features and flexibility. My team chose Wrike. It was hard to choose of all the options represented on the Web, but Wrike won the contest for us.

I stumbled upon http://www.project123.com as I was looking for one of those applications that had a bit more project management grunt than that of the usual collaboration tools and I agree that that Basecamp certainly opened the door for more niche and tailored solutions.
