US Classification:

705/001000

Abstract:

A system, method, and software are provided that facilitate management of work projects in a computer network operating environment that includes a management platform accessible by way of a client portal and a contractor portal. Client initiated project requests are transmitted from the client portal to the management platform and made available, through the management platform, to a preselected group of contractors by way of the contractor portal. One or more contractors then commit to performing work on the work project. The management platform sets a timetable and other parameters relating to execution of the project and sends an email to the client informing the client of contractor acceptance of the project, and also sends an email to the contractor that contains the timetable. Upon completion of the project by the contractors, the end product is transmitted to the management platform for relay to the client for review and acceptance.

US Classification:

705/001000, 705/008000

Abstract:

A system, method, and software are provided that facilitate network-based evaluation of materials prepared by a contractor for a client. The method may be implemented in connection with a computer network that includes a management platform accessible by way of contractor, client and reviewer portals. Client initiated project requests are transmitted from the client portal to the management platform and made available, through the management platform, to a preselected group of contractors by way of the contractor portal. One of the contractors then prepares materials that are provided to a client for review. The client then identifies, and solicits input from, one or more third parties concerning the contractor prepared materials. The input received in response to such solicitation is then used to inform the decision of the client as to whether to accept, modify, or reject the materials prepared on behalf of the client by the contractor.
