Information systems are considered essential for project managers, being of great support to planning, organizing, controlling, reporting and taking decisions. The purpose of this paper is to describe the positive effect of using web technologies on the development of project management software tools and the impact of this software on individual and organizational levels. Therefore, a project management information system based on a client-server architecture is implemented and described. The system uses Java Web Technologies, as servlets and JSP, on the server part and JavaScript scripting language to provide enhanced user interface and dynamic web pages on the client part. This project management information system is meant to provide managers with the decision-making support needed in planning, organizing, and controlling projects. Advantages obtained from project management information systems use are not limited to individual performance but also include project performance. These systems have direct impact on project success, as they contribute to improving budget control and meeting project deadlines as well as fulfilling technical specifications.
