standard vs. professional

[Andrei]

Hi Group,

We are looking into getting MS Office Project but we can't decide which
version is best for us (using a local network, not through web)
I can't find explicitly for standard and professional versions if the team
members can connect to MS Project to view and enter their informations (for
ex. how much they accomplished from a task or any comments they might have)
I checked the web site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/FX101757931033.aspx (Ms Office
Project 2007 Edition Comparison).

Thank you,

Andrei.

Andrei,

The difference between the Standard and Professional versions is the ability
to connect to the Project Server, which is required for allowing team members
to update task status, and work with other project information, through the
PWA application. Without the server your PMs will have to collect status from
the team members and manually enter each update. If you want team members to
be able to view the schedule, see a list of their individual tasks that they
can submit progress against, submit Issues, Risks and manage documents you
want to have Project Pro w/Project Server.
