	"I really like the way you can access your work items from within Outlook. I like the way you can bring up the full work item forms, make edits, and save immediately to TFS. It was great to create new meeting requests or mail messages from the work items." Lori Lamkin Product Unit Manager for Team Foundation Server at Microsoft "These types of products are important to the industry." Joel Semeniuk CEO and co-founder of ImagiNET Resources Corp. "I know of a good number of companies that will love having something like this - getting their timesheet management into TFS (so it can be reported on, especially) will make life a lot easier for them." James Manning Software Design Engineer for Visual Studio project at Microsoft "I also like the idea of being able to link workitems to e-mails and meetings. I also like that it provides non-technical users the option of working with TFS in a more familiar environment. Congratulations to TeamExpand on the release!" Jason Barile Principal Test Manager for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server at Microsoft "TX Chrono, by TeamExpand, allows users to easily track how they are spending their time, store that information in TFS, and make it available for reporting in the warehouse."

Five Reasons to Choose VSTS

The primary goal of any automation system is decreasing costs associated with the human labor. Visual Studio Team System is aimed to the same purpose. The main factors of achieving the goal are

1. Easy of Use.

VSTS allows developers manage all project-related artifacts from a single location. It easy to both create and access documents and source code. There is also no need for additional connectors or multiple data entry.

2. Standartization of workflow.

VSTS offers a number of pre-designed, customizable software development processes designed by Microsoft and others for deployment at your organization.

3. Support, maturity and stability.

Designed and supported by Microsoft, VSTS is reasonably priced and provides a solid set of capabilities for small and mid-size software development organizations.

4. Reporting.

VSTS stores all project-related information in a single database making reporting and metrics become easy. 

Advanced reporting allows team members measure and manage metrics across project and team performance, software quality. Custom reports can be made using MS SQL Server or even MS Excel.

5. Integration with Visual Studio.

Everyone knows how high the resistance of employees to new automation systems is. Team System is based on the Visual Studio- the most widely spread tool for code development. Introduction of the system to the programmers is proven to be very smooth and pain-free.
