Company Information
The brainchild of Logic Software Inc, a software development company based in Toronto, Easy Projects software was developed to cater to the company’s own needs.

Easy Projects is definitely not as sophisticated as Wrike or AtTask but it does its worth well apparently.
From what I heard, it targets specifically medium size businesses, as it is coming just short of being able to serve bigger fish.
