Augmenting the functionalities of Microsoft PPM, Matan has developed a line of add-on tools—MasterLink, Project Bulk Editor, Health Check, and Critical Chain to enhance project management, provide more insights to the projects and most important minimize the risks. MasterLink, Matan's most advanced add-on, enables companies to successfully manage complex and scalable projects.

MasterLink’s key value proposition includes easy and intelligent control of integrative projects by monitoring links and performing inter-project integration in realtime. It provides an online view of changes and alerts when there is a miss-match between connected projects.
