I would definitely agree with using web-based project management software. I haven't used Comindwork, but he company I work for uses http://www.attask.com/topics/project-management-online. As this can be accessed from anything connected to the web, it makes project management extremely efficient.

After reading your other post "Successfully Managing Part-Time Project Resources," I would additionally vouch for this software. Part-Time employees can be hard to manage due to shift changes, knowledge base differences, and general personality differences. But with web-based PM, the various part-timers can be viewed for their work as a whole, accessible at anytime and anywhere.
