It might require a more traditional desktop application like Merlin or FastTrack Pro; one that can easily show the all the projects one resource is required across all projects. I use Merlin for that type of project management and then publish that data to the web. The unfortunate things is that function was formerly built into the app, but is now a 95 euro/$120 add-on.

We are just implementing Active Collab, but find it lacking for Studio resource time allocation across all projects. Do you have any experience with any software that gives you the "all projects" view of resources (design, copy, dev, etc) so that it can schedule the resources of multiple projects, not just one at a time with no relation to each other. Eg: My lead dev has to work across 10 projects. I need a system to allocate his time across the jobs... and not do this manually. Thanks Jay Hi
