As a business intelligence tool, ProjectPartner offers unrivaled flexibility. Aside from its strengths in project management and time recording, there’s a very capable analytics module with both visual and tabular reporting. And for customers looking to introduce any of ProjectPartner’s functions into an existing business environment, it complements a range of leading products to provide greater value.
We know that many business already use a number of software products to manage projects, monitor costs, record productivity, invoice customers, chart performance and more. Often, considerable investment – in human terms, as well as financial – has been made to get these tools working just right.
We’re certainly not asking customers to abandon what works. ProjectPartner complements many leading specialist products, and works with a number of more generic platforms, to integrate the processes and measurements that form the backbone of effective analysis.
In fact, adding ProjectPartner to your business intelligence arsenal can help you get more out of these other tools. By referencing a ProjectPartner account as a common data source, your measurement and analysis can work in synergy, creating a seamless information flow throughout your organization – all the way to the all-important bottom line.
We like to think of ProjectPartner as a business intelligence “babelfish”, translating data so it can be more easily shared between otherwise separate systems.
A huge benefit of ProjectPartner’s simple subscription licensing is that business intelligence can easily be made available to anyone in your organization. While the professional number-crunchers might continue to use niche specialist analysis tools, your project managers and team leaders can query the same data to produce more tactile reporting and forecasting directly within ProjectPartner.
Your users will engage easily with the inviting usability of ProjectPartner’s interactive Dashboards and Reports. The Analytics module – and, indeed, the entire ProjectPartner suite – has been designed to enable more flexible analysis. It offers multiple perspectives on the same data and drill-down into detail available in a welcoming format which is easy to share with colleagues by email or within external documents such as presentations and spreadsheets.
For up-to-the-minute status information in meetings or on the road, nothing beats ProjectPartner’s extensive built-in Dashboards and Reports.
With your notebook or web-enabled tablet or smartphone, you can call up the latest profitability figures or project budget vs actual forecasts – anytime, anywhere – using either ProjectPartner’s included Analysis module or your favorite deep analysis application such as Crystal Reports.
Many people involved in business intelligence analysis have the rare gift of being able to produce meaningful pivot tables. ProjectPartner includes several downloadable Microsoft’s Web Query (.iqy) templates, which you can use as dynamic queries within Excel to create your own custom reporting which incorporate the latest data in real time.
Or, for advanced analysis-loving customers using ProjectPartner On Premise, direct access to the core data files on your server allows even more flexibility in spreadsheet-based reporting.
