For any company who considers projects a vital component of their business, optimizing resources across project portfolios, driving efficiency across multiple entities, and staffing projects for optimal performance and cost is key. Oftentimes, there can be multiple organizations with overlapping resource skills, all available at different times. Project-driven companies need a solution that increases resource utilization through greater visibility and accurate management of capacity against their demand.

Problems Resource Management in Adeaca PBA Solves
Poor resource management and allocation results in a major disconnect between labor budgets and schedules. Without a central management system in place, it’s difficult to discover overloads and bottlenecks. Due to a lack of visibility, underutilization eats into profitability and lowers productivity of staff. Many companies can’t plan their project demand against their resource capacity, making resource misallocation inevitable. Ultimately, overloading resources leads to overtime, underutilization, and poor project performance due to delays caused by misallocation of resources. All this results in major financial problems including lost revenue and shrinking profit margins.
