Real-Time Insight Into Project Performance
Adeaca Project Business Automation™ (PBA) brings company leaders the real-time project insight they need to transform their companies into high-performing enterprises in their industry.
Controlled processes yield reliable metrics
For project-driven organizations, the single most important objective is the successful and profitable delivery of projects. This requires close management of a wide range of KPIs across business regions and project portfolios, and it demands a high degree of visibility into real-time status at any level.
Holistic Project View
To generate meaningful project analytics, you need to incorporate operational as well as financial performance indicators. Unlike most mainstream project and ERP solutions, Adeaca PBA lets you manage project financials as well as project operations within a single solution, providing holistic project intelligence in real time.
Reporting hierarchies
The built-in reporting hierarchies allow you to easily identify potential problem areas at enterprise or portfolio level and subsequently drill down into projects and planning structures to identify root causes. All metrics originate from a single integrated solution, are governed by enforceable best practices and backed by a full audit trail, resulting in reliable and actionable KPIs.
Trends and benchmarks
Raw KPIs aside, Adeaca PBA also provides the tools required to identify performance trends and benchmark your performance against company goals and industry standards.

Early Detection Prevents Escalation
In the world of projects, it is not what you know but when you know it that really matters. What senior management needs, but rarely has, is a way to easily and instantly recognize changing conditions and risks. Slight but accelerating budget overruns, minor but multiplying issues, or early erosion of scheduled slack are a few of the many common problems in the project life cycle, and all are challenges that can be resolved by timely detection and intervention.
Adeaca PBA™ does all the data mining for you and ensures warning signs are flagged immediately and well before they deteriorate and significantly impact project performance.
