Project Insight

ADEACA Project Business Automation™ (PBA) brings leaders of project-driven companies the real-time insight they need to transform their companies into high-performing enterprises in their industry.

Controlled processes yield reliable metrics

For project-driven enterprises, the single most important objective is the successful and profitable delivery of contract delivery commitments. This requires close management of a wide range of KPIs across business regions and project portfolios and demands a high degree of visibility into real-time status at any level within the reporting hierarchy.

Holistic Project View

To generate meaningful project analytics, you need to incorporate operational as well as financial performance indicators. Unlike most mainstream ERP solutions, ADEACA PBA lets you manage project financials as well as project operations within a single solution thereby providing truly holistic project intelligence in real time.

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. Because there is no data translation or time-lapse between source transactions and visualization the intelligence is available in real-time enabling you to make timely and informed business

Enterprise Performance Index™

The ADEACA PBA Enterprise Performance Index™ (EPI) rolls up KPIs into a hierarchical index so you can always tell how your company is doing with just one number. Raw KPIs are normalized into index values and evaluated against company goals or industry standards. You can use this insight to set goals for company divisions and track progress against those goals. 

• Color codes make it easy to identify performance variances.
• Trend indicators illustrate improving or deteriorating indexes by analyzing your performance over time. 
• Drill down to portfolio and portfolio group levels.

Built-in KPIs

With more than 50 predefined project KPIs, ADEACA PBA provides a real-time holistic overview of project financial and operational processes.

Measure Anything

Budgets Actuals Commitments Variances Progress Productivity Margins Over/under billing & contingencies

Schedules Milestones & deadlines Pipeline Cash-flow Capacities Risks & issues

Portfolio Analytics

Based on user-defined reporting hierarchies, portfolio analytics provide an overview of project and portfolio performance with drill-down capabilities from portfolio groups and portfolios to projects and into planning structures (CBS & WBS). Project KPIs are seamlessly consolidated in a range of project business dashboards including graphical representations of core metrics via traffic light sensor points, bubble charts and other graphic controls.

Sensor Points™

ADEACA PBA's Sensor Points™ are used across financial and operational disciplines to automatically monitor project events, flagging deviations and trends. The sensor point system provides a real-time in-depth view of potential problem areas without having to manually data mine the project.

Earned Value Analytics

Based on recorded progress indicators, actual costs and planned execution of a project, the earned value analytics framework computes schedule and cost performance indexes by deducting the delta between planned value, earned value and actual costs. EVA is computed against the cost breakdown structure with performance indexes calculated at every level.

Workspaces

Workspaces are designed to support the execution of specific tasks, for instance, month-end close, managing scope changes, or following up on project schedules. For ease of use and navigation, a workspace features a reduced menu structure and dataset pertinent to the workspace focus.

Additionally, BI artifacts highlight important project intelligence relevant to the workspace and counter tiles summarize your current workload ensuring that work items are not missed.
