Welcome to Deltek Acumen Touchstone

Acumen Touchstone provides a single, centralized repository for storing and evaluating project schedules and updates where reviews, approvals, and updates happen automatically.

When contractors and internal project teams submit monthly schedules, the reviewer first looks at the schedule quality. For example, did the user fix the missing relationships that were incorrect last month? If not, they may have to send the user a note reminding them again to fix the issue. Reviewing schedule quality for each submitted schedule is a time-consuming process. In addition, reviewers may have different interpretations of the criteria which leads to data and reporting inconsistencies.

With Touchstone, requirements and criteria are automatically and consistently enforced. This allows all project stakeholders to work from the same set of criteria which saves time, enforces schedule quality rules, and provides unprecedented project insight.

You can customize quantitative and qualitative measures (metrics) to fit your individual projects. For example, a construction company that builds bridges, schools, and roads may have a different set of metrics for each type of project.
