Project Management and Planning

Vantagepoint enables you to proactively manage and deliver successful projects. The Projects hub is your command center: it places your projects and clients at the center of your business so you can manage all aspects of your portfolio of projects from a single area.

Vantagepoint delivers complete visibility into every aspect of your project in one central Projects hub from initial pursuit through closeout. You can monitor project performance to avoid schedule and cost overruns; identify potential risks and make adjustments; collaborate across the entire project team; expedite invoices and deliver successful projects.

In the Projects hub, which is a component of the Accounting module, you can do the following:
  • Enter and manage the basic information for each of your enterprise's projects, including projects that you are pursuing but have not yet won.
  • Enter service estimates, budgets, and contract information.
  • Select the right people for the right projects based on availability, skills, and experience to minimize burnout and deliver successful results.
  • Enter planning information for labor, units, expenses, and consultants.
  • Forecast revenue.
  • Establish billing terms.
  • Review, approve, and track client invoices.
  • Evaluate actual performance against project plans, contracts, and budgets.
  • Collaborate with your project teams through conversations, tasks, shared files, and events to ensure you are delivering projects on time and on budget
  • Get the right information in front of the right people and react quickly to correct issues and accommodate project challenges before they have a material impact on project profitability.
To support optimal project management, the Projects hub is fully integrated with other Vantagepoint applications, including the other hubs, Timesheet, Expense Report, Interactive Billing, Transaction Entry applications, and Reporting.
