“Without (our) PSA, it took one person a week to prepare a monthly management operations report. Now it’s literally available at the press of a button…one of our services project managers calls Planview PSA his ‘cockpit’”

“Rather than looking at revenue at the end of a project when it completely finished, we could bring this upfront and actually do revenue recognition and invoicing on a milestone-by-milestone basis. A huge transformation from a business perspective. We were able to improve our overall forecasting capabilities to a 90- day window as opposed to a 5-week window that we had previously!”
