AI-native project and resource management platform, Forecast, has announced the launch of a new product, ‘Advanced Analytics’ (AvA), powered by business intelligence and data analytics software, Sisense.
In a recent survey by Talend it was revealed that 73% of company executives would like to base the majority of their decisions on data, yet less than half rate ‘their ability to deliver on data accuracy, consistency, accessibility or completeness’ as ‘very good’.
Of those businesses using data analytics, a quarter of project managers described data input as the biggest ‘time waster’.
AvA addresses the need for easily accessible company data by providing ‘at a glance’ visual insights into business performance metrics like profitability and resourcing, ultimately empowering customers with intelligent insights to increase revenue, mitigate risks, decrease costs and drive efficiency and profitability across the board.
Using data intelligence to help businesses fuel growth, AvA provides tailored, customisable reports, dashboards and visualisations specific to individual commercial needs, using Forecast’s vast and accurate data as the foundation.
Through AvA, users can quickly spot inefficiencies and missed opportunities, with a clear view of insights such as which roles are under, or over-utilised, as well as or whether they are over or underestimating project plans.
Having such insights available ‘at a glance’ enables companies to take action quickly, drive up billable utilisation by hiring the right people at the right time, and balance commercial needs with resource availability. Businesses can also identify the biggest possible returns with a complete view of profitability across roles, clients, and projects.
Amalie Kaysen, VP of Product at Forecast says,
“Advanced Analytics gives our customers the power to surface the insights they need to answer critical business questions. AvA is based on robust data that lives in Forecast underpinned by proven BI technology from our partners at Sisense.”
“By connecting everything into our engine, with Advanced Analytics we are able to leverage data so that business leaders can understand questions like when they need to hire, how to increase profitability, and how to improve the success rates of their project portfolio, enabling users to identify the pain-points that are holding their business back, as well as highlighting opportunities for growth.”
Paul Scholey, VP of International at Sisense says, “It’s exciting to partner with innovative companies like Forecast that are infusing analytics with AI-powered insights to help business leaders make better, more accurate decisions at scale.”
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with such a leader in project and resource management that is revolutionising how CEOs, CFOs, COOs and Project Directors unlock the value of their data through dashboards, build their own customised reports and reap the efficiencies of real-time reporting.”
