Project Insight with Power BI Reporting and Visualization in a Generation 3 Project Business System

If you’re managing your project business in different systems, chances are you’re deploying a massive amount of resources to consolidate and integrate that data to provide meaningful, actionable information. This means a major increase in time and money to do this, or it simply doesn’t get done.

The manual integration required to gather data from multiple standalone project intelligence applications often results in misinformation and bad data. Visibility into the real-time status of projects at any level is impossible making it difficult to manage a wide range of KPIs across business regions and project portfolios. The lack of access to critical information at the right time means projects get delivered late and over budget.

When it comes to projects, it’s not what you know, but when you know it that matters. Senior management rarely have a way to recognize changing conditions and risks easily and instantly, making it difficult to take mitigating action.
