Some of the examples of the Custom Developed software add-on tools provided by EPM Solutions are shown as follows:
EPMS Report Manager: go beyond basic reporting with Microsoft EPM
The EPMS Report Manager extends the capability of the OLAP data warehouse in the Portfolio Analyzer by adding over 100 Totals and 100 new dimensions based on the Project, Resource and Task Enterprise Fields. Additionally it builds the Earned Value cube, and adds pay period, weeks, tasks, WBS, milestones, summary, and critical task dimensions. Now you can create advanced reports in the Portfolio Analyzer that could only be created with SQL Reporting Services.
Resource Synchronizer: now managing Enterprise Resource Pool is much easier
With large deployments of Project Server, resource synchronization can be a time consuming error-prone task in synchronizing new and changed resource information for other applications. This utility can easily synchronize resources with any XML exported resource information including SAP, SQL, Active Directory, Navision and others. This makes it much easier for administrators to create, update, activate, deactivate, and delete resources in the Enterprise Resource Pool.
Time Sheet Synchronizer: EPMS has created a Project Server extention to synchronize Project Server time sheets with third party accounting & time sheet applications.
Resource Multiple Fee Rates: Now each resource can have assigned multiple rates with Cost totals aggregated to reflect each rate.
Field Updater: now your Budget & Schedule variance is accurate each day
Enterprise calculated fields are only updated when project schedules are re-opened and saved. With this utility, it will daily open and save each project to update all your calculated fields. Now fields like Budget & Schedule variance will be accurate each day. This utility will also remove orphan tasks that are reported even though the task is finished or removed.
Rapid Accurate Estimating Add-on Software proved to improve accuracy in project cost and time estimation
Now with MSPRAE, you can easily recalibrate your project estimates based on your own historical task data. Applied to the user’s own task list or to a generic template, this improvement makes bottom-up estimating as rapid to use as top-down estimating. Its accuracy results from the analysis of task effort, the calibration of estimating data, and an improvement in the treatment of uncertainty.
Mobile EPM: EPM on-the-go
With your wireless phone or PDA you can access your project information anywhere you have coverage. Easily find the health of your portfolio or project, update your task progress, and manage your exceptions with issue management. This is an excellent way for the Construction, Logistic and Service industries to keep updated with their field.
Project Initiation Extention
Allows any user to create short or large projects with tasks from templates or user entry in a simple easy to use InfoPath form. You can also assign resources and fill in Project Enterprise Fields.
Task Email Notifier
Many customers have requested to be notified by email when a specific condition has occurred on a task, like if it is past due or that there has been no activity on it for a period of time. A Project Server add-in utility is proposed to create task based email notifications when a condition occurs. |
