EnterPlicity has a number of features and related benefits to help organization get better and improve their competitiveness through project management software.
Portfolio Management
Portfolios allow organizations to manage their projects more strategically. Organizations can report on portfolios of projects (such as schedule and cost information across the portfolio), setup standard security, and manage projects based on the organizational structure and strategy.
EnterPlicity enables organizations to manage a flat list of portfolios or a 3-tiered hierarchy of portfolios for larger or more complex organizations.
Work Breakdown Structure
Many organizations go straight to project scheduling when they do their project planning. By doing so, they miss the benefits of breaking down the work in a work breakdown structure. This can cause problems such as missing work that has to be done resulting in schedule delays and cost overruns.
EnterPlicity provides a built-in, web-based work breakdown structure. This provides organizations with a graphical, drag and drop tool to create a work breakdown structure as well as a visual tool that simply makes it easier to create tasks and visualize the project differently.
Gantt View
Project scheduling is a core function that many organizations perform. EnterPlicity's Gantt View provides a web-based tool for anyone to schedule projects in an environment that utilizes AJAX technology to enable quick data entry in a web environment.
More importantly, EnterPlicity's Gantt View gives users the option of simply entering tasks and scheduled dates, or utilizing more advanced scheduling functions such as dependencies, constraints, and lead/lag times. The Gantt View's AJAX functions enable working without waiting for entire page refreshes and other visual elements such as dynamically resizing column sizes.
Resource Management
Resources are a critical part of an organization's project management functions. Organizations struggle with too much work and not enough resources, projecting future resource needs, managing actual resource costs, and other problems.
EnterPlicity provides organizations with centralized information to help with these problems. These include the ability to view resource utilization over different time periods, predict resource availability, enter variable resource effort on tasks, and more. In addition, assign various resource rates based on projects and effective dates to automate the process of calculating estimated and actual resource costs.
Time Tracking
Many organizations need more capable functionality that allows them to better identify and manage the time that resources are spending on projects.
EnterPlicity provides timesheet functionality and related reporting to track and report on actual time spent on projects.
Cost Tracking
Does your organization have trouble tracking cost information with enough sophistication but without too much complexity?
EnterPlicity's cost management functions enable the managing of estimated and actual resource cost information by applying various resource rates to projects. It also enables the line iteming of fixed costs such as expenses, procurements, and equipment for a total picture of estimated and actual costs.
Issue Management
Once your organization gets to the point of effectively tracking and managing projects centrally, it can add Issue Tracking to increase its level of maturity in managing projects.
EnterPlicity's Issue Tracking enables organizations to track, manage, and report on the issues that are affecting projects for an enhanced management capability of ensuring that issues are managed in a timely fashion.
Document Management
Are your organization's project documents easily located and well managed? Many organization struggle with centralized project documentation, such as charters, contracts, statements of work, specifications, etc.
EnterPlicity's document management function enables the storing of documents with the core project management information combined with the ability to associate documents with projects and tasks, and perform check-in / check-out and version control.
Risk Management
Risks are inherent in every project. Risk Management is an important function to mitigate these inherent risks.
EnterPlicity gives organizations the opportunity to grow into risk management to further their project management maturity. Track, manage, and report on risks associated with projects and identify the risk, trigger, impact, likelihood, mitigation plan, and more.
Customized Views
Organizations are very different with different needs, strategies, and problems. A one-size-fits-all approach simply will not work.
Customizable views are provided by EnterPlicity so that members of an organization can view the information that is relevant and important to them.
Reporting
Reporting is one of the primary benefits of a centralized project management system, and the reason many organizations implement one. The inability to report on projects and project data is a primary problem that most organizations face to make better decisions and deliver successful projects.
EnterPlicity provides a flexible reporting engine that enables organizations to create as many of their own reports as necessary. Reports can be created with different formats on different data and with different options (fields, order, sorting, grouping, filtering, and more). This enables organizations to benefit from the centralized project information to extract timely, relevant information to make better decisions.
