| Product outline: Asta Portfolio Reporter is a web based browser tool that provides complete visibility of the status of projects, resources and costs. It is designed for those project managers and stakeholders that wish to group projects and manage them as a portfolio, rather than at a project or programme level. Once you have defined those projects you want to include in each portfolio, Asta Portfolio Reporter presents the information in a series of interactive graphs and tables. There are a number of parameters you can report on, such as dates, projects, resources and costs as well as being able to drill-down and analyse project data in more detail. A portfolio of projects is usually assessed in terms of business value and adherence to corporate strategy. Being able to compare the productivity of projects empowers managers to assess the impact of a failing project across the portfolio and pull the project if necessary. Effective portfolio management means if a project is failing to deliver, resources can be re-allocated to those projects that are delivering maximum benefits to the organisation. With Asta Portfolio Reporter you can accurately report on project margins, as well as compare performance for tighter cost controls and improved cash flow. Asta Portfolio Reporter is supplied with a series of standard portfolio management reports, including portfolio dashboard, KPI reports, critical milestone reports and cost reports. | |

Graphical histograms clearly show who is doing what, where and when making resource allocation and planning simple and effective.

Project managers have the ability to view, analyse, edit and share real-time project information with all stakeholders. Asta Teamplan provides a standardisation to the way projects are planned, managed and delivered. It replaces disparate systems and introduces proven processes that ensure work is carried out effectively and efficiently. Asta Teamplan provides accurate and reliable management information at a project, programme or portfolio level. Performance reports can clearly show the current project status in terms of time, spend and resource allocation. This in turn highlights those projects that are on track and those that are failing, enabling managers to decide on the practicalities of taking on new projects. Portfolio reporting empowers managers to pull failing projects and re-distribute project costs to those that will deliver maximum benefits. Asta Teamplan can integrate with current line of business systems. Automating core processes can improve efficiencies, reduce administration tasks and free up staff to concentrate on improving front line service delivery. | |

Submitted timesheets go through an approval process ensuring that all data is accurate before being automatically entered into the main project plan. The result is accurate, up-to-date information on a projects current status. With Asta Timesheet you can clearly see exactly what is being spent, by whom, and on which projects. Expenses can be recorded against projects to ensure project costs are accurate. Asta Timesheet can be integrated with your billing system so that invoices are automatically generated, reducing administrative workload and the invoice-to-payment cycle. | |

| Product outline: There’s more to change than technology! Success has long been equated with change, and change is now frequently driven by technology, yet many organisations still report returns on investment of less than 1% from information technology. How do you achieve value for money from your investments in change and technology? This is the universal challenge faced by organisations today, with more and more emphasis on demonstrating sustainable return on investment from change and technology. As a manager, you need to harness the full power of systems, aligned to business objectives, whilst capitalising on the value of your greatest asset – the workforce. sigma offers you a proven structured and practical approach, known as Benefit Realisation Management (BRM). Benefits of the sigma Benefit Realisation Management (BRM) approach: BRM can be applied at any level of the organisation and at any stage. Our approach can be applied to developing the vision and corporate objectives of the organisation, down to individual project objectives. Ideally applied at the outset, it can be introduced at any stage and still add value by validating or refocussing on objectives and benefits. BRM can be introduced alongside existing project and programme management methodologies (such as Prince 2 and MSP), integrating the benefit realisation approach into existing phases and activities BRM fosters widespread understanding and commitment to organisational, programme and project objectives amongst stakeholder groups BRM enables you to prioritise investment into areas that will deliver the greatest benefits BRM helps you identify the 'right' technology and business change needed to deliver benefits BRM activities actively engage stakeholders and establish ownership of benefit delivery BRM maintains the focus on benefits through all project phases and beyond to support decision making, prevent scope creep, and achieve delivery of expected benefits BRM provides an effective means of communication and reporting at both the 'big picture' level for senior management, and at the detailed level for the programme and project delivery teams. sigma’s process, which has six phases, is applied through a series of stakeholder engagements, which may include workshops, focus groups and one-to-one interviews, and can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. The approach fully supports OGC’s requirements, outlined in Managing Successful Programmes (MSP), and as reviewed through the Gateway Process. | |

| Product outline: Fed up with PM systems designed for corporates which over complicate the essentials of project management? Fed up with 'free trials' and web based systems where the vendors can change the charges once you have entered all your data? Fed up with systems which don't properly support PRINCE2™? Yes, so were we, that's why we developed PROJECT in a box. PROJECT in a box - Community Edition helps you make the transition from classroom to delivering live projects with confidence. Designed entirely with PRINCE2™ in mind the software is a fully functioning document management system which comes with full templates and a PRINCE2™ glossary. Users navigate around the software using the actual process maps from the PRINCE2™ manual making it ideal to help reinforce the methodology and to help less familiar colleagues take their first steps. PROJECT in a box - Community Edition makes a virtue of simplicity and the software isn't feature rich but what it does have is very easy to use and does a great job of supporting small teams or individuals. This helps our users do the basics well rather than confusing them with loads of features, most of which they won't use and would just get in the way. PROJECT in a box - Community Edition is free to download from the web site and isn't time limited so you can use it as long as you wish. A number of ATOs are also providing the software to delegates for use during and after training courses. Go to www.projectinabox.org.uk/community.asp#download' for a completely free download or visit our web site to see reviews and information on the rest of our product range including our new Professional Edition. | |

Well, The Mundane Software Company has a toolset that offers much more than this as it addresses the everyday problems of managing projects.
