eTimeMachine Enterprisetm works hand-in-glove with Microsoft® Project & Primavera® to extend and blend project management systems into the enterprise. By integrating its leading edge resource and work management functionality with other 3rd party best-in-class systems including project management, financial (Oracle® Applications, SAP®, JD Edwards® Microsoft GreatPlains etc…), HR, payroll, product lifecycle management, document management and Action Request/Service Desk System (Magic® Service Desk & Remedy® ARS), eTimeMachine creates cohesive enterprise environments that allow companies to manage resources, cost & performance across all projects, corporate activities (project & non-project) and functional business lines.
eTimeMachine Enterprise™ offers great assistance to companies operating within a multi project management platform environment (MS Project & Primavera). Resource, cost and project data are consolidated across both Project Management tools to provide management with a complete enterprise - wide view of the current health of the organization and it projects.
How does the solution work?
eTimeMachine Enterprisetm pulls assigned activities from MS Project, Primavera and Action Request/Service Desk Applications into its database; combines them with eTimeMachine’s activities and then delivers the activities to the assigned employee/work group/role via the eTimeMachine Workspace™ for work execution.
Within their own personalized workspace, the employees report time, expense, progress, remaining hours, issues etc… against all their assigned activities. All data entered via the workspace is validated through eTimeMachine’s matrix based approval workflow, stored within the system’s centralized data repository and then sent to the respective project management financial, HR and payroll systems.
eTimeMachine’s workspace operates on a transactional based back-end, allowing the system to collect, validate and store each employee's entry of time and progress to provide immediate time-phased earned value, cost, time and budget data by any defined period and at every level of the organization and enterprise project structure.
By centralizing all project, resource and work activity data into one database, project and functional managers are provided with a complete view of resource utilization and availability for more effective resource management, capacity planning and project execution.
eTimeMachine’s elaborate web reporting tools (several standard reports, eTimeMachine Pathfinder™- data mining/OLAP and an enterprise dashboard) delves into the system’s core to present executives with complete metrics against key performance indicators for faster and better strategic decision making.
