Something for the Project Manager!!!
Get immediate results by producing timely and accurate Forecasts
and Work In Process reports by using Event 1 Forecast!
Ask yourself ...
Why do so many project managers use Excel to do forecasting?
: It's familiar, easy and flexible!
How does that information get into Timberline on a timely
basis?
: Accounting types it into Miscellaneous Worksheets, or it
DOESN'T get in!
What Project Managers Want
Access to up-to-date information, whenever they need it.
The ability to interact with this information and manipulate
it.
Timberline has up to date information.
Excel is familiar to them and makes manipulation easy.
Event 1 Forecast brings them together!
The Forecast Cycle
First, Forecast solicits information from Timberline AUTOMATICALLY
and displays that information in the way YOU defined.
Once this information has been retrieved from Timberline and
formatted, you can protect it (protecting the columns you
don't want to be changed).
Next, send the Excel file via email to your project managers!
Detached from Timberline, in a forum Project Managers are
most comfortable with (Excel), they provide accounting the
information needed AND create their forecasts!
When the updated spreadsheet is received by accounting, the
information from the spreadsheet can be saved in Timberline
for use with Inquiries and Reports.
