5 Reasons Why You Should Try PREVU Smart Project Portfolio Management Solution

10/13/2016

For my next installment in the “5 Reasons Why...” series, I'd like to introduce you to the PREVU® Project Portfolio Management (PPM) software solution by IniPHI LLC. PREVU® is part of the new breed of Smart PPM solutions. PREVU® is all about integrated PPM, and was recently recognized by Gartner as a 2016 Cool Vendor in SaaS PPM. The solution can leverage the processes and tools that already work for you, while giving you the ability to focus on the areas you want to grow and improve. PREVU® does not prescribe or dictate methodology, and allows you to “right-fit” PPM into your evolving project or product delivery model every step of the way.

Let's look at 5 reasons why you should check out PREVU® for your own organizational needs:

1. Sometimes, you need to walk before you run

All organizations plan, but the level of maturity around the planning process can vary. Just because you’ve outgrown your spreadsheet doesn’t mean you have to go immediately to ERP. That’s like saying you can drive a car, so you’re ready for SpaceX! Sure, it’ll get you there faster…with a 100% likelihood you’ll crash and burn. PREVU® allows you to get started now-- where you are, and get you where you need to be at the speed that makes sense for you.

Not ready for what-if scenario planning, but need to get better visibility into supply and demand of your resources? No problem! Need better skills understanding without advanced road mapping at this time? No problem! While all aspects of PPM and resource/capacity planning are supported in PREVU®, PREVU® grows and scales with you. Even better, PREVU® focuses on integrated PPM, so you can continue to use the tools that make sense for you and your organization, without having to replace everything to get improved insight on how you can do things better.

2. Most organizations are bi-modal – your software tools should be too

“One-size-fits-all” for an organization? Umm…no. It’s a common reason process and practice change can stall, especially when you’re talking portfolio and resource/capacity management. PREVU® addresses this by being extremely configurable, and refraining from strict methodology-specific practices. Statuses, project types, strategic goals, project/product/portfolio labels, workflows, costs, teams - PREVU® focuses on letting all parts of an organization define and do things the way that is best for them. Even with such tremendous flexibility, PREVU® will bring all parts together for a clear and concise view of what was the plan, why things have focus and priority, and how does performance compare to plan.

3. Implementation of support tools should take a lunchtime, NOT a lifetime

OK, OK – a little tongue-in-cheek, but there is some truth here with PREVU®. Depending on the size and needs of your organization, you can be up and running with PREVU® in as little as one week. Even with larger organizations who are highly motivated to see improvements in their planning and management practices, but need to consider integrations and workflow, the PREVU® team prides itself on getting you there in 60 days or less! Like I stated above, it’s about operating at the speed that makes sense for you. Further, since PREVU® is SaaS-based hosted in a secure cloud, there’s no hardware or software for you to deploy and maintain. That’s a huge plus in today’s world of on-demand applications!

4. Computers are here to help you make Smart decisions. Does yours?

With PREVU®’s advanced algorithms, data and machine learning, and use of such geeky things like game theory, decisions can be supported more easily with science than just your intuition. A simple click or two can compare your what-if scenarios to show you the most optimal plan. Road mapping for the best resource allocations across teams can be achieved in a single click! As much as this science sounds like science fiction, rest assured, PREVU® still puts you in control. Let’s face it, there will always be someone at the top saying, “I don’t care, we HAVE to do this project.” No problem, PREVU® ultimately lets you choose what to do (although you may not like the end result – lol).

5. This sounds great, but there’s no way we can afford this

Here’s one of the best parts about PREVU®: enterprise-level features at a cost even a start-up can afford. Since PREVU® is a SaaS, cloud-based solution, the pricing is a per-seat, subscription model. Not everyone in your organization will need a full seat to PREVU®, and those only needing reports, dashboards, and read-only access are always FREE. Including your customers. Add on top of this the IniPHI team. They have the experience and expertise of a corporate and compliance-savvy management team, the tenacity, agility, and passion of a Silicon Valley start-up, and the touch and finesse of a five-star resort concierge. This is a group who truly cares about their clients, and not just simply looking to install some software and move on to the next opportunity. They truly care about your organization’s success with PREVU®.

PREVU® is uniquely positioned for the transformations so many companies are undergoing, and the dynamically changing landscape of PPM. Whether you need transparent resource and capacity management, skills tracking, simple-to-use road mapping, multiple what-if scenario play, or performance tracking to plan, PREVU® delivers all these abilities through digitization, templating, smart algorithms, and advanced analytics. All from one, quick-to-implement cloud-based solution. PREVU® offers a 30-day free trial with an additional 30 days free if you sign-up for a subscription. It’s definitely worth looking into!
