Top Ten Benefits of using the Atlantic Global Project Planning Functionality

One of the most common issues facing a business today is the ensuring the project planning process is effective and consistent. Atlantic Global’s project planning functionality not only provides a disciplined approach to managing projects, the solution enables you to quickly and easily create project plans, update actuals and carry out a full project progress review.

The system is fully integrated into the resource scheduling functionality, so mapping resources to role based task and assignment requests is quick and easy. Comprehensive reporting on financial and delivery status of projects provides managers with efficient access to project progress information.

By using cost and charge rates associated with resources or roles allocated to project tasks, the Atlantic Global Solution enables project managers to easily forecast future cost and revenues. When used in conjunction with the timesheet functionality, project budgets can be automatically generated from project tasks enabling project managers and executives to have tighter project cost control by tracking what was budgets, versus planned, versus actuals.
