Optimization for Portfolio Simulator 2011!
This powerful addition to Portfolio Simulator will combine the strategic predictive analytics of simulation with the intelligence of two learning algorithms in order to optimize your project portfolio.
This will improve portfolio analysis times and help:
- Quickly identify what projects to work on and when in order to achieve strategic goals.
- Bridge the gap between:
- Top-down project selection (Based on Budgets and what projects should be executed to meet strategic goals).
AND
- Bottom-up project selection (Based on what resources are available to execute the projects)
- Automatically determine the effects of constrained resources, budgets, and time on strategic KPIs without manual experimentation on what-if scenarios.
Enterprise Portfolio Simulator:
Essentially an entire new product offering, now you can expand the accessibility of Portfolio Simulation capability throughout your entire organization with the new RIA (Rich Internet Application) version of Portfolio Simulator.
How Does it Work?
Enterprise Portfolio Simulator is based on ProModel’s powerful leading-edge simulation technology combined with a new, web-browser based approach that is 100% online accessible to team members across an organization. The Enterprise Portfolio Simulator environment connects directly to Microsoft
Project Server on a project-by-project basis that you determine, or can be populated directly through its own customizable interface without relying on another system. Merging data from Microsoft Project Server is quick and easy using a strategic roll-up feature that allows you to import detailed project files in a summarized, high-level structure, all while maintaining a link to the project plans for continual updates.
Enterprise Portfolio Simulator combined with Microsoft Project Server leads to an optimal portfolio!
Once the Enterprise Portfolio Simulator project repository is populated, comparative “what-if” scenarios can be created and run. The results can be viewed and analyzed through flexible output tables, charts, and graphs. Enterprise Portfolio Simulator integrated with Microsoft Project Server fosters a collaborative environment enabling a more dynamic, proactive, and effective approach to portfolio planning and implementation. |
