Remedy - based project / program management
The ability to effectively manage projects and project costs on an enterprise-wide basis is no longer a nice-to-have. Managers need real time access to accurate information, the ability to generate a comprehensive set of targeted reports, and the confidence that workers are using and updating their project records responsibly. And, these days, that functionality has to be web based.
Project Remedie's ActionProgram Manager (APM) is the only program management system designed to deliver all of these features within Remedy's powerful Action Request System, allowing you to leverage your experience and investment in the AR System.

Total cost management in the AR System
Managing total cost involves managing both asset cost and resource cost. Remedy's IT Infrastructure Suite, the Asset Management module enables you to track and manage asset costs. Determining resource cost is more involved.
Resources are assigned to tasks and then the time they spend on these tasks needs to be tracked. Every time entry needs to be associated with a General Ledger or cost account. Collecting these time entries in one file would make reporting and exporting to your General Ledger system simple and easy.
In an IT organization, people can be assigned tasks from different application sources. The IT Infrastructure Suite's Help Desk and Change Management applications are two of these sources. Project Remedies' ActionProgram Manager (APM) is the third necessary source, because some of the task assignments come from projects.
APM is an integrated program management, resource management, and timekeeping system that lets you bring all resource costs together. Designed for IT projects, APM is administratively light. All types of projects can be managed with APM and these projects can have as many tasks as you would like.
APM's time tracking module is robust. Time spent is entered into each task, and stored in that task as well as in the Universal Time Sheet. APM includes a "time-tracking tab" which can be easily added on to your existing AR System applications. With it, time entries can be made in these applications as well. Time entered in these applications is stored in the applications and also pushed out to the Universal Time Sheet. This makes reporting and exporting to a financial system simple and easy.
APM's time tracking functionality is bi-directional. A person can also go into the Universal Time Sheet, and add time from there. From there, a person can see each of the tasks to which he or she is assigned, and enter their time accordingly. The time is posted to the Universal Time Sheet as well as in the assigned task.
Time can also be entered for maintenance tasks as well as vacation, illness and other activities. With all of the time entered, APM could even be a feed to your Payroll system. To learn more about this incredibly powerful and cost-effective solution, please contact us. |

Tracking actual work time against tasks in one central repository and one environment
Are you tired of not being able to easily get the right information at the right time? Do your project planning and time tracking applications speak a different language or present a different format than your other key business applications? Eliminate the headaches! Adding Project Remedie's ActionProgram Manager (APM) to your AR System environment will ensure that your time tracking application integrates smoothly and easily with your other AR System applications.
Information from Help Desk, Asset Management, Change Management, and other key applications can all be fed into APM to give you a comprehensive and accurate picture of how resource time is being spent enterprise-wide. And, you will have the ability to easily generate accurate, robust reports in real time and view them from within APM with the AR System client or from a browser.

Greater service request functionality
Project Remedies' Service Manager (SM) offers additional workflow functionality that seamlessly integrates into any of the applications running in Remedy's Action Request System environment. With SM, the AR System can be used for many additional applications that require more workflow, such as moves / adds / changes, order fulfillment / provisioning, loan applications, and approval processes. With SM, the AR System can handle complex, multi-task processes involving parallel or sequential workflow. These workflow processes can be predefined or created on the fly, using SM's powerful ad hoc task capability. Because Service Manager is Remedy-based, it is adaptable and scalable to meet the unique requirements of your business.

Greater project and cost visibility
There are several important elements to be considered in increasing project and cost visibility, and Project Remedies has taken those elements into consideration in creating ActionProgram Manager (APM). To ensure that the information available is complete and accurate, Project Remedies designed APM to run in Remedy's Action Request System, allowing information from several key business applications to be shared and managed in a central data repository.
Project Remedies designed APM to be administratively light to make it easier for your workers to update their project records frequently and accurately. To get the right information into your hands, APM includes a comprehensive and robust set of charts and reports that can be accessed from within APM or from a browser. Increased visibility provides greater confidence, reduces risk, and increases project predictability. To learn more about this incredibly powerful and cost-effective solution, please contact us. |

Quality improvement and cost reduction
To improve quality and reduce costs, both the workflow process and the work performed by different people or teams need to be tracked and analyzed. ActionProgram Manager includes numbers of features to this end. Templates are management's approved processes for different functions. Of course, the only way to know if your people are performing these processes the way you want them to is to divide the processes into tasks, assign the tasks to individuals or teams, and then to track their performance against the tasks. (If you do this at a project level, you loose the granularity necessary to really know where the people need additional training or where the process can be improved).
In APM, templates can be defined. You can even define templates for segments of projects and then combine the segments for a more unique project plan. This functionality allows you to learn from past experiences and develop best practices toward quality control. Improved quality and more efficient, effective project planning ultimately results in a greater project success ration and reduced costs.

Resource management functionality
Effective resource management is critical to business success and a healthy bottom line. To that end, it is important to have a system that provides current and comprehensive information on your human resources, their skills, location, commitments, and availability. And, your system must be easy to use so that it can be maintained with minimal work.
Project Remedies' ActionProgram Manager (APM) offers those features and more, and it runs within Remedy's Action Request System, making it scalable and flexible to your business requirements. APM offers resource management reports, including the Resource Utilization report, the Resource Requirements Forecast report, and the User Task Assignment report, each of which can be accessed from within APM or from a browser. You'll have easy access to the right information about the right people at the right time, all in an environment you already have.

Order provisioning functionality
Since the Action Request System is such a powerful development environment, it makes sense to use it for all types of tracking and workflow applications. Order provisioning is an excellent example. Improving customer service levels is always a goal, and being able to tell your customer the status of their order is critical in this relationship. To do this, tracking each step in the fulfillment process of each order makes a great deal of sense.
The Action Request System, supplemented with Service Manager functionality, is a perfect platform for this type of application. . With SM, the AR System can handle complex, multi-task processes involving parallel or sequential workflow. Workflow processes (templates) can be predefined. Processes can be customized on the fly with SM's powerful ad hoc task capability. Because Service Manager is Remedy-based, it is adaptable and scalable to meet the unique requirements of your business.
