What-if Analysis

What will the impact of a new project have on resource usage and cost if you launch a new project or re-plan an existing one? Will you face conflicts or resource limitations, will you miss important deadlines? The Genius Simulator allows you to define different planning scenarios for new projects and/or existing ones so you can adjust your global plan and find the scenario that best keeps all key projects on budget and on time.

Financial Planning

The challenges of planning a project, such as balancing budgets in light of existing priorities and constraints; estimating resource requirements and forecasting costs and workload effort, do not make it an easy job.
Use Genius Inside to capture high level or detailed forecasted project budgets, including internal and external labor costs as well as all investments and expenses.
