DecisionEdge Provides Enterprise Cost and Earned Value Management Earned Value Manager has multiple value-added elements to provide extraordinary resource depth where tracking oversights exist. There is a wide array of support functions from an enterprise level, including project performance, contract changes, estimated and actual budget analysis, common repository, and expected planning information. Cost Management - The primary function of Earned Value Manager is to manage complex rate scenarios over user-defined fiscal periods. The software supports the creation of unlimited rate tables and resource, overhead, and burden categories. Managing individual or groupings of rate categories is easily done using the Rate Factoring screen. The user can easily create the rate formulas for each overhead type and assign them appropriately. Once the rates and organizations have been defined, users can easily build the budget or forecast information using Earned Value Manager. Earned Value - Earned value builds on the cost management analysis of the initial budget baseline and creates multiple forecast budgets. Weekly or monthly earned value calculations are also performed by Earned Value Manager. Measurement techniques are used to calculate earned value through level of effort, percent/units complete, and customizable discrete values. The period status is directly imported from Microsoft Office Project or can be assigned through an easy spreadsheet interface. Planned or performed work analyses can be constructed from the imported schedule and financial information.
