DecisionEdge Portal provides decision makers with the concise information they need, when they need it. Each user can be given limited access to just their respective reports and dashboards. The streamlined DecisionEdge Portal interface is easy to use and is designed for all levels of project and enterprise stakeholders.

The same DecisionEdge charts and reports available in DecisionEdge on the desktop are available in DecisionEdge Portal. Not just static pictures, each chart and report can be filtered, customized, and scrolled through to focus on specific areas or issues.

While DecisionEdge already features over 100 standard charts and reports, custom charts and reports can also be added to address specific visibility requirements. Create exception reports, stoplight charts, tripwire reports, and combine them all into dashboards. These can be developed using DecisionEdge Designer or with the help of DecisionEdge consultants.

DecisionEdge provides a complete business intelligence solution for Microsoft Office Project featuring software, training, and custom chart and report design services. Enhance your Enteprise Project Management implementation with the charts and reports managers need for better business decisions.

Project Intelligence Data Flow
After reviewing their projects in Microsoft Office Project, project managers are ready to publish their updated projects to the DecisionEdge Data Warehouse. These can be any combination of single projects from stand-alone files, master projects with embedded subprojects, or projects stored in Project Server. Managers simply click the DecisionEdge Publisher toolbar button in Microsoft Office Project to publish the updated project data. DecisionEdge also collects and publishes time-phased spread data, providing the DecisionEdge Data Warehouse with detailed period-by-period data as calculated by Microsoft Office Project.

The DecisionEdge Data Warehouse consolidates published data from all project managers and can contain information about your organization’s entire project portfolio. It features “per period” spread data about resources, costs, and earned value, providing time-phased charts and reports created with the exact same algorithms used in Microsoft Office Project.

The Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server accesses data from the DecisionEdge Data Warehouse and makes the charts and reports available as Web Parts in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Managers and stakeholders then point their Internet Explorer web browsers to the project website, where they can open and interact with charts and reports for better project insight.
