Capability - Time Capture and Resource Planning

People are the biggest part of the technology budget, and most cost tools leave them out.

The labor cost nobody else captures, from plan to capabilities. The largest spend category, ignored by every cloud tool.

Trace labor from plan to delivery across every capability and service, and understand the true cost of running and enabling IT. Viewed alongside all other costs for holistic cost and value management.

Customer outcomes

Turn your team’s time into a clear view of what they deliver.

Project time capture

Track effort across your workforce and easily attribute onto projects, services and beneficiary business units, then roll into your allocation model for true holistic total cost of ownership. No export, no integration project.

Project billing

Set project terms: budget, cost, owners, beneficiaries, status and billing methods.

Budget controls

Set project budgets in hours or amount per project, with alert thresholds, and caps on new entries once exceeded.

Beneficiary management

Several business units can co-fund each project at agreed percentages. Each funder approves its share before any work starts.

The whole workforce

See full-time employees, contractors, suppliers and outsourced teams cohesively to manage your entire workforce.

Multi-tier approval

Ability for multi-tier and alternative approvals. Automate straight through contractor payments after approval.

Resource and capacity planning

Plan resources and accurately attribute people to projects, activities and applications by month, against a budget, forecast or actual scenario.

Bring your own project tool

Bring time sheet data and allocations from an external time tool to avoid duplication and structure a single cost model covering all technology spend.

Embedded reporting

Leverage embedded Power BI and row-level security to empower teams to view and manage their resources, their costs and activity.

Questions it answers

What did this project cost all in? And is it within budget?

Which business units funded this enhancement?

Where does engineering effort go, by project, activity and role, this month and against plan?

How much of the labor on this project is capitalizable, and how much is not?

What does the platform team cost, and are they working on the right projects?

Should we move more resource onto this critical deliverable? What will suffer as a result?

What does one service cost once the people who run it are included?

Time Capture and Resource Planning brings your people into every view of cost, so service costs, allocations and investment decisions reflect the full effort behind them.

Every technology category has people behind it, from the engineers running cloud to the administrators managing software and the teams building AI platforms. Capture their effort here and every other cost view becomes complete.
