Press release November 27, 2003 - TJ Group Plc's subsidiary PlanMill Ltd has released a new version of its PSA (Professional Services Automation) software. The browser-based and scalable PlanMill PSA 8 is an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution, which makes management of personnel, projects and business processes faster and more efficient in real time.
Guiding networked professional services people to produce added value to customers more profitably is becoming a more important competitive factor in fast-changing fields, such as ICT (Information and Communications Technology). PlanMill PSA 8 is a solution developed especially to the needs of internal and external professional service organizations and IT units. It can be used to monitor personnel utilization and the profitability of organizations transparently in real time.
- A networked operating environment in which subcontracting, fixed-term and part-time employment as well as end customer’s demands on transparent and real-time project monitoring are central elements, sets new challenges to PSA software and their suppliers, says Thomas Hood, CEO of PlanMill Ltd.
PlanMill PSA 8 offers a cost-effective way to use both intranet and Internet access through secure connections. The system's centralized data repository, browser-based user-friendly interfaces, which support multiple channels (Linux, Mac and PC), and role-based access provide the end customer with new possibilities of monitoring and commenting supplier's or subcontractor's work in real time.
- Based on user feedback, the new version has more advanced functions for time reporting and planning, among others. To support networked operation, the transfer of information in PDF, XML and MS Project format has been developed further. These improvements make daily work faster than before. Additionally, along with PlanMill PSA 8, a new PlanMill Online Report Generator module with multi-channel support will be available. It can be used to significantly streamline the realization of customer-specific analysis and reporting needs on a portfolio or project level, says Christer Nordlund, Product Development Director of PlanMill Ltd.
