DELTEK ACUMEN LINKS TO SAFRAN Featured

Namita Dhallan, DeltekThis has the look of a "if you can't beat 'em work with 'em" kind of moves. Deltek has introduced Acumen 6.0, the latest version of its project management software. And one of the most notable changes is that Acumen now integrates with Safran Project, enabling users to import Safran schedules. The other project management application is marketed by Norway-based Safran Software.  Namita Dhallan, Deltek's EVP of product strategy and engineering, discussed the decision to provide that integration in prepared statement.

She said, "We want to enable Acumen users to assess and improve the plans they have created regardless of their planning tool." The Acumen Suite has new analytical features, including Logic Trace, which provides the ability to identify areas of a project that are most crucial to on-time execution and produces Critical Schedule Drivers reports. Deltek has also added functionality for managing short-term, high-stakes projects such as shutdown/turnaround projects common in the oil-and-gas industry. Users can add duration uncertainties, risk impacts,and risk event mappings in hours, instead of days, the company asserted. Version 6.0 also synchronizes with Deltek RiskBook, which provides a team-based approach to identifying and scoring project risks. RiskBook pushes risk register information, including team polls on risk scores, into Acumen Risk to be incorporated into the schedule or cost risk analysis.
