PDWare

PDWare is a resource management software for project-driven organizations that emphasize prioritization, feasibility and execution as the pillars of successful project and program delivery. The solution is available for cloud and on-premise installations, providing first-line managers, executives, PMO and EPPMO functions the agility to meet fluctuating work priorities, schedules, demand and staff capacity.

PDWare allows users to choose between a browser-based thin client and a Microsoft Excel-based desktop client, and both user experiences share data in a central hosted or on-premise database. ResourceFirst Web Client is 100% thin-client and can be hosted or installed on-premise.

The ResourceFirst PPM method puts resource planning at the core of all portfolio analysis. Resource planning is always addressed first because it provides a big initial performance impact, and it provides the basis for determining feasibility throughout portfolio management processes.

ResourceFirst Web Client provides all the tools a user needs to manage a portfolio of projects, whether it's a team member reviewing assignments or time-tracking, a project or resource manager entering forecast or status, or a portfolio manager, PMO resource, or executive looking to analyze the data or view and create dashboards. It takes advantage of all the latest web technology including dashboards powered by Qlik, hosting by Microsoft Azure.

ResourceFirst Desktop offers users a forecasting spreadsheet that they are used to, and it transforms the data into an enterprise repository that management can analyze and use for business decisions. All while maintaining data security and accuracy. True PPM functionality has been added including Capacity Planning, Portfolio Analysis, What-If Scenarios, Workflow, and much more, all while maintaining a very user-friendly front end with auto-fill, copy-paste, and all the functionality from Microsoft Excel. PDWare also delivers prioritized allocation algorithm and rapid implementation.
