Public sector organisations are under growing pressure to get better results from fewer resources, improve project governance and reduce the risk of project failure.
Asta Powerproject has been implemented in a wide variety of public sector organisations to help solve different project-related challenges. Whilst accurate project scheduling is often a baseline requirement, the key challenge facing these organisations is generally how to best utilise staff across multiple projects. Maximising staff utilisation rates and capacity management in relation to current and future projects – as well as consistent, reliable cross-project reporting – are arguably the top project-related issues that virtually every public sector organisation has in common.

Asta Powerproject can be implemented as a multi-user, real-time system to provide complete visibility over all projects and resources. Role-based views can be set up in the system to provide different project stakeholders with exactly the information they need to do their job effectively.
Senior management:
As a manager, you want consistent, reliable reports that highlight variances from plan so that corrective action can be taken. Asta’s Business Intelligence tool provides graphical web-based reporting on the health of your project portfolio with the ability to drill-down and interrogate the data.
Team leaders
“Too many projects and not enough staff”, is a common issue facing many team leaders. Asta Powerproject helps you get resource levels right on current projects and to build a robust case for getting the staff you need to deliver future projects.
Project manager
Managing projects can be tough with constant demands from senior management for new
reports as well as the challenge of keeping your team on track. With Asta Powerproject, you can implement a standard project methodology which will improve the consistency of data gathering and reporting – so you don’t feel like you are ‘reinventing the wheel’ for each new project.
Team member
You want to know what your priorities are and feel in control of your working day. With Asta’s Time Sheet module, you can see what tasks you have to do and when – and how they support the overall delivery of the project.
“Following an extensive review of our processes, we discovered that improved scheduling of resources and management of financial accounting, coupled with advanced delivery of salient data had the potential to improve our economic viability. So we turned to Asta Development for the solution.”
