Project & Resource Management:Info@Hand tracks the performance of current projects, and organizes a history of all project-related documents, status reports, tasks and contacts. Utilization, and time booked to project tasks, are also tracked for resources assigned to the project. Within Info@Hand, a project is organized as:
There are a number of common sub-panels - such as Open Activities, History, Contacts, Documents and Opportunities - but also a special sub-panel entitled Project Tasks. Project tasks include information about the start and due date for each task, the resources assigned to the task, the utilization percentage for those resources on this task, and the hourly cost for those resource on this task (by default the standard hourly cost is used from their HR profile). When a project task is active, resources may book time to the project and to that project task specifically. At the end of each time period, resources file timesheets, which automatically include all time they have booked to projects or service cases during that time period. Once their timesheets are approved, the costs for their work accrue to the project and are displayed on the project's summary table of costs and income. And a project's as-yet-unbilled booked hours may be invoiced at any time. With a single mouse-click, the user has an invoice open with all billable hours detailed on it, ready to print or email. The Info@Hand Calendar filter may be set to show project task assignments for any resources you want to check on. Gantt charts may be displayed for any project to review progress on tasks, reorder display of tasks, and click through to view detailed task information. Customers may collaborate on projects via the Self-Service Portal, checking on the progress and anticipated completion dates of tasks, uploading or downloading project documents, and accessing contact information for project members. Document Management: Info@Hand enables the sharing of business documents - from HR claim forms and Marketing collateral to Engineering designs.
A project can have all of the project's documentation attached to it. An account, lead or contact can have all related documents attached, and supporting documents for a service case can be attached to it. |
