AceProject vs. WorkOtter PPM

It is well suited if you have a specific work force or are working in a production or an assembly line style environment. It is also well suited if you have small teams that have to get out a certain amount of product in set periods of time. AceProjects is great for monitoring how long each individual spent on their specific task and subsequently how long the team took to complete their work.

I know it works well for IT but not sure how it would work for construction. I think construction has a different set of needs.

• Time Tracking
• Resource allocation
• Easy to implement, small adoption curve.

Incentivized

• Users find it easy to use which is important if you have a large number of users who don't have time for a lot of training or when new hires come on-board.
• WorkOtter has a lot of advanced features that we don't use but when we do need one, it is nice to know the feature is waiting for us. We have used several of these features for special projects.
• It does a good job with resource management.

• Expand on data tracking
• Improve report generation
• Break out from just being a time clock manager.

• Nothing significant. Maybe could be faster at times but I'm not sure if that is our own internet connection.

• We were able to track our production teams work and refine our methods to improve deliverable dates.
• Once our staff reached a certain size the capability of the software began to lag. Diminishing returns.
• The lack of reporting features made data regression and extrapolation difficult.

• I think it has really helped us make sure we are using resources effectively but I think it is hard to prove. Although we don't have hard ROI numbers, I believe the general feeling is that you really need a good PPM tool or will waste a lot of time and money.
• It helps with communication since we have a standard process.
