  • Lots of dissatisfied users. We have been discussing purchasing a new system for the past 3 years but switching costs are high.
  • If your needs are uncomplicated and very basic, OA can satisfy your needs.

  • It covers our requirements for time tracking and project/resource management better than the previous solution we used.
  • Project managers are happier having this tool for their job and also because it is running on the cloud as opposed to running on-prem.
  • It doesn't help in any way improving the "chasing" of the people that don't submit their time-sheets in time. This one stayed the same as before.

  • OpenAir allows our organization to fully understand our resourcing needs, which helps provide background info when scoping new SOWs. This means our SOWs and timelines are more accurate and budgeted correctly.
  • OpenAir saves time for our organization, which ultimately helps us become more efficient in our work.

  • We have been using NetSuite OpenAir PSA for years, and it worked very well with our ERP system, I believe it delivered a positive return on investment in a year or so after initial implementation by automating billing processes and increasing business productivity.

  • The Salesforce.com / OpenAir Integration reduces project creation manual entry effort by 50%, leveraging pre-created project templates.
  • The resource scheduling takes longer than within QuickArrow, as there are more clicks involved to set up scheduling specifics and double-checking your work. Accurate schedules make or break our utilization, so we are OK with spending time in this area. OpenAir does offer a feature to transfer a pre-created schedule from one resource to another. This is our favorite time-saver, specifically helpful when back-up employees are needed to cover for leave on complex projects.
  • Please know that when considering all the PSA solutions out there, an application is only as good as technology. It's up to you, the admin, to configurate it to meet the needs of your business. Technology alone is useless...take time to become educated and share those details with internal stakeholders. Make wise decisions and document them. We believe OpenAir is the best PSA on the market, when compared to competitors in 2013. Good luck making your decision, working backwards from reporting to achieve the best success.

  • Improve business processes by combining multiple disparate systems into one.
  • Ability to determine cost of sales for revenue generating projects. We can track projects that are product based, which will facilitate product based cost reporting. Time and expense is tracked for each project.

  • We increased our utilization in Services from 90% to over 100% using the resource management tools.
  • We reduced our backlog/queue time for starting new projects from 2 months to 2-4 weeks. With greater visibility, we were able to better plan our staffing needs for short/long term needs.
  • We had greater visibility for project managers in regards to the monitoring of contracts from an invoicing perspective resulting in increased billings and reduced time to get invoices out the door.
  • Given the integration of the solution, there was access to time off requests as well as company holidays (especially for co-location/countries). It allowed us to have greater visibility to ensure we had the proper staffing levels and were able to maximize our time and material opportunities over any period.

  • Increased frequency of billing (we went from monthly to bi-weekly) after the roll out of OpenAir. This helped improve our cash flow.
  • Better resource management. OpenAir helped us track our utilization so we could staff our projects with the right resources.
  • Better cost controls. Approval processes allowed our management team to keep better track of expenses.
