Overall Satisfaction with Innotas

Innotas is being used by the Information Technology Department to manage projects, manage resource capacity, and manage the project funnel. It solves the problem of ensuring business solutions are delivered to our customers on time and within budget. It also allows us to manager our resource capacity and report up to management through dashboards.
  • Innotas does a great job of predictive modeling to align projects based on resource capacity, given user defined criteria.
  • Innotas has the tools and capabilities to effectively manage the day to day project execution.
  • Innotas has very flexible management reporting with the use of portfolios and dashboards.
  • Innotas synchronizes time reported by associates to tasks that the resources are assigned to in projects.
  • Innotas is accessible from anywhere there is internet access since it is a cloud based application providing flexibility for the user.
  • It would be helpful to provide the ability to link projects and tasks within projects together more effectively to promote program management.
  • Features to promote Agile/SCRUM more effectively would make it easier to integrate all of the projects across our organization.
  • A single view into projects, finances, budgets, etc. eliminates PowerPoint presentations, excel spreadsheets and other administrative work.
  • The tool helps justify additional resources based on project demand and capacity.
Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Innotas is well suited to managing the execution of projects, managing resources, reporting progress and project initiation funnels. Because it is a cloud based solution, entering tasks one by one can be time confusing. I would recommend building new plans in Microsoft Project and importing the tasks into Innotas once the majority of the details are entered.
