Major PDWARE Announcement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Portfolio Decisionware Announces Name Change of Flagship Product to
ResourceFirstTM and a New Release
NEW YORK, NY (June 5, 2015)—Portfolio Decisionware Inc. (PDWare), a leading provider of resource
planning and portfolio management software, announced general availability
today of ResourceFirst™ for cloud and on-premise installations. ResourceFirst is
a complete PPM (Project Portfolio Management) application that always considers
the impact of resources first when supporting the corporate planning functions
of prioritization, allocation and execution. ResourceFirst uses a signature
prioritized allocation algorithm to operationalize demand, capacity and other
resource management processes. ResourceFirst replaces PDWare™ Portfolio and
PDWare™ iTeam release 7.
“The product supports much more
of the portfolio planning process than the early releases could have supported.
Many organizations used PDWare™ to mature from spreadsheets to organized
resource planning. ResourceFirst offers a platform for these organizations to
continue marching towards enterprise portfolio management maturity while
maintaining the benefit of their current resource management accomplishments,”
said Peter Heinrich, Co-founder and CEO of Portfolio Decisionware Inc.
ResourceFirst introduces a new browser-supported user interface that
has a desktop feel without the cost of a desktop installation. ResourceFirst users
can determine which projects will be delivered, rationalize a portfolio, and
then execute and status from a single application. New features like an
enhanced project scheduler, integrated dashboard reports, collaborative note tracking
and intelligent inline notifications, expand the ability of users to manage
both resource and project portfolios. Users can also take advantage of integrations
with Microsoft® Project and Microsoft® Excel as productive
ways to work with legacy data.
ResourceFirst
offers more than just credible data entry. The ongoing analysis of resource,
status and financial data highlights the trouble spots ahead of the problem and
identifies when managers are not pulling their weight. “We
love PDWare® because it calls people out….their progress is right on
the dashboard”, says a Financial Institution Executive and User Advocate.
ResourceFirst also offers a desktop option for those users who prefer
the traditional approach. “ResourceFirst
is unique as users have a choice between two powerful user-interfaces, a
browser-based thin client that is easy to use and learn, and a Microsoft® Excel-based
desktop application for more intensive calculations and scenarios…some users
are just more comfortable using a traditional spreadsheet”, notes Paul
Samarel, Co-founder and CTO.
ResourceFirst is available now for large and small
organizations.
