Resource Management Solutions

Deliver on-time, on-budget IT projects through tighter resource management.

IT projects are, by nature, complex and highly time sensitive. Clients expect projects to be delivered on time and on budget, and the ability to forward-plan resources and teams is critical.

It’s imperative that teams are fully utilised to ensure the timely delivery of any IT project with appropriately skills personnel staffed on to these projects.

With Retain’s Calendar view, users can generate reports regarding capacity analysis for months ahead. Quickly identify resource slack, resource 2. Overutilisation and maximise resource utilisation. Easily shuffle resources when necessary, and adjust costs when changes arise by IT projects.
