"Improving cost and schedule performance is a critical business need in Aerospace and Defense and other industries," said Subbu Muthu, Realization's Vice President of Product Development and Customer Services. "Earned Value is now a government mandated standard method in the Aerospace and Defense industry for managing costs. Realization has been at the forefront of providing innovative scheduling solutions – based on the Critical Chain method – that allow organizations like Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems, Delta Airlines, Lufthansa, and Spirit AeroSystems to finish projects 20 to 50 percent faster. Now these companies can leverage the best of both worlds."

Concerto's EVM integration capability creates a baseline schedule that can be imported into any EVM-capable software. Project managers can mark task completions in either Concerto or the EVM-capable software, and the two will automatically synchronize, enabling the generation of real-time EVM reports. Concerto already provides tight EVM integration with Oracle Primavera and supports integration with all other EVM-capable software platforms.

This new capability is now available to all Concerto customers. For more information, please visit the following link.
