Why another PM Software?
Existing Tools are either Legacy or ERP and are slow and clunky to use. Also, there is no single tool that provides all the functions in one place. Newer tools are slick but lightweight. They do not have the functionality to live in an enterprise project function. PACE was built to be a modern, scalable, performant, enterprise project tool
What do you mean by end to end functions for project management?
PACE Covers Initiation to planning, execution and closeout for Service Providers, Asset Owners and Internal Work. For service providers it starts with opportunities and proposal development to winning the work leading to planning, execution and closeout. For Asset owners and internal work it covers budgeting, proposal prioritization and funding and then continuing with planning, execution and closeout.
What industries is PACE geared towards?
Our initial focus is on the AEC/Industry for Service providers (AEC Contractors and subs) and Asset Owners (Utilities, State & Local govts, Energy, etc.). We plan to eventually move into Professional services, Government contracting, Aerospace & Defense and ETO/ATO industries.
What Integrations are available with PACE?
PACE provides delivered integration to ERP applications like Oracle eBS and Fusion Cloud ERP. If you are using another ERP, please do get in touch as we would love to enable PACE with your ERP. We also integrate to CRM Tools like Salesforce and we provide a plethora of APIs to push data to and pull data from PACE.
Does PACE work with Office Software?
For now many of pace objects have export capabilities to Microsoft Excel and major objects also allow manipulation of data in Microsoft Excel and reimport into PACE.
What are the reporting capabilities with PACE?
PACE is built as a reporting first application. In fact the very first thing we built with PACE are the portfolio and project reporting dashboards and the project transactional reports. Even now we enable reporting first for any new function we add to PACE
How is PACE Licensed?
PACE is built for collaborative execution and encourages you to bring all your team members into the application to enable this collaboration. Hence PACE is not licensed by user, but in large part by a metric that we call Project Month – that means for every month that a project is active in PACE.
