Sciforma project management solution works from the cloud and from your own premises. The choice of where to use the solution is entirely left to the user. Both versions of the solution have exactly the same functionality. The solution is specially suited for managing IT projects, professional services, and new product development. It supports any project management methodology that you may want to implement and both the SaaS and the on-premises versions are based on HTML 5 technology that can be accessed from any device that can connect to the Internet.
Sciforma has been around for 30 years in the Project Management solution space. Therefore there is a lot of experience and knowledge behind the brand. If you are in the professional services sector, Sciforma will help you offer your services more efficiently.
Using the professional services admin modules, you can manage client projects and forecast the costs and revenues that are likely, offer quotations, handle invoices, and manage and control your entire range of services through the Sciforma portal. The professional service portal allows you to bid for and get work, plan and execute the tasks, handle billing, and track the project through to completion. There is second level activity as well beyond the steps just listed. You learn from projects that you have completed and are able to improve the quality of your forecasts, bids, and estimates.
When it comes to managing new products and their development cycle, the solution allows you to create custom workflows that integrate a formal phase gate review system, you can input a new idea into the system and follow it through to development, the solution also helps project managers create estimates for market impact, technical feasibility, or market share and ROI. Managers can also define the priorities new product development will have and generate reports and dashboards that help management select promising new products and projects.
Sciforma is one of the few solutions that actually allows you to identify, incubate, and develop new ideas. There is a formal system of ranking ideas as they move through the business. Just for their capability of new idea management, we say – evaluate Sciforma.
