Many professional service organisations do not have personnel scheduling software that provides a proper overview of their capacity situation more than a month ahead, making resource or engagement planning a near impossible task. Don’t base your capacity planning on guess work - by utilising Deltek People Planner, available stand alone or fully integrated with Deltek Maconomy, you can maximise staff utilisation and improve your resource management efficiency. Too many firms are either working with old personnel scheduling software systems or use individual spreadsheets for compiling crucial data. Inevitably this means that partners and key decision makers lack a cross-departmental, company-wide overview of engagements with clients and available resources. This causes bottlenecks, unnecessary use of contractors and idle resources in the longer term.
