Unmatched Performance
What takes other schedule analysis tools minutes to run is done in seconds with Acumen Fuse! Acumen Fuse does not require
the likes of Microsoft Project or Primavera to be installed. By natively reading Microsoft Project, Primavera, Cobra and Risk
Analysis data, Fuse provides a much more scalable and robust solution capable of handling tens of thousands of activities
across multiple projects (and even platforms) in seconds.
Compliance
Through Acumen’s partnerships and active involvement with leading industry entities we are able to stay up to date on changes
to criteria and project requirements in the likes of the DCMA 14-Point Assessment and the GAO Scheduling Best Practices. This
active involvement and commitment to accuracy is why both organizations have chosen Fuse as their project analysis software of
choice.
