Documentation

- Desktop procedures for common processing, useful in audits and for on-going training
Business Productivity Assessment
A new fiscal year is often the best time to roll-out new processes or functionality – or to re-organize. Re-organizations will require assessments to allocations, projects and employees. A Business Productivity Assessment can help you re-align your Costpoint solution to meet new or changing requirements for the
coming year.
Each Business Productivity Assessment begins by developing an understanding of:
- Project success criteria
- Key business challenges and opportunities
- Business processes currently supported by Costpoint
- Capabilities of Costpoint that are currently not being utilized
- Gaps where new or changed requirements are not being met
