Project teams are constantly evolving and as teams become more remote, companies need to adapt and adjust to meet the demand. Deltek is committed to supporting your remote teams to improve productivity, optimize utilization and help maintain cash flow. Are you taking advantage of all Ajera has to offer to support your teams?

COLLABORATION AND PLANNING ARE CRITICAL

Keeping remote employees connected to help teams know which projects are priority, what tasks are outstanding and how much time they have been assigned to each project. Enabling collaboration and communication around the projects allows your teams to adjust more quickly and work together seamlessly. Ajera Schedule Manager allows project managers to more effectively manage employee assignments, know which employees have capacity and keep employees informed about project assignment changes. As project requirements and client demands change and evolve, you can ensure optimal utilization to keep projects on track.

FLEXIBILITY TO ADJUST TO PROJECT DEMANDS

As project schedules or requirements change, feel confident that you know what your teams are working on so you can easily adjust or pivot. With Ajera, you can keep remote workers focused on the right projects so you can keep projects on track regardless of where team members are located. Ajera’s Project Command Center gives project managers timely project data so they know how a project is performing and can adjust mid-project, if needed, all while keeping teams informed. Project managers can actively monitor project profitability and expenses to keep schedules and budgets on track to make sure teams are getting paid for the work they deliver. 

Now is the time to make sure project managers are proactively sharing project assignments, deadlines and budgeted hours with remote workers so there is no impact to project delivery and your teams can be more responsive to changing client needs.

MAINTAIN CASH FLOW

When it comes to project-based businesses, cash flow is critical, but as projects change and more employees are remote, maintaining cash flow can be a challenge. Now is the time to re-examine your financial processes and adapt to your remote workforce with a more paperless environment. If you aren’t taking advantage of Ajera’s browser-based or mobile timesheets and expense reports, it’s time to make them available for your teams so they can quickly and easily update their projects and give project managers better insight into project performance. Ajera also empowers your teams to approve timesheets, expense reports and draft invoices digitally to help keep the billing process moving. Ajera users should also take advantage of emailing client statements to reduce time during the collection process and importing credit card transactions to improve the accuracy of expense reports and decrease reconciliation time. It’s time to eliminate the paper-based processes and streamline your cash flow.
