Description

Even with the best dashboards and standard monthly communications, stakeholders frequently ask cost engineers to create reports to meet very specific needs, such as complex variances, special finance views, partner shares, or any number of slice-and-dice-show-me-again-but-different ways. These requests frequently require data manipulation, or at the very least, an “offline” side-spreadsheet that introduces data integrity risks. Organizations often cite such reports as reason to move to dedicated cost management software—but what does analysis really look like using such a tool? How can cost management software help produce and package standard reports while being flexible enough to tackle the hot topic of the week?

This presentation will focus on how cost engineers can leverage the power of Omega Pims Cost to analyze data quickly and create such reports by using data generated doing standard cost management activities.

• Customize cost dashboards directly in the tool and share them with management
• Deep dive into live data with the Pivot tool
• Create, save, and share custom ad-hoc reports
• Replace emails with automatic workflow to create and distribute standard monthly reports
