management, we were
able to eliminate days
from ourCPR process.”

The A&D Program Management Challenge
The A&D PM
must control a
number of
“moving parts”
to finish on time
and under
budget.
A&D projects are complex by nature

9. ©COPYRIGHT DASSIAN INC. 2015 9
The desired state
Accurate, timely forecasting is enabled by
integrating schedules, plans, and actual costs in a
functionally and technically seamless solution
The system enables the project team to
quickly adjust to the unexpected,
overcome delays, and effectively
manage project resources

10. ©COPYRIGHT DASSIAN INC. 2015 10

Handling project actuals in a separate system is the real limiting factor

The impact of Interfaced Program Management
Compliance challenge
• Difficult to maintain and prove
compliance with an interfaced
landscape and when planning
data is separated from actual
data
Business challenges
• Poor insights into program
performance
• Inefficient processes with
manual steps and reconciliations
• Error prone processes
IT challenges
• No single vendor accountable for
complete solution
• Expensive to build and maintain
• Synchronization challenges with
redundancy and asynchronous
integration
