3 Olive Solutions Adds On-Screen Filtering and Resource Management Capabilities to Project Portfolio Management Tool.

CHICAGO -- 3 Olive Solutions announces the latest release of its innovative on-demand project portfolio management (PPM) solution, Portfolio Intelligence[R]. This latest release incorporates enhanced functionality including portfolio filtering, resource utilization analysis, additional scheduling attributes and increased security through new configuration choices.

The new filtering capability allows a subscriber to stay in the elegant life-cycle phase views that Portfolio Intelligence is known for while viewing, analyzing and reporting on a subset of projects in the portfolio.

"This is a very powerful new feature for our customers," said Steve Chamberlin, chief executive officer of 3 Olive Solutions. "Instead of being forced into a hierarchical approach to organizing projects, subscribers are able to use natural project attributes and data to define drill-down and roll-up views, analyses and reports."

The addition of a new resource utilization analysis capability and the ability to define new project scheduling attributes such as date baselines and notes are enhancements designed to allow Portfolio Intelligence customers to more efficiently manage their project portfolio.

"Being able to understand which resources are over or under-loaded is a critical part of PPM," noted Chamberlin. "Portfolio managers also need to be able to quickly sort resources based on their overall utilization rate for specific time periods in the future and this latest release of Portfolio Intelligence addresses those needs."
