DecisionEdge(TM) Releases New Business Intelligence Software for Leading Project Management Applications; Organizations Using Primavera and Microsoft Office Project Make Better Decisions with New Project Reporting and Graphics Add-on Software.

PHILADELPHIA -- DecisionEdge, Inc., a leading provider of business intelligence software for project managers, today announced the release of two new reporting and graphics software add-on products for Primavera and Microsoft Office Project. Instead of wasting time with spreadsheets or generic reporting software, managers at project-oriented organizations can use DecisionEdge products to quickly generate the reports and graphics they need to better understand and communicate project information with all stakeholders.

DecisionEdge Suite for Primavera includes over 120 bundled charts and tabular reports for the Primavera project management, cost management, and contract management (formerly Expedition) solutions. The DecisionEdge Suite adds to Primavera's functionality with new charts and reports that help organizations better manage resources, keep stakeholders informed, track project status, and measure project performance using earned value. Included for cost management are the CPR Format 1 through 5 and C/SSR government reports required for compliance with the OMB 300 directive and the ANSI/EIA-748 earned value standard. Organizations with Primavera can use DecisionEdge to create a live, interactive window into project data for all stakeholders.

DecisionCharts for Microsoft Project adds over 70 new multi-project charts to Microsoft Office Project 2002 or later. By clicking a new DecisionCharts button on the Microsoft Office Project toolbar, managers can quickly understand their project portfolio better with new charts that help them plan resource allocation, keep stakeholders informed, track and compare project status, and measure project performance with earned value. DecisionCharts is also the first add-on software for Microsoft Office Project featuring the entire set of charts based on the Australian Standard 4817 for project performance measurement using earned value.

"It is amazing how many companies use workarounds to get the project reports and graphics they need," said Mark Tillema, President and CEO of DecisionEdge. "Until now, their only choices for project communication management have been manually copying into spreadsheets or paying consultants to create custom charts and reports from scratch with generic tools. DecisionEdge is pleased to offer focused solutions that combine the convenience of bundled charts and reports with the flexibility of creating and sharing new charts and reports for specific project visibility requirements."
