Kantata

Start your week by lining up the right people on the right work. In Kantata, a project lead creates a plan in minutes: define deliverables, timeline, budget, and the capabilities needed. The resource view instantly suggests available specialists based on skills, location, and cost, and shows who’s at risk of overload. Run quick what‑if scenarios to compare staffing options, lock the plan, and push requests to resource managers for approval. When a client shifts scope or dates, drag the schedule, reflow assignments automatically, and notify the team in real time so no one misses a beat.

As delivery starts, daily coordination happens in one place. Use boards or timelines to track tasks, dependencies, and milestones; switch to a standup view to see who’s blocked today. Team members log time and expenses from desktop or mobile, with smart suggestions based on recent work. Burn rates, remaining effort, and milestone risk indicators update live, giving managers a clear heads‑up before issues escalate. When change requests arrive, clone the plan into a revision, estimate impact on cost and capacity, route for client approval, and then merge back without losing history.

Finance leaders configure rate cards, billing rules, and revenue schedules once, then let Kantata do the math. Choose fixed‑fee, T&M, or hybrid; map labor categories to margins; auto‑generate invoices from approved time and expenses; and post accruals or recognitions on schedule. Utilization targets roll up from individuals to practices and regions, with alerts when goals drift. Forecasts tie into pipeline opportunities, so you can see capacity shortfalls months out, model hiring plans, and understand how each scenario affects margin, revenue, and cash.

Executives get portfolio‑level insight without asking for spreadsheets. Dashboards show delivery health, staffing confidence, client satisfaction trends, and forecast accuracy by account. Standard templates accelerate new projects, while automation nudges work forward with reminders and approvals. Connect Kantata to your CRM, HRIS, accounting system, and collaboration tools to eliminate double entry. Role‑based access keeps sensitive data secure, and the audit trail proves who changed what and when for clean, compliant operations.
