Claritas: Clear Contract Control for Project Managers

TBS Claritas is a SaaS-based tool for Project Managers designed to address three all-too-common challenges PMs face when requesting and reviewing contract accounting data – difficulty in accessing just the information they need, information delivered in a clunky and hard-to-use format, and outdated and stale accounting reports.

Delivered via the TBS Enterprise Cloud, with Claritas for Project Managers you get:

• Contract costs at just the right level of detail. Dashboards and sortable control panels provide contract data just the way you want it. No more drinking from the accounting report “fire hose” – too much detail to gulp down.
• Always-on access, any time, any where via TBS’s secure enterprise cloud. All you need is an Internet connection. No Citrix. No more clunky reports buried in your email Inbox.
• Real-time data when you need it. Because Claritas uses posted, unposted, and unprocessed labor and expense data, there’s no more waiting for Accounting to close the books. Catch project overruns immediately.

Claritas for Project Managers’ intuitive and customizable interface provides just the right contract data when you need it. Claritas does NOT modify accounting data. It simply serves the most up-to-date labor and expenses, dashboards for trend monitoring, and sortable control panels for both single-and multi-project analysis.

Standard Dashboards feature real-time feeds for project performance, expenses and news. Including:

• 70% Complete “Stop Light” for government contractors includes period of performance, posted and unposted costs and hours to compare contract value and resource hours to budget. Click links to go directly into your projects.
• Bar Charts comparing the key parameters of your most important projects – including posted and unposted costs and hours. Click bars to go directly into your data.
• PM Information Containers – key dates, special announcements and important website monitoring relevant to project managers.

Claritas project data is a single stream of information, allowing you to intuitively “drill down” and back up to see all cost details within the same screen.

Claritas “Bread Crumb” navigation provides an immediate frame of reference for where you currently are within your data, and how to easily get back to where you were. Flip between multi- and single-project views any time you want.

Claritas for Project Managers delivers your project data right where you want it, just how you want it. Claritas remembers your viewing preferences. So when you return to your most important projects, cost and budget information is immediately presented just the way you like. And, unlike report builders, with Claritas you never have to open multiple screens to compare costs, or to hunt through a lengthy menu just to find the two or three reports that work.

Claritas for Project Managers is:

• NOT a report Writer – Claritas does not replace Deltek Impromptu and does not create custom invoices.
• NOT a Budgeting Tool – Claritas gathers data from GCS Premier, GCS Budgeting Planning, and MS Project, but does not replace these products.
• NOT a replacement for core GCS modules that support audit, accounting and billing data.

TBS Claritas is available on a monthly fee-per-seat subscription basis.
