Managing projects and services?

Struggling with spreadsheets, but don't want expensive project management software? Welcome to innate.

We are a well established UK based software author, helping organisations to manage their skilled resources across projects and services.

We are particularly effective where the use of spreadsheets and/or Microsoft Project is not providing a satisfactory solution. Innate is the logical next step, avoiding the disruption of more expensive, over complex systems.

Innate web based spreadsheets store data centrally in SQL Server or Oracle and we synchronize with Microsoft Project, if required. Converting your spreadsheets into Innate will transform your system; project and resource data becomes consistent, user access controllable, and web based reports will substantially improve communication.

What our clients say...

"We have made notable savings in external resources because we have been able to plan better"
Steve Wass, Abbey

'With all the cuts going on, we are trying to do more with less and resource sharing/allocation is huge, but we don't know the best methods or tool to use'.
Innate provides a quick hit on such resource management issues, with a simple and inexpensive approach that avoids the need for large, complex systems.
All the core project management functions are provided. With Innate software, you can easily:

  • Check the skills capacity as new work arrives and rebalance the workload with 'What If…' scenarios
  • Plan the work with Innate web based spreadsheets, using Microsoft Project where appropriate. We handle both project and 'business as usual' tasks, to give a complete picture of demand on your resources
  • Allocate staff to tasks, based on skills, commitments and preferences.
  • Record how time is spent, for project tracking, metrics and staff utilization.
Check the skills capacity to take on new work as it arrives and get the best fit when matching staff with tasks.
If you are currently using Microsoft Project and spreadsheets, migrating to Project Server can be too large a step.
With a high percentage of big ticket project software ending up 'just doing timesheets', jumping from spreadsheets to a big system is high risk, expensive and very disruptive.
Measure the financial aspects of project performance. Compare actual spend with the value of work done, and the estimate to complete with the project budget.
