REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Polaris PPM solution launched today, creating a new category of Self-driving PPM. For the first time, PMO and business leaders have a solution that can do the heavy lifting, analyzing real-time data, and delivering live recommendations on the best possible choices to decide from.
Whether you are a leader focused on the whole portfolio or specific to initiatives, resources, or finances, Polaris' MissionControl center gives you a view of what's critical to your success. It's customized to your role, yet operates off a common shared data platform, with 100% accurate and consistent data. That means there are no data silos, helping you understand the whole business and operate in harmony across groups.
Polaris SmartBeats helps update timesheets and project status in real-time by gathering rich comprehensive details about the work being done by your resources from desktop, mobile and tools like Slack, Jira, Microsoft Project and Asana. This way, even if different teams are using different project management tools, you will have your complete portfolio of projects in a common shared data platform that's 100% accurate, always up-to-date and is your single-source of truth.
