Operating overview

What is Operating?

Operating is a people management platform that provides a real-time view of a business's people operations. The platform helps companies plan and allocate work, find the right team for each project, monitor project progress, and forecast future capacity and revenue.

The platform includes team planning capabilities that automatically match consultants to projects based on their skills and availability. It also has a visual timeline view that enables users to allocate work with hourly rates and project budgets, distinguishing between confirmed and tentative allocations. Operating integrates with time tracking systems, allowing companies to monitor planned versus actual hours worked and identify differences in utilization at the individual, project, and client levels.

The platform's forecasting capabilities provide an accurate view of future capacity and revenue. Companies can forecast revenue from the company, competence, and project team levels, and identify which roles or skills will be in high demand, informing their hiring decisions. Operating offers a comprehensive solution for managing people operations, from planning and allocation to monitoring and forecasting.

This is how new project are created and become visible in Operating (the way we set it up), so it is critical that this works. And it really does - right out of the box the integration just worked.
