What is Hydra?

Hydra is a project resource management solution designed to help professional services design, execute and optimize their projects through knowledge management. With tools for managing best practices, knowledge, risks, requirements, time, budget, resources, and capacity, Hydra is designed to help businesses of all sizes manage their projects and execution, as well as project planning, collaboration, scenario planning, reporting, and more.

Hydra provides users with tools to help organizations deliver projects on time and on budget. Multiple projects can be managed in real time with one page displaying updates on completed tasks, progress, risk logs, requirements, and more. With Hydra, users have full control over costs with budget tracking and financial reporting to track the spend on each project compared with forecasts. Workflows can be set up to automate processes including risk management, resource planning with under and over utilization indicators, capacity planning with automatic re-distribution of resources across projects, task assignment based on employee skills, and more.

To facilitate knowledge management, Hydra allows users to store, manage, and share documents from one centralized location, with instant access to online and offline documents relating to projects. Hydra also uses blueprint technology to create meta-data copies of projects and best practices in order to improve the forecasting and planning of future projects.

Benefits of using Hydra

Generate 'what-if' scenarios to analyze the impact of different changes on projects and resources, including cost changes, customer changes, and more. Use results to effectively plan project changes and avoid overspending, over utilization of resources, and other issues.

Gain business insight with reports on a range of different project and business metrics, displayed in report dashboards at project, company, and customer level for instant, real-time access.

Manage resources and assign tasks to the most suitable employee based on skills, availability, and more, and view analytics to pinpoint the under or over utilization of team members so that issues can be resolved as soon as possible.

Track all projects, portfolio and resources using Hydra and benefit from the collaboration tools such as real-time information, social updates, and file sharing between multiple teams, locations, suppliers, and customers.

Create unique Blueprints, meta-data models, that capture best practices and know-how. Service Execution is governed by Blueprints to ensure projects are delivered consistently and according to best practices, lowering the risks and costs of future projects.
