Resource Management

Resource management requirements vary depending on the area of application and the size of the company.

A differentiated and relevant use can only be achieved for customers by providing the best integrated components on the market (Best of Breed).

In order to meet these varying requirements, the myPARM Software has three different resource modules, which can be implemented in the corresponding configurations.

All three products are integrated into the myPARM Suite, which means that data is kept together; multiple inputs are not required.

Needless to say, the products can also be implemented as stand-alone products – customers in over 40 countries are already working with them.

myPARM RM module

Suitable in most cases for small teams in one location .

Silverbucket

The easy-to-use, web-based software is particularly well suited for companies with a lot of employees and/or a lot of different projects which are highly resource-driven.
