REPORTS AND GRAPHICS

Reports And Graphics A comprehensive set of graphical
reporting tools ensures that presentation of your project
information meets your corporate standards. This includes an
extensive range of pie, line and bar charts, Gantt and PERT
charts, and histograms to cover all aspects of single and multiple
project reporting. Your reports can also be customized with
logos, fonts, backgrounds for a fully customized look and feel.
Integrated Software As part of the Artemis Views suite of
integrated, role-based applications, Advanced Planning can be
combined with other Views applications to create a complete
solution for enterprise project planning and scheduling, activity
and resource tracking, cost control and Earned Value
Management (EVM), and executive reporting and analysis. All
Views applications are based on a centralized, industry standard
SQL database. As a result, changes to project schedules,
deadlines and resources in Advanced Planning are immediately
visible in other Views applications. This improves communication
and decision-making at every level of your organization, while
providing real-time feedback on the impact of project resource
and cost changes downstream.
