First and foremost, there is no single tool on the market with the same portfolio of capabilities as the Acumen Fuse® platform.  While others can offer a rudimentary schedule analysis, only Acumen Fuse offers insight into the project as a whole, incorporating not only advanced schedule checks, but cost forecast accuracy, risk model realism, earned value, and performance analysis as well.

Why Fuse?

Enterprise Project Analysis

Fuse extends an analyst's capabilities by enabling it's users to slice and dice project data and target problematic areas and activities within a project.  By integrating schedule, cost, risk and performance metrics into a single dashboard, Fuse gives a richer, more valuable insight into not only project planning but execution and project close out as well. 

Fuse is an enterprise project analysis tool which incorporates multiple analysis modules into a single software.  Analyze logic integrity with the Fuse logic analyzer which pinpoints open ends, reverse logic, out of sequence activities, redundant logic, circular logic, lags and leads within a single schedule or multiple linked schedules. 

Incorporate multiple data sources such as an Microsoft Project or P6 schedule and an XLS cost estimate to seamlessly view the project as a whole in Fuse rather than switching between multiple software programs, giving you a true look at the project as a whole.

Performance

What takes other schedule analysis tools minutes to run is done in seconds with Acumen Fuse! Acumen Fuse does not require the likes of Microsoft Project or Primavera to be installed.  By natively reading Microsoft Project, Primavera, Cobra and Risk Analysis data, Fuse provides a much more scalable and robust solution capable of handling tens of thousands of activities across multiple projects (and even platforms) in seconds.

Customizable & Interactive

The Fuse interactive dashboard summarizes project status, schedule quality, and forensics all into a single view using charts, gauges, and graphs.  Use this view to quickly create custom project reports in Microsoft Office or click on any chart to view the driving activities.  The Fuse metric builder makes creating your own schedule checks simple, with easy to understand metric building blocks.  Create a set of standard checks to be used across your organization. 

Compliance

Through Acumen's partnerships and active involvement with leading industry entities, we are able to stay up to date on changes to the criteria and project requirements in the likes of the DCMA 14 Point Assessment and the GAO Scheduling Best Practices.  This means never worrying that your project will not meet today's criteria.

Forensic Analysis

Only Fuse includes a forensic analysis module which identifies variances between two or more schedules, cost estimates, or risk models allowing you to track progress and changes in monthly status updates or updates received from contractors.  Add any activity attribute to the analyzer to view variances.  Analyze not only added and removed activities, or relationship changes, but the impact of these changes on the likes of total float.
