Project management

NaviServ Company is a complex solution for automation of project management. Such solution is designed to create a unified integrated information system aimed to increase promptness of data exchange and increase speed of data processing by financial and design services of the company.

Architecture of the solution stipulates possibility of creating continuous relations between management administration system built on the basis of ERP-system from Microsoft Dynamics NAV and tools of calendar-network planning and project recording (e.g., Microsoft Project or Primavera). Whereas at creation of this solution principles of target orientation of every system to its group of users, its tasks and methods of accounting have been taken into account. Management administration of the company built in terms of projects enables controlling economic feedback from performance of every specific project. But if specialized Project-systems should not be used, in this case management administration takes all the functions of operation with projects without any integration. And possibility of connecting any additional elements to Microsoft Dynamics NAV will enable integrating functions of Gantt charts. Such approach stipulates that management administration should include functions required for design division units. At the same time the system enables, if required, transferring from one option to another even directly in the course of its operation without any loss of data.

The solution for automation of project management stipulates rather flexible options of its application. Thus, for example, management administration and accounting (tax records) can be set in a different way at establishment of a complex ERP-system. All the structure of projects can be implemented solely in management administration, whereas only consolidated data will be reflected in accounting and tax records. Such principle enable ensuring required specification of data in management administration for business management of the company and avoid extra overloading with analytical data in accounting and tax records.

In case of a comprehensive structure of the company, when projects are distributed between several legal entities, a project can be assigned to a certain legal entity. Management administration of the whole holding company will cover all the variety of projects of all the legal entities, whereas accounting of a certain legal entity – only projects related to it. Assignment of projects to legal entities is important in terms of accurate establishment of primary documents, for example, certificates and invoices from this legal entity of the company.
