2024 – The Year in Review

As another whirlwind year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on 2024’s milestones. From transformative product enhancements like the customisable home page to the upcoming Scheduler set to revolutionise project planning, this year has been all about growth and innovation. Our quarterly webinars brought clients together to share success stories, while our small but mighty team continued to deliver exceptional results. Here’s a look back at what made 2024 extraordinary and a glimpse into what’s ahead for 2025!

Accessing your Subscription History Report got a whole lot quicker!

Subscription management is a crucial responsibility for PPO Admins, and having a reliable audit trail is essential. That’s why PPO includes a Subscription Management History Report, providing a detailed record of all changes—complete with timestamps and the user who made each update. To make this report even more accessible, we’ve introduced a new enhancement where PPO Admins can now access the Subscription Management History Report directly from the Subscription Management page.

Editing your users just got quicker

Now, with our new multi-edit feature, you can update multiple user accounts in one go, making user administration faster and more efficient than ever!

Now it’s easier to update and download linked documents

We’ve upgraded the linked documents feature, so now you have the same full set of actions available as in the main document list. This makes it much easier to download all documents linked to a risk, task, issue, or any other item—and you can even save time with a bulk edit these linked documents.

Drill into Key Metrics from your Home Page

Our latest enhancement introduces an intuitive drill-through feature from key metrics on the homepage directly to detailed views. This feature allows quick access to critical insights—like diving into projects flagged as RED, viewing overdue issues, identifying the highest-severity risks, or checking outstanding work items at a glance.

Coming Soon: PPO’s New Scheduler – Streamline Project Planning and Save on Third-Party Tools!

PPO is excited to introduce its own Scheduler which is designed to accommodate all levels of project management maturity. With the PPO Scheduler, you can streamline your processes and eliminate the need for costly third-party tools, reducing both complexity and technology expenses.

Introducing Home Page Dashboard Sharing

Boost team efficiency with our new home page sharing feature in PPO. Now, users can share customised dashboard tabs with colleagues, allowing team members to adopt pre-built, valuable views without the need to create them from scratch. Learn how this feature can save your team time and enhance collaboration.

PPO Resource Capacity Update: What You Need to Know

We’ve simplified how PPO calculates resource capacity by removing the System Configuration Planning setting. Going forward, capacity will be determined solely by a resource’s standard hours, making it easier to manage and track. No action is required on your part—your resource records have been updated automatically to align with previous settings, ensuring a smooth transition.
