“With Cora, we can easily understand what we committed to delivering to our customers, statement by statement, and tracking that against the cost that we’re incurring to execute. That’s empowering future bids, and ultimately helping to execute the staffing process – how you staff people to demand, ensuring we have that traceability to determine if we have the capacity to deliver on all of our projects.”
–Ryan Godfrey, Director of Business Management, Digital Transformation, Northrop Grumman
Challenges Northrop Grumman faced
- Required an integrated project scheduling platform that could unify its disparate business processes across 4 separate business units, replacing Oracle Primavera, Planview, Clarizen, Smartsheet, etc. and other point solutions (PTC, Ansys, etc.)
- A single, scalable workforce planning solution that would be tightly coupled to this project schedule platform
- Sought a single source of truth – a single system of record, a single decision support platform that would provide integrity surrounding every aspect of finance, accounting and cost control
