Vision Performance Management, Touch Time for Vision 1.1 and Touch Time CRM for Vision 1.1 offer the business intelligence and mobility businesses need to achieve more.

Improving billing process with Invoice Approvals

Vision 7.1 speeds up the billing process with an all-new Invoice Approval system that allows your organization to process invoices for submittal and approval, all within the Vision platform. Within this functionality, users in the ‘biller’ role can submit invoices for approval, at which point designated ‘approving users’ can preview the invoice, review the detail, edit the labor and expenses and even provide comments. The ‘approver’ also has the capability to approve or reject invoices as needed.

Driven by alerts, Vision 7.1’s Invoice Approval system allows Accounting Managers, Senior Executives and employees to speed up the invoicing process and capture all relevant information within a single, integrated platform.

Enhancing Business Intelligence with Powerful Graphical Dashboards

Deltek’s Vision Performance Management (VPM) module offers project-focused organizations a powerful business intelligence tool that helps organizations turn critical business data into usable, proactive knowledge. If you own VPM, part of your Vision 7.1 upgrade includes an upgrade to the VPM module.

In Vision 7.0 the VPM data cubes were expanded to include additional data. Now, with the Vision 7.1 upgrade, you’ll have a brand new presentation layer that allows you to see data like you’ve never seen it before. VPM delivers

organizational performance data in easy-to-read, interactive and visually-oriented dashboards that drive more effective decision-making within businesses.

The benefits of VPM include:

• A brand-new presentation layer, powered by Tableau®, that presents data in interactive and visually-rich dashboards

• Many out-of-the-box, role-based dashboards

• Dashboards that cover everything from executive level views, to Project Manager related data and overall company performance

• The ability to visualize performance data against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) so that you can see your actual data compared with goals you have set for your organization

• Powerful desktop authoring tools that makes it easier than ever to build your own dashboards for your business’ unique, visualization needs

• Real-time information that delivers insight into an organization’s performance, allowing individuals across the organization to make intelligent decisions that enable growth and profitability

Expanding Mobile Functionality Being released at the same time as Vision 7.1, new versions of Deltek’s mobile Time and mobile CRM applications are also available.

Touch Time for Vision 1.1 Deltek Touch Time for Vision 1.1 is the newest version of mobile time for Vision and is available for iOS and Android devices.
