JAMIS Prime Business Planning Suite
Bid & Proposal, Budgeting, and Forecastinig
JAMIS Prime’s Business Planning Suite provides a single unified source for collaboration, leading to accurate and trustworthy budgets and forecasts. This powerful tool will enable more people to participate in the forecasting and business planning processes, controlling permissions and access rights of users, eliminating islands of information and spreadsheets, and making it possible for the entire workforce to accept budgets and forecasts. The system provides full integration of business development, operations and finance functions. JAMIS Prime’s Business Planning can assist you in answering hypothetical questions such as:
- What will my indirect rates look like if I win the large NASA proposal on which we are bidding?
- How many senior scientists will I need to reduce if we lose the large follow-on bid with DOE?
- What will the impact on our rates be if we decide to subcontract out the engineering services on DOT contract?
- If we open up a second office and move to two sets of rates, what impact will that have on existing contracts and future bids?
- If we overrun our upside budget by 15% on the Navy jobs, how will that affect revenue?
- If we win all jobs forecasted with 50% or higher probability, what will our hiring profile look like for next year?
SDL Consulting specializes in JAMIS Prime Implementations and has successfully implemented all modules of this comprehensive ERP system for over 80 clients.
