Government Contracting

The Challenge

Disconnected Project Management Operational excellence teams often grapple with varied processes for managing critical program artifacts like CAM documents, requirements, OBS, and WBS, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and compliance risks. Many EVMS implementations today still rely on disconnected platforms for cost, schedule, and reporting, which results in data reconciliation issues and delays in decision-making.

Transforming Program Delivery in Regulated Industries:

Single Integrated Platform

Single Integrated Platform Cora GovCon addresses these challenges head-on by providing an integrated, interlinked system that connects every aspect of program management. This comprehensive platform combines core EVM functions like scheduling and cost control with broader program management, risk management, change management, and reporting, all within a single product. This unification ensures consistent and reliable data, simplifies compliance with government requirements, and significantly reduces overhead for managing complex portfolios.

Earned Value Management

Earned Value Management Cora introduces the industry's first real-time, unified scheduling solution, fully integrating cost and schedule data with no imports, exports, or sync delays. Built for government and complex programs, this capability combines earned value precision, schedule integrity, and financial control, all in one seamless platform.

Integrated Master Scheduling

Integrated Master Scheduling Advanced Scheduling Intelligence: • Schedule Integrity: Aligns with industry-standard scheduling algorithms to ensure your IMS is the single source of truth • Out-of-Sequence Alerts: Automatically flags tasks breaking logical flow and suggests corrective actions • Critical & Driving Path Analysis: View the critical path as the longest path with options to exclude LOE, apportioned, or inactive tasks • Task Type Modeling: Full support for CA, WP, PP, SLPP, SVT, Milestones, Hammocks, and Schedule Margin Program Traceability Built In: • Vertical Traceability: REQs → SOWs → WBS → CDRLs/DMs → CLINs → Tasks • Horizontal Traceability: OBS → WBS → Milestones → Tasks

IPMDAR Reporting

IPMDAR Reporting Seamless Integration with Industry Tools: Cora is designed to work alongside the tools your teams already use. Ongoing enhancements ensure smooth integration with industry-standard scheduling platforms like Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, making it easy to exchange data without manual rework or version conflicts. This means fewer exports, cleaner imports, and more confidence in your schedule, no matter where it starts.

Key EVM Capabilities

Integrated Cost and Schedule

Integrated Cost and Schedule The first solution to fully unify cost and schedule data in one platform, in real-time, without imports, exports, or delays. Provides program and control account managers with a powerful workbench offering a single, real-time view of budgets, forecasts, and Estimates at Completion (EACs).

Comprehensive Earned Value Techniques

Comprehensive Earned Value Techniques (EVTs) Supports an expansive range of EVT methodologies, aligning with industry standards and DoD EVMS Interpretation Guide requirements. Defines how task progress is calculated and reflected in Earned Value Percent Complete (EV%) and Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP).

Dynamic EV Period Data & EAC Analysis

Dynamic EV Period Data & EAC Analysis Collects monthly cost and schedule information at Control Account and Work Package levels, including actuals, budgets, planned values, and performance metrics. Features a flexible EAC Analysis grid for filtering, sorting, and sharing performance data to enhance analysis and simplify government contract reporting.

Rigorous Baseline Change Control

Rigorous Baseline Change Control (BCC) Maintains Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) integrity by documenting, authorizing, and integrating all changes with complete traceability. Allows modeling and assessment of project changes before implementation, with XML export format for easier EVMS compliance.

Insightful Variance Reporting

Insightful Variance Reporting Identifies and analyzes Schedule Variances (SVs), Cost Variances (CVs), and Variance at Completion (VAC) with configurable thresholds. Captures the "why, what, how, when, and who" for any variance, with automatic tests when EV Period Data is generated.

DCMA 14-Point Health Check

Powerful DCMA 14-Point Health Check Enables direct schedule health validation against the Gantt schedule with automatic audit logging for compliance assurance. Evaluates schedule quality by checking logic links, constraints, float, dates, resource assignments, and critical path integrity.

EVM Performance Visuals

Intuitive EVM Performance Visuals Enhanced widget provides visual S-curve charts tracking ACWP, Earned Value (BCWP), and Planned Value (BCWS) over time. Includes detailed metrics grid with improved data accuracy and standardized terminology for clear stakeholder insights.

Flexible Rate Matrix

Flexible Rate Matrix for Cost Accuracy uses planned resource attributes to define effective planning rates for granular, objective cost forecasting. Supports indirect burdening with predetermined rates, ensuring comprehensive cost views for complete EVM compliance.

Strategic Workforce Planning Image
