GovCon Project Management Software

Cora’s program management software helps government contractors manage resources, meet compliance requirements, and improve project margins. It enhances bid success while optimizing operational performance in complex aerospace and defense program management environments.

Project Management Software for Government Contracting

Cora helps Government Contractors improve project margins and win more bids.

Workforce Planning

Move beyond traditional headcount planning to strategic workforce planning. Ensure the right personnel are assigned to the right projects, optimizing performance and delivery. Align workforce capabilities with contract requirements, improving operational efficiency and compliance with government mandates.

Integrated Master Scheduling

Create structured schedules linking milestones, deliverables, and decision points to aerospace and defense contract objectives. Maintain traceability to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and ensure authorized work assignments are allocated efficiently, integrating scheduling with baseline management and EAC forecasting.

Financial Control Against Contract Line

Track, measure, and analyze actual costs against budgeted and planned expenditures with full contract line visibility (CLIN, SLIN, and ELIN). Maintain cost transparency and accountability by integrating financial data from ERP systems for real-time budget, forecast, and EAC monitoring. Automated compliance checks and alerts help teams prevent contract deviations and financial risk.

Earned Value Management

Gain precise control over aerospace and defense project performance using earned value techniques aligned with DoD and NDIA EVM standards. Ensure compliance with EVMSIG and EIA-748-D guidelines to support DCMA oversight. Automated variance tracking and real-time alerts improve cost and schedule forecasting while streamlining financial performance reporting. 

FedRAMP Ready Security

Cora PPM is FedRAMP Ready, meeting federal cybersecurity standards. Available on-premises or in the cloud, it ensures mission-critical security and regulatory compliance for government agencies and contractors handling sensitive project data. 

IPMDAR Reporting

Cora will generate IPMDAR reports, compiling contract performance, schedule, and narrative datasets. These reports will provide insights into project cost, schedule, and scope, helping agencies assess contractor performance. Built-in templates will align with agency requirements, reducing manual reporting and ensuring compliance with federal contract reporting standards. 

Additional Capabilities

Bid Management

Develop bid proposals linked to execution using structured basis of estimate (BOE) methodologies. Ensure cost estimation accuracy, conduct risk assessments, and align bid strategies with workforce capacity. Enhance transparency in estimating processes to meet government audit and negotiation requirements.

Tripwire DCMA 14-Point Check

Leverage a tripwire rules engine to monitor aerospace and defense project performance and ensure compliance with DCMA EV Guidelines. Automated alerts detect early issues before they affect cost and schedule. The system will run 14-point schedule health checks at regular intervals, driving proactive risk mitigation.

Alternative Hierarchies

Define and manage authorized work elements within control accounts, work packages, and planning structures. Align project structures with elements such as WBS dictionary standards, MIL-STD-881 appendices, and contract performance obligations for streamlined reporting and compliance.

Dynamic Rate Matrix with Burdening

Implement flexible rate structures with burdened cost calculations to ensure precise financial management. Administrators can configure dynamic rate matrices at the project level, applying fixed or percentage-based adjustments for overhead, indirect costs, and government contract pricing models.

Seamless ERP Integration

Enable seamless enterprise-wide data integration through Cora’s iPaaS framework. Synchronize financial and workforce data across platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Workday. The SAP-certified connector ensures direct integration via SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP).

Document Management

Ensure full audit traceability for aerospace and defense program management with time- and user-stamped actions on all project documents. Maintain compliance with government contract regulations by digitizing and organizing documents in a centralized, real-time hub, providing instant access to required data for audits and reporting.
