PROTEUS

Overview

Stove-piped and disparate data sources are common in industry in an effort to select “best-of-breed” software environments. Oftentimes these disparate environments trap information into organizational cul-de-sacs, where otherwise valuable corporate knowledge is orphaned without context as to what other metrics and indicators. Proteus is an integration and intelligence application that connects to project or enterprise information regardless of location, database system or underlying application. It achieves this integration without the use of legacy technologies past their prime, such as cubes or OLAP. 

Access Data wherever it is stored at any time

Since it is based on .NET it can access geographically dispersed data sources over the web as well as secure networks—and because it is built for the Microsoft ® Windows operating environment, it can leverage any layer of your IT infrastructure for integration with your corporate intranet or internet portals.

Leverage your existing toolset.... and extend it too

In essence, Proteus is a virtual multi-application smart client operating across an organization with security attributes for each user or group of users in addition to any security acquired from the database. More significantly, though, Proteus can append and extend underlying applications. So, for example, an organization can integrate cost, schedule, risk, financial and any other project-related information in one place and add any other relevant information such as WBS dictionaries, contract clauses, etc. to that data with Proteus. The Proteus application establishes and maintains relationships between the data, aggregates it at the appropriate level of the organization, allows for management by exception and other analytics, charting and graphing, sorts on required action items and allows the user to correct the data so that it writes back to the originating application’s data source—the ever elusive (until now) single point entry for multiple applications.
