The Clarity system marries the strategic to the tactical. It couples top-down portfolio planning and analysis with bottom-up project, program, financial and process management. The result is a seamlessly integrated Enterprise Portfolio Management system. Clarity gives executives a real time view into their organization’s investments, initiatives and resources, and empowers managers to deliver controlled and predictable execution of projects and programs.

Eight Modules in Enterprise Portfolio Management
Created in a modern web services architecture, the Clarity system is comprised of eight modules, five of which are used by people throughout an organization, while the other three are used to configure and extend the system, automate processes with workflows, and to author best practice processes and methodologies. The system’s modular structure enables phased implementations that can be as small as 20 users focusing on portfolio management or as extensive as 100,000 users utilizing all aspects of the system.

Executive Dashboard for Portfolio Decision Making
Portfolio Management has its roots in financial portfolio management, where investments are inventoried, grouped by value class, scrutinized based on real and projected return, and stratified by risk. Applied to an enterprise's program and system investments, portfolio management provides the framework for structured and rational investment decision making, and for highly productive communications to all stakeholders. Clarity’s Portfolio Management module provides the executive dashboard and 'what-if' capabilities for world class decision making.

Execute with Precision
Portfolio Management is about selecting the right things to do. Project, program and initiative management is about doing them right. Clarity marries Portfolio Management to project, program and initiative management to ensure that decisions that emerge from Portfolio Management are not undermined by poor execution. And, Clarity Projects and Clarity Workbench ensure that programs are delivered on-time, on-budget and on-target.

Robust Planning and Financial Management
Executing on investment decisions requires a considerable amount of support and accounting. Resources—people—are a scarce commodity, especially when specialized skill sets required. Tracking resource usage, then accounting and billing for costs, are necessary financial management elements and are increasingly required for regulatory compliance. Clarity offers robust Resource Planning and Financial Management modules for these vital requirements
