Overview
Enterprisewide resource management is a critical process for realising project success. You need flexible software that aligns to your organisation’s business strategy and structure while delivering real-time visibility of the resource trinity: capacity, demand and availability.
Hexagon’s Enterprise Project Performance solution, EcoSys provides a holistic approach to resource planning and management in one platform that integrates project portfolio management, project controls and project management across your enterprise. Manage all types of resources: human, equipment, materials and financial. Plan resources over any time horizon, with short and long-range view for any resource profile. Easily incorporate external resource capacity and demand resources from integrations with scheduling and HR systems.
Key Benefits
Plan and track resources across the enterprise. Produce accurate resource, cost and schedule forecasts. EcoSys enables:
Resource optimisation
Strategic alignment
Integration
Capabilities
EcoSys’ out-of-the-box capability supports resource management functionality within the same software used to manage and control project and portfolio costs, changes and performance. This helps optimise resources and identify idle time across your enterprise.
- Develop detailed resource plans based on capacity, capability and availability.
- Create resource breakdown structures to maintain and prioritise resource attributes such as rates, location and skills.
- Allocate resources in accordance with business goals and priorities.
- Analyze and manage resources to prevent under- and over-utilisation.
- Use resource performance benchmarks during estimate creation and to monitor progress during execution.
- Ensure all stakeholders are involved in the request, evaluation, balancing and assignment process.
- Perform bottleneck analysis to ensure critical tasks are resourced properly.
- Develop detailed demand plans whether by resource type or named resource.
- Create and manage resource requests through an easy-to-use portal with approval workflows.
- Accurately forecast future resource requirements using innovative progress and forecasting methods.
All this ensures you have the resources when and where they’re needed to keep projects running smoothly.
The power of integration
Integrated resource management drives performance
It’s the resources that turn business strategies into reality. EcoSys gives you direct access to resource demand and utilisation across all portfolios, programs and projects. Develop resource capacity plans quickly. Allocate and optimise resources based on project plans and forecasts. Monitor progress and measure performance at the project level to identify potential changes needed to keep projects on track. Built-in reports and dashboards enable early identification of problem areas and bottlenecks.
When availability issues arise or changes occur, rapidly adjust capacity or demand plans. Ensure projects have the resources when and where they’re needed to avoid delays.
Other highlights:
- Automatically leverage data from design, engineering, procurement, construction and asset management systems.
- Integrate resource management with project scheduling to ensure projects are adequately resourced.
- Connect with HRIS systems to automatically update resource data.

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
Human-driven
All tasks completed by human labour; no data is leveraged across the operation.
Human-assisted
Labour is primarily conducted by a human workforce. Some functions have been automated to simplify control.
Partial automation
Some tasks are automated for short periods of time, accompanied by occasional human intervention.
Conditional automation
Human workforce is used for intervention as autonomous operations begin to increase productivity.
Highly autonomous
Autonomous systems complete required tasks within specific bounds, unleashing data and building smart digital realities.
Full autonomy
A smart digital reality™ enables autonomous systems to complete all tasks without human intervention.
