Enhanced project management and automation simplify reporting and approval processes
I think that Adobe Workfront could be improved in several areas, including reporting, which I've already mentioned. There are very specific things within the custom forms that I think could be improved, such as having different labels within forms instead of system-wide. The ability to hide options in a drop-down at the custom form level instead of system-wide would be another improvement. There are times we have to create brand new fields because we need slightly different wording within the label. If we had the capability, we could easily trim down from over 1,000 custom fields to about 400 custom fields if we had the ability to have individual labels by form. So reporting is a big one, and I think there are some not huge changes needed, but improvements to custom forms and custom fields would be beneficial. My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better. The ability to report is great, but I think it is too difficult. Regarding dashboards, they are crucial to be able to pull information from different levels, but that's also a negative because it is very difficult to do that on a report. If I have issue-level data and project-level data that I need to see, with some custom coding, you can do some of it in a report, but in general, if you have a lot of that blended data between levels, you need to use a dashboard, which requires two different reports due to the difficulty in pulling data at the different levels into one thing.

Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel
* Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel * Demand management: It helps in planning methodology used to forecast or predict, plan for and manage the demand for products and services. * Finance planning & analysis: It helps accelerate planning cycles and make decisions based on real-time financial insights. It supports budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, performance management, and more. These features can help you track and control costs, and tightly align operations with business strategy, and control the allocated or budgeted costs vs. actual and forecasted cost. * Portfolio management: It is one of the very important functions in this space because in my view it is the function that ensures that the portfolio of IT projects, applications and infrastructure are providing cost-effective benefits to the organization. It is the centralized management of the processes, methods, and technologies used by project managers and project management offices to analyze and manage projects.
