Pmads is architected to support full Federal Government PPBE life-cycle planning and management. The data architecture is based on the Federal Budget schema and the DoD 5000. Pmads empowers your stakeholders to drive out-year resource requirements planning. Pmads provides a central knowledge center for your organization's entire PPBE management.

The operational architecture is based on best practices and guidance for program structuring and rigor articulated in MIL-STD-881. Although this is a DoD document often viewed as a Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) manual, the program structuring guidance given in 881 actually provides best practice program management structuring guidance for any Public Sector, Government, or Commercial organization.

Pmads is configurable by your organization to support your operational needs. Pmads is adaptable and flexible through configuration such as:

• Data filters
• Data views and dashboards
• Filed labels, messages, and titles
• Reports creation and layouts
• Workflow templates
• Email message templates
• Program health inspections and tolerance thresholds.

Pmads is built on industry-leading web technologies. As such, Pmads is 100% browser agnostic and works with all leading internet browsers (IE, Safari, Chrome, Firefox).

• No additional client software or browser extensions required
• Screens and reports export to MS Excel and Adobe PDF formats.

Pmads enables organizations to streamline their operations with a simple deployment at a great value.
