Project controls are evolving fast. But legacy tools like Deltek Acumen Fuse still force teams to slog through complex interfaces, manual forensic analysis, and static reports.
IQ‑Insights is redefining schedule analytics with real-time AI, plain-language interaction, and zero setup overhead.
Where Acumen Fuse Falls Short
Complexity overload: 500+ metrics buried in tabs, dashboards, and setup screens.
Slow time-to-value: Average deployment takes 4–6 months, with heavy IT involvement.
Manual forensic analysis: Comparing schedule versions is a slow, manual process.
No AI capabilities: Cannot answer natural language questions, summarize risks, or explain delays.
Expensive licensing: Starts at $5,000+ per user/year, plus overhead of updates and training.
