What is Unanet?

Unanet provides ERP and CRM solutions purpose-built for government contractors, AEC and professional services firms.

For many project-driven organizations, Unanet is where actual costs are recorded: labor time, expenses, vendor invoices and journal entries. In earned value terms, those actuals are your ACWP, the actual cost of work performed. Getting them into your EVM system accurately, every period, is what keeps your cost variances and forecasts trustworthy.

Where Unanet and EVMS forProject meet

  • Unanet records time, expenses and costs
  • EVMS forProject holds the budget, schedule and earned value
  • The connector brings Unanet actuals in as ACWP
  • Variances, EACs and reports use the same actuals as your books

Four kinds of actual cost, one ACWP

The connector reads export templates you set up in Unanet and imports each kind of cost into EVMS forProject by period.
