AI for earned value management

Enabling agentic
user experiences
for the enterprise.

Bring AI into the work of enterprise earned value management: the analyst’s question, the CAM’s explanation and the program leader’s next decision.

VAR Studio and Empower CLI connect trusted program information to new ways of working. CLI Trainer helps teams learn the operations; OData connects business intelligence; our AI video production brings specialist CAM training up to date.

01 / Explain and review

VAR Studio

In development

Bring the narrative and its evidence together.

A variance explanation has to stand up to questions. VAR Studio brings the draft, supporting Empower evidence and AI-proposed revisions into one workspace, so analysts can judge each change in context.

The control account manager keeps responsibility for the explanation. Empower CLI connects the workspace to native narrative and workflow operations under the user’s Empower permissions.

  • Review proposed changes by section: accept, reject or undo.
  • Inspect evidence for the selected contract, reporting period and work breakdown element.
  • Keep the explanation connected to the official Empower record.

02 / Enable new experiences

Empower CLI

Windows · macOS · Linux

Build the experience around the work.

Give applications and agents clear ways to work with Encore Analytics Empower. Empower CLI enables them to discover relevant evidence, bring it into a purpose-built workspace and support a person’s next step.

VAR Studio shows how that connection can change variance analysis. The CLI supplies source operations and reporting context; the application supplies the experience and AI assistance. Empower remains the source of record.

  • Give agents documented operations and structured results.
  • Keep contract, period and scope with the evidence they use.
  • Follow native permissions and explicitly confirm permitted Input writes.

Keep the expertise. Update the training.

For Humphreys & Associates, KUON rebuilt Control Account Manager review preparation as a maintainable AI video course. The H&A Education Team guided the instruction and domain review; KUON controlled the AI production.

  • Incorporate current practices and policy updates into the course.
  • Maintain consistent EVM terminology, pronunciation, casting and scenes.

05 / Report in your BI tools

Empower OData

Illustrated Power BI portfolio demonstration using Empower program data.

Bring Empower into Power BI and Excel.

A read-only OData feed built on Empower CLI reads. Typed views and checks against Empower’s own exports help catch discrepancies before they reach a dashboard. Reporting reflects the data available at refresh.

  • Keep reporting context and provenance with the data.
  • Rebuild aggregate cost and schedule indices from summed components.
