real-time decision-making are redefining
how professional services firms operate.

Staying competitive demands leveraging these innovations
to optimize processes, reduce risks, and drive profitability.
Unit4 ERP is at the forefront of these advancements,

Emerging trends in project financial management

The power of AI

AI is transforming project financial management by delivering predictive insights. For example, AI-enhanced resource allocation ensures optimal team deployment across projects, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

Unit4’s Invoice Data Capture Service utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) alongside advanced AI technology, powered by the Microsoft Document Intelligence invoice model, to accurately and efficiently extract essential invoice details.

Unit4’s Advanced Virtual Agent (Ava) works directly within Microsoft Teams and uses natural language prompts from your team to complete routine admin tasks in your ERP. Moreover, Ava can resurface missed or forgotten tasks so that you team can ensure diligence in their everyday tasks, providing cleaner data into your ERP.

Agentic AI has the capability to simplify ERP interactions, increasing adoption and reducing technical requirements of project managers. For instance, when managers need to interact with data – perhaps a request for resource or KPI data regarding a specific project – they can simply request this using natural language, often in a familiar platform like MS Teams.

Real-time, data-driven decisions

Decision-making in today’s fast-paced environment requires up-to-date information. Unit4 ERP provides real-time visibility into financial metrics, enabling firms to monitor project health dynamically.
