With deep-learning AI capabilities, Eightfold Resource Management empowers organizations to identify and deploy the right employees with the necessary skills and experiences for both internal and external projects.

Addressing challenges in workforce practices

• Staffing projects has become a painful process due to manual and outdated resource management practices.
• Decentralized staffing information, often scattered across spreadsheets, leads to poor visibility into talent availability and skill matching.
• Until now, work assignments were based on availability rather than skill set, resulting in sub-optimal resource utilization. Organizations may also struggle to understand their people’s availability and skill utilization across the organization.
• Skills are rarely considered when making staffing decisions.

Eightfold's Resource Management addresses these challenges head-on by providing a centralized platform for finding and booking the right resources for each project or engagement. Specifically designed for project-based work, our solution offers the complexity, detail, workflows, and configurability needed to streamline resource allocation.
