Questions on validating data between platforms

  • The CW PSA shows 3 hours of labor on a labor cost report. Cognition360 shows 1.7 hours. The difference is Cognition360 more accurately using Actual Hours versus Billable Hours for Costing Reports.
  • Another reporting tool showing 2 hours of Labor on an Agreement. Cognition360 reporting showing 5 hours. The difference being Cognition360 showing all hours whether they are billable or not because they still have a cost included for profitability reporting. 
  • An accounting tool showing billings to your client that differ from Cognition360 Reporting. Our reporting as well as the CW PSA show profitability at the Agreement level. This enables you to track how profitable your agreements are, where its important to focus.
