Project Database

Last couple of days at office has been tiring. Its tiring not because of the amount of work, but because any information that I want is answered with the same response – "we do not track this kind of data." :(

For e.g.,

How many projects are executed in the company until now?

What is the average project size?

Can you categorize the number of projects executed as development, maintenance, modernization, advisory solutions, etc.?

How many resources are certified in X, Y, Z technologies?

How many resources you have in X technologies in A, B, C regions?

And many more…

Which has made me wonder – "Isn't it important for any company to have the data regarding their day to day operations? Especially if you want to sell your company isn't all the above questions important? Why is it not tracked?"

Seriously, if you are a software company and you say you do not have software which has the information on projects and people in your company, doesn't it sound odd?

I think there is a huge market for a product which can capture all the information about the projects executed in the company, something like a PROJECT DATABASE.
