BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
Product-as-unit architecture changes scope
Nova models product families and variants — not task hierarchies. Migrating from PPM tools needs a 3–6 month data architecture exercise.
04
Financial model depth is phase-linked
P&L modeling ties to development phase milestones. If finance runs actuals at program level w/o phase-gates, Nova's engine surfaces errors.
02
Stage-Gate is pre-opinionated, not blank-canvas
Nova ships with NPD Stage-Gate logic from 30 years of R&D experience. Bespoke gate criteria need extra config beyond standard onboarding.
05
ERP & PLM integrations require REST API scoping
Nova connects to ERP/PLM/DevOps via Planisware Developer Platform REST APIs, not pre-built connectors. Each needs scoping, auth, mapping.
03
Skill-based planning needs clean resource data
Bottleneck surfacing for shared critical roles needs maintained role/skills data — spreadsheet planners must do a taxonomy project first.
06
AI portfolio insights depend on data maturity
Nova's AI risk detection/portfolio insights need enough historical data. New/migrated portfolios see delayed AI effectiveness, ~2-3 cycles.
