Patent ID: 8234137

Claim:
A computer processor implemented method of gathering data from a plurality of sources including a current database and a historical database and organizing the data as an official report for a pre-defined reporting cutoff date to be displayed on a display device under control of a software package and further providing access to said data via a web portal, comprising a processor executing a plurality of steps of: a. establishing the pre-defined reporting cutoff date so as to provide a status of a project at a moment in time; b. saving data from the current database into the historical database to backup said data for every cutoff period and enable tracing of trends for the project; b-I. retrieving raw or processed data from at least two pre-existing software programs of a user-client; b-2. storing said raw or processed data into a OneView data warehouse, wherein said OneView data warehouse comprises a plurality of parts including cost, scheduling, funding, and status/issue parts; c. providing an update to a work breakdown structure; d. updating cost data using the OneView data warehouse; e. repeating step d if the cost data update is not completed; f. updating scheduling data using the OneView data warehouse; g. repeating step f if the scheduling data update is not completed; h. updating funding data using the OneView data warehouse; i. repeating step h if the funding data update is not completed; j. updating status/issue data using the OneView data warehouse; k repeating step j if the status/issue data update is not completed; l. generating a preliminary report using the updated cost, scheduling, funding, and status/issue data; m. presenting the preliminary report for accuracy; n. determining whether any further updates are needed; o. repeating from steps c to n if it is determined that further updating are needed; p. generating the official report for the pre-defined reporting cutoff date using the respective updated and/or further updated cost, scheduling, funding, and status/issue data; q. displaying the official report on the display device, via said web portal, under control of the software package; r. providing real-time information access to said OneView data warehouse and customized status reports via said web portal, wherein said web portal includes frames including a work breakdown structure (WBS) tree, function tabs, and a report frame and further allows said tracing of trends for said project; s. receiving selections of said report frame and either a node of said WBS tree or said function tab; and t. generating a status report of said customized status reports based on said selections.
