Realization Technologies
About us
Realization provides flow-based planning and execution software that helps companies finish their projects 20 to 50 percent faster. Founded in 1998, we have been profitable and cash flow positive from Day One. We reinvest our profits to keep making our solutions easier and more effective, leading to a series of industry firsts including:
  • The first web-based project management software
  • The first multi-project planning and execution software
  • The first engineering planning and execution software
Its clients have already realized more than $3.5B in additional cash and profits by bringing new products to market faster, by reducing the downtime of aircraft and factories, and by finishing infrastructure projects on time. For their groundbreaking results, Realization and its clients have received multiple awards including the Franz Edelman award (the "super bowl" of operations research), the Shingo Prize and the US Air Force Chief of Staff Excellence award.

Compared to the heavy planning and scheduling systems offered by companies like Oracle, Realization's software not only delivers more value but also is more practical.
