Tempo

Description/Features

It has often been said that simplicity equals truth. Indeed, simplicity was the motivating factor in the creation of the Tempo plugin.

TM Software presents Tempo, a JIRA plugin that integrates with your favorite ERP or billing solution, making JIRA a central hub for all business activities.When it

comes to issue tracking and project management, JIRA is fast becoming the industry standard.

Up until now, however, companies have been forced to rely on some form of supplementary tracking system in order to handle billing.
The Tempo plug-in solves the problem of multiple solutions by allowing staff to register the full spectrum of their tasks and billable hours through a single web-based interface.

In essence, Tempo unifies the previously disparate realms of issue tracking and issue billing.
To put it another way, Tempo is the bridge that connects JIRA with legacy enterprise solutions such as SAP and Microsoft Navision.

The graphic above distills the Tempo-powered workflow to its root elements:

1. Import billing keys/attributes – Billing data originating in a 3rd-party solution is imported into JIRA via Tempo.
2. Assign billing keys attributes to projects – Imported billing data is attached to a project.
3. Registration of hours – Via Tempo, a project‘s billable hours are seamlessly updated and/or edited
4. Export hours to billing system – At the conclusion of a given billing cycle, billable hours are exported to the originating billing system.

Keep in mind that billing data may travel bi-directionally at any juncture in the Tempo-powered workflow.
The basic steps listed here denote a typical usage pattern. However, in more precise terms, the workflow would be characterized as a continuum, and not a strictly linear process.
