Planisware is known for its depth in complex project and resource planning, especially in engineering, pharma, and other structured industries. But that depth often comes with layers: multiple modules, long implementations, and heavy configuration overhead.

Keto AI+ is built for teams who need to move faster. One platform. One data model. No bolt-ons or partner lock-ins. Purpose-built for Strategic Portfolio Management, it brings clarity, adaptability, and speed to organizations navigating change across strategy, finance, and transformation.

#### Who uses Keto AI+

Strategy & Transformation teams needing real-time alignment          IT and R&D leaders modernizing their operating model          Finance and PMOs seeking cross-portfolio visibility          Enterprises moving from project management to strategic orchestration

### Why teams move beyond Planisware

##### Built for engineering precision

Planisware shines in highly structured, stage-gated environments, especially where strict controls, deep cost modeling, and long project cycles are the norm. It’s ideal for teams optimising project execution down to the activity level.

##### Today’s needs are portfolio-wide

But many enterprises now need visibility across strategy, finance, and delivery, not just project control. Speed and adaptability matter more than ever. Keto helps leaders see the big picture: what’s moving, what’s stuck, where capacity is overloaded; and make confident decisions about where to invest, pause, or stop.

##### Different lenses, different outcomes

Planisware helps optimise what’s already approved. Keto helps decide what should be approved in the first place, and keeps portfolios strategically aligned as conditions change.

##### It’s not about replacing tools. It’s about steering better

Keto often sits above execution tools, guiding priorities, funding decisions, and resource trade-offs. It’s not a replacement for engineering-grade detail. It’s the layer that keeps everything aligned.
