NASCO Case Study: Deliverable-Based Billing with Planview Enterprise
NASCO implemented deliverable-based billing using Planview Enterprise for project planning, financial tracking, and reporting across healthcare IT programs.
NASCO replaced time-based billing with a deliverable-based model requiring payment at three defined gates. The organization used Planview Enterprise to configure work structures, embed payment milestones in WBS templates, manage budget versions, and generate automated reports for finance and project teams. This approach improved data accuracy, reduced manual processes, and aligned cash flow with completed work.
Configured custom work structures in Planview Enterprise to aggregate deliverables, SOW attachments, and programs
Embedded three payment-gate milestones with success criteria into WBS templates for accurate invoicing
Created separate budget versions and lifecycle steps to isolate deliverable-based billing from time-based models
Built four Business Objects reports for budget validation, gate tracking, invoicing, and variance analysis
Reduced manual processes and improved transparency between finance and project management teams
