dTIMS (formerly known as dTIMS ix) offers an off-the-shelf complement to dTIMS CT, with access to its useful planning information and powerful, forward-looking functionality through a secure, browser-based window. Focus on the decision support information you need to make informed decisions rather than the process of generating background information.

Making Informed Strategic Decisions Faster and Easier

Because dTIMS is linked to dTIMS CT, you can be confident that the information your management decisions rely on is backed by sound tactical-level programs that expose the project-level impact of proposed policy and budget changes. These impacts can then be translated into visual maps and charts for review and publication. With detailed and substantive backup information, you avoid the risk of relying on diluted strategic information.

dTIMS was developed with your perspective and needs in mind, offering simplicity of use, accurate data translation, and superb decision support.
