Targetor has provided to ALSO project (since 2006) a solution for administrating, managing and monitoring the strategy process. The request to offer was public and international. The project was large; users were coming from 11 different countries, and the Interreg III Project Management was lead from Italy.

Launching the ALSO Software Application – the ALSO Cube

In order to boost the ALSO Assessment Model’s efficiency s a project assessment instrument, the powerful Targetor Cube software was adapted to steer and manage the model’s implementation. The ALSO software application is designed to enable common public processes. It is a tool for ex-ante, mid-term and ex-post assessment and project monitoring. In this context, it allows users to both test the quality of a new project application for subsequent funding submission (ex-ante) and to enable, accelerate and monitor the implementation of a project in conjunction with the ALSO Assessment Model (mid-term and ex-post). The software application thus constitutes an ideal tool – with easy-to-use interface – to grasp and visualise a project’s approach.

The ALSO application is multifunctional: it can extract project reports, match specific Lisbon Integrated Guidelines for Lisbon pillars with project targets/objectives, show a ranking of best practices, evaluate new projects with the ALSO Assessment Model or search for evaluated projects matching individual users’ needs or expectations. The ALSO Cube, as shown in the picture below, consists of three levels: the Lisbon Strategy, the ALSO Assessment Framework and the project level. The project level is particularly helpful, as it allows the user to find specific information on good practices and to simulate the assessment of a new project (idea or application) by introducing data into an empty cube.
