What Is Kantata?

Kantata targets professional services organisations that plan people and delivery across multiple engagements. Its resource management and services project forecasting are most relevant when managers need to see availability, committed work and expected financial outcomes together.

Using Kantata in a Real Workflow

A realistic pilot should start with roles, cost rates and existing projects, then test staffing changes and margin reporting. If the organisation’s rate cards or utilisation data are unreliable, implementation will involve cleaning that data before forecasts can support decisions.

Is Your Firm Ready for Kantata?

  • You staff consultants across many concurrent projects
  • Utilisation and margin are reported to leadership regularly
  • Rate cards, roles and skills are defined and kept up to date
  • You can dedicate an internal owner and implementation time

Planning the Implementation

Kantata implementations work best when data is cleaned first. Standardise role names, cost and bill rates, and project codes before migration. Start with resource management and time tracking, then add forecasting and financial reporting once the team trusts the data. Ask the vendor for a timeline and references from firms of a similar size.

Who Should Use Kantata?

Kantata does not publish a dependable starting subscription price. Request separate costs for licensing, implementation, integrations and support, and confirm how internal users and business units affect the contract. A small team needing only task tracking is unlikely to use enough of its depth.

Starting price: Contact sales. Model: Custom contract based on organisation and requirements.

Worked exampleA 100-person services organisation must request a tailored quote; compare the annual subscription, implementation, integrations and support as separate line items.
