Your questions - Our answers

Falcon is a web-based project portfolio management software specialized in transformation and strategy projects. With Falcon you can structure, plan, track and report projects at the push of a button. More about the individual functions can be found here.

Falcon was explicitly developed for strategy and transformation projects. These can be, for example, growth initiatives, efficiency projects, M&A situations or product, organisation or location changes. In our case studies you can read for which projects our customers use Falcon.

Falcon's functions are designed to meet the challenges of demanding strategy and transformation projects. These include an intuitive tree structure, automatic traffic light evaluation in the dimensions of time and (financial) effects, live aggregation of all results and our reporting at the touch of a button. You can learn more about the individual functions here.

Excel is used far too often to manage strategy and transformation projects. But unfortunately, Excel is utterly unsuitable for those cases due to its error-proneness, lack of clarity and lack of multi-user capability. Find out here what problems Excel causes and why Falcon is the better choice.

Falcon is ready to start in just a few clicks. Our Customer Success team supports you with your onboarding and assists you individually during the set-up process. Thanks to the Excel import function, you can transfer existing data to Falcon in just a few steps. In most cases, it only takes two to three weeks from the first step in Falcon to the initial kick-off.

Falcon is intuitive and can be used directly by software and project novices without problems. We support you in using and understanding Falcon with our integrated support chat, help centre and email support. In addition, we offer an extensive training offer - from free online self-training to super-user training in person at your site.

It is difficult to make a general statement about this, as this depends entirely on the individual project and its objective. But: Using Falcon alone is fun but not necessarily useful. Most transformations in Falcon are therefore initiated with only a handful of people at the beginning and then quickly expanded. On average, Falcon begins to unfold its full potential with about 5-10 users - there is no upper limit. We would be happy to help you decide whether Falcon is the right tool for your project. Just schedule a call with us here.

You can add more users to Falcon at any time and adapt your user team to the project situation. Your company account updates automatically, so you don't have to worry about licence management.

In Falcon's permission system, you can assign different rights to individual users or user groups, thus protecting certain data. In addition to the manual assignment of rights, Falcon offers an automatic solution to do this work for you.

Falcon can be used in German and English. Each user can select the desired language in their settings. By the way: Falcon recognises the user's browser language during the initial login and selects the appropriate language on this basis.

With only one click, you can download Falcon's PowerPoint report. Define your CI and choose individually which data sets and detail level your report should have. You can find out more about reporting in our Best Practice resource concerning Cycle & Reporting.

Falcon's price is made up of a basic fee and a per-user price. The pricing depends on the number of users and the payment frequency. We would be happy to help you find the best solution for your project.

Falcon is ready to go very quickly. The exact schedule depends more on you and your company's plan. For example, if you want to use the implementation phase to restructure or further detail your project, perhaps you prefer an implementation over 2-4 weeks instead of a few days. We will follow your lead and assist you for an optimal implementation.

Nordantech uses a variety of methods to protect your data. All data is stored encrypted using AES-256 and transmitted over secure connections. We are proud to exceed applicable industry security standards with Falcon and are constantly working to improve the security, redundancy, stability, and performance of our service. Many of our security procedures are also described on this website.

For the operation of Falcon, we exclusively use our own servers in the German data center (Frankfurt) of our provider Amazon Web Services. The data is stored encrypted using AES-256 within our own private cloud (VPC) and is not accessible to third parties. Additional servers within the EU are also used for the active connection between the front- and backend. A current overview of all subcontracting relationships can be found here.

Nordantech does not become the owner of your data at any time. You, the customer, own and control all content submitted to Falcon. We process your data on your behalf. We do not use or process your data for any other purpose beyond your request. You can find all further information on the handling of your data in our current privacy policy.

The default setting is that all data is stored as long as a Falcon hub exists. All test hubs are automatically deactivated after 30 days and released for deletion after another 3 months. For paid hubs, the situation is different after deactivation. These are archived for a period of 12 months for security reasons and only then released for final deletion. All data released for deletion (also via Falcon's trash function) will be permanently and irretrievably deleted after 3 months. If you wish an earlier manual deletion, please contact us.

All administrators can export all hub data (profiles, schedule, effects, status) at any time. Each export is accompanied by an email with a download link and the location information of the requesting user. The download is then possible for 3 days. After this period, the export file will be deleted.

Of course we have a standard order data processing (so-called ADV contract). This can be concluded at any time. If required, simply contact us personally.

Yes! It ends automatically and without any obligations.

The button "Get started" will take you to the registration for the trial. After entering the required data, you will receive your personal login link via e-mail.

Absolutely. Falcon is most fun when you share it. You can add your colleagues in just a few clicks.

Your access to Falcon ends when your trial period expires. Your data will be stored for 6 months for possible recovery and will be automatically deleted afterwards. Your information will not be accessed by Nordantech or any third party at any time.

No, cancellation is not required. The test phase ends automatically.

Falcon is available to you in a simple and transparent licence model after your trial period. The costs are adapted to the needs of your projects. We are happy to answer any further questions you may have. Find out more about pricing here.

The abbreviation PMO stands for Project Management Office. The PMO's task is to support project participants in planning, implementing and controlling project portfolios. You can find out more about the tasks of a PMO in this blog article.

Project management makes sense once your strategy and transformation projects reach a certain size and complexity. Standard procedures, clear structures and efficient software-supported cooperation can save a great deal of time. This way, the team is freed from administrative tasks and can focus on the project content.

A transformation project can take many forms. Basically, they always involve major changes in a company that affect, for example, the business model, new markets or products, cost structures or acquisitions/divestments of business areas. Learn more about different transformation types.

A complex transformation project should be planned in detail and thoroughly before it starts. Focus topics of the planning phase are the project structure, the clustering of initiatives and measures and the detailed planning of activities, responsibilities and (financial) effects. You can learn more about this in our blog post on project planning.

Falcon offers functions tailored to strategy and transformation projects and structures complex strategy and transformation projects into clear, manageable elements. Through an intuitive interface, simple user management and clear responsibilities, you work in a focused way and with your team on all project content. A progress assessment and aggregation of all details in the schedule and effects into an overall picture enables management, PMOs and project managers to control and report efficiently.
