evergreen and empower: Built to work together on your Microsoft tenant

evergreen provides the operational and financial foundation for software services firms, connecting client onboarding, project setup, resource planning, delivery activity, and financial data in one governed system.

empower is the decision intelligence layer that sits above systems of record, including evergreen or other platforms already used by the firm. It interprets operational data, applies services-specific context, and uses AI agents and copilots to guide decisions across the project lifecycle.

Because insights are grounded in real firm data, project leaders, finance teams, and operations leaders can detect onboarding delays earlier, monitor project readiness signals, and act quickly to ensure projects become delivery-ready, billing-ready, and compliant from the start.
