"Before Orchestra, project managers spent hours consolidating data across tools. Now, reporting is optimized, saving us hours every month. Managers have real-time insights, and stakeholders can access fresh project related data with just a few clicks. The biggest win is the alignment we’ve achieved. Everyone is on the same page, we’ve optimized our processes and can make timely decisions.

"- Vincent Godot, Head of PMO, Essilor
"We have gained much broader visibility to all our projects in real time. That was the primary intent for my colleagues and me to free up our time because we are responsible for answering many questions from various parts of the organization. Now that we have that visibility, it allows us to be much more productive.

The Planisware difference
In addition to being a market leader in adaptive and collaborative PPM for IT, product and work management, and creative projects, Planisware Orchestra offers three clear differentiators:

Built for ease, trusted for results
Planisware works with customers to make it easy to (1) procure an affordable pre-packaged solution, (2) get global implementation and operations support, (3) use its product leveraging its analyst-acclaimed intuitive design and integrated AI technology, and (4) achieve a compelling ROI and minimal payback period.

Seamless integration
Orchestra was designed to be embedded gracefully in your existing IT infrastructure offering easy out-of-the-box and custom (no-code) integrations with commonly used systems and tools for collaboration, personal productivity, financial and people management, reporting/BI, and agile workflows.

Growth path
Orchestra can be pre-configured for low-process maturity environments to get started and more advanced features can be turned on as the team grows and matures. In addition, Planisware provides a straightforward upgrade path to Planisware Enterprise for deployments that are ready for the most functionally mature and scalable solution.
Success stories
"Its design is clear and intuitive, which allows the different users to navigate inside the tool after 1 hour of training. We use it to manage the R&D activity of several laboratories in the world with more than thousand of users and several thousands of projects followed by the system.
"- Thierry J., Manufacturing
"What I/we perhaps like most about the software is the ability to not only plan the project, but assign resources (allocate) at different increments (hours, % of FTE, days) - and to have that information push automatically to the individual owners of those allocations for task management and time reporting.
"- Antonio N., Higher Education
"I enjoyed how easy the software is to navigate, it is easy to switch between information such as projects, resources and users etc. I also believe exports are a key feature that I enjoy the most. Being able to easily grab the information that I need from the system in a ready-to-use format is incredibly helpful.
