ADM - Building a global, resource focused decision-making process
ADM Global technology had been using Planisware for 18 months when they decided to make a push for the Resource Management capabilities of the tool. At the time of the initial implementation, ADM Global Technology realized that Planisware Enterprise was going to be the main recipient for all their portfolio-level data. From that step, ADM built their processes around the Resource Management capabilities of Planisware, facilitating the collaboration between teams (Portfolio Management, Resource, and Project Managers) and increasing the alignment towards the goals by improving tracking and reporting. ADM was able to accelerate delivery and visibility in their PMO, centralize financial and resources data to improve prioritization, as well achieve more visibility for their executive teams and business partners, enabling more informed decision-making.

Bristol-Myers Squibb - Implementing a Project Planning Center of Excellence
In 2020 a "New” Bristol Myers Squibb was formed after the merger with Celgene. The larger company, with a more diverse portfolioand integrated systems, introduced data quality challenges. An initiative sponsored to assess core R&D Operations capabilities across Project Management, Resource Management, Financial Management, and Portfolio Management identified data quality improvement opportunities in Project Planning. A collaboration between Project Management, Project Planning, and Business Capabilities was created as the Project Planning Center of Excellence (PPCOE) to define good planning practices, standards and definitions in order to utilize ePlan(BMS implementation of Planisware) as the “One Source of Truth” for the R&D Book of Work (BoW). A group of data quality queries and reports were created in ePlanto enable the project planners and reduced data quality errors by 60% and reached a target of 99.5% accuracy
Amgen - For establishing a cross-functional truth with Project Mercury
When the question “what was the launch date for a particular program” was asked, it would take give days to get different answers from various program leads across the country. Additionally, executive staff would spend time collating this information into static documents for leadership to view. For Amgen, establishing a single cross-functional truth was necessary for their drug portfolio. Project Mercury was proposed to anchor all PPM and PPM-adjacent data from Planisware Enterprise into a single Data Lake, then the data surfaced through a single set of Tableau dashboards accessed by leadership. Change management was executed for company alignment on data ownership and that the data was authoritative. Additionally, other functions developed complementary analytics using Mercury data instead of competing ones. Having an established cross-functional truth with Mercury reduced the time it to took to answer questions, plus monitor and improve the speed of development of their drug development portfolio.
