Challenges
From enabling a next-generation energy grid, to undertaking ambitious, large-scale underground projects and catering to the surging demand for electricity due to the shift to electric vehicles, the tasks are monumental. To best empower their internal customers, the IT team had to modernize their project, product, and portfolio management capability. They trusted Planisware for this.
For decades, their IT team leveraged various single point solutions across a large portfolio of infrastructure initiatives and applications, using Safe, Agile and Waterfall methodologies. The lack of integrations across these solutions caused a lot of inefficiencies for project managers, often having to work double or triple the time necessary to get things done.
While productivity gains were certainly critical for the delivery teams, finally gaining full portfolio visibility was the primary driver from leadership. With various applications in place, it was exceedingly difficult for leaders to get a real-time and trustworthy single view of everything happening within their portfolios.
The head of the IT department in charge of project compliance, auditing, project management tools and oversight was tasked to find a single solution to consolidate the book of work. This solution had to provide better visibility into the portfolios, enhance decision making, and improve efficiency.
Planisware had the feature set to cover both the project management and the portfolio management level. Planisware really stood out in their consulting and implementation teams and the way they proposed to come in and implement the products for us because they have experience in both IT and construction.”
