Success Story: Customer Experts

Onepoint Project provides Customer Experts distributed development team with an anywhere/anytime view of project activities and status

Challenge

  • Distributed development team required Web-based access to full project management and progress tracking functionality
  • Multiple assignments per resource on consulting and development projects created resource conflicts
  • Complex project costs planning and reporting to government agencies for partially grant-supported research projects
  • Needed solution which could be implemented rapidly

Solution

  • Onepoint's smart client approach allows project managers, contributors and directors to work effectively over the Web w/o a single client installation
  • Onepoint Project's ad-hoc resource utilization and plan-actual comparison views helped to improve project plan quality significantly
  • Integrated cost baseline and project cost controlling allow for faster and, therefore, more frequent and regular costs projections and reporting
  • Onepoint Project could be installed and was up and running in under one day

Results

  • High acceptance of tool by project managers and contributors
  • Easy-to-use project leadership solution deployed in a very short amount of time
  • Calculated time and costs savings exceeded license investment already after 5 months of usage

"Onepoint Project helped us to discipline ourselves: We tremendously improved our planning and controlling efforts. Project set up time was reduced by more than 50%."
