Case Study Intercable Group –
M365 Project Management

The Company
Intercable was founded in 1972 and has long-lasting roots in Brunico / South Tyrol. The Intercable Group supplies automotive manufacturers with connectors and busbars for hybrid and electric vehicles. It has also made a name for itself as a manufacturer of insulated and hydraulic tools and connectors for electrical wholesalers and industry. With more than 2250 employees at 19 branches, Intercable stands for innovation, speed and quality.

The Challenge
The Excel list previously used to manage a large number of IT projects could no longer meet the requirements and was prone to errors. As the company grew, the project and portfolio management (PPM) had to become more efficient and, of course, enable better reporting to management. What was needed was a tool that was cloud-based, modular, expandable and therefore future-proof. In addition, it should integrate into the existing Microsoft system landscape in the best possible way.
 
The Solution
The TPG ProjectPowerPack product is built on the Microsoft Power Platform and uses Microsoft Project for the Web scheduling as its core. With Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, the application uses the latest Microsoft technology and is highly future-proof. The full integration of Microsoft Teams allows new users to get started quickly and complete their tasks in a familiar software environment. Due to the subscription model, the costs remain transparent.

The Benefits
The PPM application grows with the demands placed on it: Starting with a basic configuration that includes only the essential project management disciplines, it can be successively expanded with new functionalities as required. It can be used both by employees and by external project participants. Its usability ensures a high level of acceptance. Comprehensive reporting improves portfolio control and increases transparency for top management.
