Program Management with MS Project Server

Speeding up high-tech development

The Company: An international manufacturer of microelectronic devices.

The Challenge: In its battle for market share in the electronic device segment, the company noticed that its existing multi-project management system was under significant strain. It was virtually incapable of handling the increasing complexity of the functions to be developed and tighter delivery deadlines. The system was based on Microsoft Project Client and Excel spreadsheets.

The Solution: Implementation of Microsoft Project Server together with the TPG ProjectLink product. This gave the company a centralized, multi-project management solution that was integrated with existing databases for more transparency and flexibility throughout the planning process.

The Benefits: The TPG ProjectLink solution provides clear benefits to users at the microelectronic device firm. They have much more visibility into their own planning as well as easy access to task information in the Microsoft Project schedule, making their everyday project work much easier. This has led to immediate acceptance of the solution by all users and a significant increase in efficiency in the management of development tasks.
