"With faster report production in Project Server 2013, project managers can make faster decisions. This accelerates our pace of business and helps us be more competitive in fast-moving electronics markets."
“We consider Project Online absolutely critical to the new way we do business. Within our 10 programs, internal resources—between 20 and 30 percent of total costs—ebb and flow over time. As we look at the whole portfolio, we can tweak resource allocation and timelines across programs. We use the same number of people but more intelligently, so we are more efficient and deliver more revenue.”
"Once in a while, we receive positive feedback about how we’ve transformed a job—and the lives of the people who do it—from difficult to straightforward. That’s a great feeling. It’s what digital transformation is all about."
"Scientists love driving knowledge, learning new things. Most hate doing admin stuff."

"Overall, Project Online has become a strategic corporate planning tool for us."
“With Project Online, we will have a much better cadence with rolling out new programs. It will truly support our change management efforts on what gets introduced and what to expect from a community operations standpoint.”

"Microsoft Project is brilliant for reporting. In fact, we’ve changed the format for project board meetings, viewing data from Microsoft Project in real time. Now, rather than questioning the accuracy of data and moving it from one system to the other, we confidently focus on using it productively."
“Without our data transferring in real time to the overall project portfolio, decisions for critical projects could be delayed.”
"We use Microsoft Project for faster, better decision making, at 10 percent greater overall project management efficiency. With the previous tool, we couldn’t have delivered the current £100 million in capital projects. Our project teams deliver larger, more complex infrastructure projects now that we have the right tool—Project."
"We have more time to spend on value-added efforts around assurance, keeping delivery on track and managing risk. Since the firm’s adoption of Project Online, the focus of the P3O office has definitely changed for the better."
"With Project Online, we are able to continuously implement the right projects that align with Cascades business strategy and then execute those projects efficiently."
