“Good governance internally and externally is absolutely critical for AIMCo.”

"The initial implementation of Project Online took very little time. We started with the portfolio management part and got the overviews that we wanted. Many project managers were familiar with the tool, and getting the collaboration sites to the project was a great advantage to them."

"Using Project Online, we now track how we’re doing against our estimates. Even with just one year of history we show a 23 percent improvement in projects delivered on budget and a 32 percent increase in projects delivered on time."

"By switching to Microsoft Project Online, we significantly reduced our administrative cost burden—by at least 25 percent and perhaps by as much as 50 percent."

"Our cloud fees ended up being substantially less than our previous licensing costs. And by taking advantage of the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, we were able to save a considerable amount of money."

"With Microsoft Project Online, we’ve been able to match IT workload with resources available, consolidate all of our project management data into one system, which has lead to efficiency gains, provided greater visibility of project status, and enabled us to really drill into the quality of the project management."

“Implementing the steps defined in our strategic plan is vital for our growth. We can engage all teams collaboratively through the use of Project Online.”

"Two teams have started using Project Online for timesheets, and it’s been much faster to enter their hours. We also used to have to wait a couple of hours until a project plan was final; now you can create a new plan in a few minutes."

“Project for the web provides intuitive functionality that supports modern ways of working and gives us a central project hub that serves as a baseline for all employees.”

“Technology develops quickly, and we have very long implementation timelines. We won’t get the full benefit of new technological developments unless we can efficiently track and plan projects from end to end.”

"With the workflows in Project Online, our PMO’s project sponsors, demand owners, and other managers stay informed of project status and can more easily manage the various steps throughout the life of the project."

"The Microsoft solution has brought the ability to pull everyone together into one synchronized system that allows for more transparent visibility into what folks are working on."

“A lot of people just weren’t sure where to go for project information because it was stored in different places. And tools were not seamless.”

“You’d have someone start a project in a tool and they would have to resubmit to create awareness of the effort. This would require extra time and rework. There was a lot of confusion.”

"With Project Online, we are able to continuously implement the right projects that align with Cascades business strategy and then execute those projects efficiently."
