23. “
Case Study
Prior to implementing Project Online, controlling our
projects and resources was a manual process. Now, it’s
three clicks of a mouse and we’ve got that information for
a person, team, or skills set. We can cut and dice the data
to make fast, intelligent resourcing decisions
Working with Wellingtone felt like a true partnership. They
provided their recommendations and expertise. I would
encourage any business considering Project Online to
explore the technology’s benefits and Wellingtone’s
services
In the old days, we managed most of our projects via Excel
spreadsheets and manual, individual processes. We
needed a more mature approach to help us efficiently
meet our customers’ needs
24. ”
“
Case Study
It has made an enormous difference in areas such as
highlight reporting. …the reports we can draw out now
give us total visibility at the touch of a button. This makes
us a more efficient
I would recommend Wellingtone due to their
approachability, flexibility and expert grounding in the
world of project management. That’s their focus. It’s not
just about software implementation for them
We recognised that the right tool would help us equip our
people to document risks, issues, actions and plans in a
more consistent way, enabling us to take a helicopter view
of our project portfolio. At the same time, we needed a
cost-effective option, which was a key factor in the choice
of a Cloud-based solution.

31. Benefits Realisation
Minimum requirement for phase one was to integrate all of the project and resourcing information we
already had into the new system, giving a single source of truth going forwards.
In April 2017 the first baselining benchmark, internal
Resources were showing as 20% overallocated.
By February 2018 this was down to 5%
Improved visibility of
project performance.
Increased project
management
performance and
throughput.
Better informed
decision making by
governance and
management boards.
Cloud-based SaaS
PPM solution,
meaning no upgrade
costs.
We were spending a lot of time manually pulling together risk issue management and reporting documents.
Needed to invest in a tool that would streamline the efficiency of the PMO and its project portfolio.
Average reporting
time has reduced
from 1.5 hours to just
20 minutes.
Success rate in
achieving reporting
targets has increased
from 77% to 95%
Within the same timescales, previously 25% of
projects weren’t reporting to desired timescales.
By Feb 2018 that number was down to 5.20%
Estimated time-
savings have been
worth £10,000 (non-
cashable) per annum.
