| The Project - Business Process Reengineering and Portal Deployment | |
"We have upward of 200 projects running simultaneously at any one time, traditional methods of project and programme management put a hefty strain on our team of Project Managers and in addition we had a linnear growth of staff to projects which wasn't very cost affective. We needed a solution that streamlined our end to end project lifecyle, increased the communication across our enterprise and empowered the Project Managers whilst on the move" |

| "The new portal has transformed how we do business, we have over 100 suppliers and the project managers and myself spend a lot of time in the field with them, checking project progress and making sure the Anthony Holt quality criteria is being met. Normally I would make notes then when I returned to the office I would update the various project plans, now I just update the tasks on my smart phone whilst on the move and all of that admin is automatically done for me. This saves me huge amounts of time and often makes the data more timely and accurate, it really is something to feel good about. |
