Case Study: ELE Engineering improves utilization by 3% and drives profitability with Deltek People Planner

Grows amidst a tough economic climate with Deltek People Planner

ELE Engineering is a Swedish technology consulting firm that grew rapidly from 20 to 80 people amid a challenging global engineering market. During this expansion the company relied on Excel spreadsheets and had little visibility into who was assigned or available, making accurate project resourcing and future planning difficult and limiting profitability.

ELE chose Deltek People Planner as a standalone resource-management solution and was up and running in weeks. The tool provided visibility by skills and availability, eliminated spreadsheet tracking, improved planning and reporting, and allowed managers to quickly allocate idle staff to billable work—raising utilization by 3%—while boosting job satisfaction, retention and overall profitability.
