Case Study: Functional Methods achieves streamlined, transparent project management with DeskAway

Functional Methods - Customer Case Study

Functional Methods, a U.S. consulting firm led by Managing Director Chris Peters, needed a single, secure online workspace to manage client engagements and internal operations—tracking projects, milestones and tasks, storing documents, and coordinating local and remote teams. After evaluating multiple tools (AtTask, OpenAir, Basecamp), they wanted a fast, simple solution that would reduce email overload and avoid per-user cost complexity.

DeskAway provided online client workspaces with project/milestone/task tracking, file storage, collaboration and reporting, and a very short learning curve for internal and external users. The outcome was greater transparency, accountability and clarity, much less emailing, more effective management of distributed teams, predictable flat-fee pricing, and strong performance and support—leading Functional Methods to expand DeskAway across its projects.
