Case Study: The Travel Channel achieves centralized portfolio control and SOX‑compliant project management with EPM Live (Microsoft Project on SharePoint)

The Travel Channel Selects EPM Live With Microsoft Project as Their Sharepoint Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) Solution

Travel Channel, a U.S. television network and digital travel content provider reaching millions of viewers and online users, needed to centralize projects and resources to improve portfolio selection, collaboration, risk and document management, and alignment with corporate strategy. They sought better visibility into project impacts, standardized processes, and enforceable controls to protect schedules, budgets and quality.

Using EPM Live with Microsoft Project and SharePoint via a Quick Start deployment, Travel Channel implemented Project Publisher and EPM Live timesheets to publish schedules, track actuals and centralize documentation. The solution delivered faster, standardized project intake and decision-making, improved team communication and compliance (including Sarbanes‑Oxley timesheet requirements), tighter budget/schedule control, and stronger risk prevention and process governance.
