Case Study: Actility achieves better project synchronization and collaboration with GroupCamp

Smartgrid technology company Actility uses GroupCamp to manage product innovation

Actility, a French smartgrid technology company, needed a better way to keep its sales, engineering, and marketing teams synced across multiple locations. With no dedicated internal IT staff and a growing need to collaborate with clients and partners on innovation projects, the company wanted shared calendars, mobile email sync, and a project management tool beyond email. Actility chose GroupCamp to support this need.

GroupCamp Project, installed from the Google Apps Marketplace, gave Actility a way to create dedicated projects for major clients, control user permissions by role, and sync tasks and milestones automatically to smartphones. With GroupCamp, Actility also used Gmail contextual gadgets to turn customer feedback emails into tasks and assign them to the right project managers, improving inbox processing and project tracking. The result was a more organized, collaborative workflow and a clearer way to monitor progress across client innovation projects, with GroupCamp helping Actility better integrate vertical apps into its office software.
