Case Study: Life Sciences R&D Group achieves control of resources, costs, and benefits with KeyedIn Solutions

A Life Sciences R&D Group Gains Control over Resources, Costs, and Benefits

A global agricultural life‑sciences R&D organization with about 3,000 employees running up to 600 active projects across 60+ countries faced fragmented, siloed project processes that limited top‑down visibility, resource forecasting and governance. PMO leaders also needed to preserve decades of local system history (e.g., SharePoint), support multiple languages and currencies, and standardize practices across units with varying PMO maturity.

The company implemented KeyedIn Projects’ cloud PPM after a proof‑of‑concept, keeping historical data, enabling multi‑currency/multi‑language templates, mobile access and scalable integrations. The solution consolidated five global business units, improved forecasting (projected millions in savings), cut product development time, recovered thousands of labor hours previously spent on spreadsheets, and delivered enterprise visibility and faster go/no‑go decisions with strong user adoption.
