Case Study: City & Guilds achieves 75% reduction in project reporting and significant cost savings with KeyedIn Solutions

KeyedIn Projects provides City and Guilds with more efficient project planning, plus significant cost savings by optimizing internal resource usage versus contractor resource reliance

City & Guilds, the UK-based vocational education leader serving two million learners and operating in over 80 countries, needed better oversight of a $50M project portfolio managed by a 40-person PMO and 50 report users. The PMO struggled with manual, disparate processes and relied on PowerPoint, Excel and MS Project for planning and reporting, limiting visibility, slowing decision-making and increasing dependence on contractor resources.

After a formal evaluation, C&G implemented KeyedIn Projects, a cloud-based PPM solution prototyped and rolled out in phases. Centralized data and on-screen simplicity improved project planning and internal resource allocation, delivered significant cost savings versus contractor reliance, and cut project management dashboard reporting time by 75%, while making executive reporting faster and more consistent.
