Case Study: Arm achieves greater project visibility and scalability with Microsoft Corporation's Project Online

Leading tech company improves productivity and introduces scalability to match its growing project portfolio management needs

Arm, the chip developer behind much of the world’s premium smartphone technology, was struggling with an aging on-premises Microsoft Project Server environment that was slowing productivity and couldn’t keep up with rapid growth. As Arm’s workforce doubled and its project portfolio expanded, the company needed a more scalable way to manage projects, improve reporting, and support growing demands across the business using Microsoft Corporation solutions.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Microsoft Project Online, along with Power BI and SharePoint Online, to modernize Arm’s project portfolio management. The new setup improved scalability and resilience, restored lost productivity, and gave Arm real-time visibility into project progress and resource use. Arm also reported a 300% increase in reviews and assessments, plus more accurate R&D reporting that helped secure larger tax credits from government bodies.
