Case Study: Leading Science Organization achieves consolidated project visibility and on-time, on-budget delivery with OpenText PPM

PPM provides deep project insight for improved management reporting and team collaboration

A leading science organization that helps accelerate life sciences research and improve laboratory productivity faced fragmented IT after years of mergers and acquisitions. With more than 100 ERP systems and seven PMOs using disparate tools, leaders lacked consolidated visibility and a single source of truth for project execution; timesheet reconciliation, financial tracking, and early detection of off-track projects were particular pain points.

The company implemented Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM), integrated with PowerBI and hosted on AWS, using incremental database refreshes to deliver 24/7 data access. About 2,500 users now manage ~900 IT projects with real-time financials, resource forecasting, and project health indicators—resulting in better governance, improved team collaboration, and PPM-managed projects consistently delivered on time and on or under budget.
