Case Study: REGIOCAST achieves transparent resource management and on-time project execution with Planforge (formerly ONEPOINT)

A nationwide German operating radio broadcast company creates transparency and optimizes its resource allocation and utilization

REGIOCAST is a German radio company with more than 450 employees and nearly nine million daily listeners that struggled to manage over 90 concurrent IT and broadcast projects. Project visibility and resource planning were poor (only ~50% of capacity was planned into projects), leading to delays, overloaded staff and a major bottleneck during a 2014 transmitter relocation. After trialing solutions, REGIOCAST selected Planforge (formerly ONEPOINT) and licensed the Planforge server version in 2016 to address these challenges.

Planforge implemented its server-based project and resource planning platform with short introductory workshops, then expanded use of its Reports, "My Work" area, time tracking, lean projects and portfolio analysis. Within two years REGIOCAST established a PMO, gained real-time top‑management visibility into workload, could estimate the year’s resource capacity and avoided starting 3–4 projects that would have overloaded staff — reducing delays and standardizing project creation, documentation and controlling thanks to Planforge.
