Case Study: Cisco Capital achieves 99% faster roadmap creation and real-time portfolio visibility with Planview AdaptiveWork

Cisco Capital - Customer Case Study

Cisco Systems Capital, the financing arm of Cisco Systems, centralized its PMO to improve project success across a complex global organization. The team faced inconsistent results, limited visibility into project and portfolio health, poor cross-functional collaboration, difficulty managing multiple work streams, and time-consuming, static reports that took hours to produce and were quickly out of date.

After evaluating cloud solutions, Cisco Capital implemented Clarizen, a configurable, low‑TCO work management platform, with a dedicated success manager and full deployment in two months. The result: a reliable single source of truth, real‑time portfolio visibility, vastly improved cross‑department collaboration and executive insight, easier SOX reporting, and a 99% reduction in roadmap creation time (from 4–6 hours to 1–2 minutes).
