Case Study: Essilor of America achieves resource visibility and improved project delivery with Planview Enterprise

Essilor of America Gets Visibility into Resources for Improved Project Delivery

Essilor of America, a global leader in optical lenses, faced major portfolio and resource-planning issues within its Enterprise PMO: managing a $20M portfolio (plus $10M in unplanned work) across 29 business units and 150 people with a decade-old tool and spreadsheets left the team with little visibility into resource capacity or skillsets, frequent firefighting, and eroded stakeholder confidence.

Essilor moved to cloud-hosted Planview Enterprise to gain an enterprise portfolio view, enforce prioritization, and enable resource governance and “what-if” scenario planning. Within 30 days the old system was retired and the PMO gained immediate visibility into capacity, demand, and risk, improved resource allocation and talent retention, eliminated error-prone spreadsheets, and restored stakeholder trust across global offices.
