How Cisco Systems Capital found success using Project Portfolio Management and watch an on-demand demo of the solution

Cisco Capital, a subsidiary of Cisco, needed a better way to manage strategic initiatives, cross-functional collaboration, and project visibility across a complex global organization. Its existing process relied on manual, static reports that were time-consuming to create and often too outdated to support timely decision-making. Cisco Capital turned to Planview’s Project Portfolio Management solution, then known as AdaptiveWork, to create a more collaborative and technology-led planning framework.

Planview implemented a centralized system with configurable project views, templates, and processes that could be deployed quickly with minimal IT involvement. The result was a single source of truth for project and program information, faster adoption, and much stronger visibility for executives and the PMO. Planview helped Cisco Capital cut project roadmap creation time by 99%, from 4–6 hours to just 1–2 minutes, while also improving collaboration, accountability, portfolio insights, and compliance reporting.
