Case Study: Widex achieves 30% reduction in cross-departmental resource‑planning man‑hours with Planview Enterprise (Planview)

Widex Implements Project and Portfolio Management with Fast Returns

Widex, a Denmark‑based, family‑owned hearing aid manufacturer with more than 4,000 employees and sales in 100+ countries, faced an outdated and unstable project and portfolio management (PPM) system. About 400 users across 40 roles needed better cross‑department resource planning, yet the legacy tool was slow, error‑prone and not scalable—consuming roughly 4,400 man‑hours a year (≈$300,000) and driving extra consultant costs.

Widex implemented Planview Enterprise in a focused, four‑month Phase 1 rollout for portfolio and resource management using condensed workshops and iterative alignment cycles. The new solution delivered a 30% cut in resource‑planning man‑hours, improved performance, reporting and user support, and the ability to reduce external consultant spend (about 1 in 30 freelancers), with further gains expected as the platform is expanded.
