Case Study: Electrocomponents plc achieves 20–30% faster project cycles and doubles number of change projects delivered with PowerSteering

PowerSteering expedited the delivery of an aggressive five-year strategy for Electrocomponents

Electrocomponents, the global high-service distributor behind RS Components and Allied Electronics, faced an ambitious five-year strategy to deliver more than 150 business-change projects—ranging from SAP and supply-chain improvements to web and customer-experience work—using Prince2, DMAIC and Agile. The company needed faster, more consistent delivery across diverse methodologies while reducing reporting overhead and improving portfolio governance.

Electrocomponents adopted Upland’s PowerSteering to provide top-down portfolio visibility and flexible program management. The tool improved the PM experience and centralized reporting, enabling a 20–30% reduction in project cycle times, a significant cut in reporting overhead, and more than double the number of change projects delivered in the first year.
