Case Study: Department of Health improves project portfolio reporting and compliance with Project Portfolio Office

Department of Health - Customer Case Study

The Department of Health (DoH) in South Africa faced significant challenges in managing its R9 billion health infrastructure portfolio across nine provinces. Reporting was a manual, time-consuming process using spreadsheets, leading to inaccurate reporting, project delays, and cost overruns. The National Department of Health (NDoH) needed an integrated project management information system (PMIS) to provide consistent tracking and reporting. They selected the Project Portfolio Office (PPO) application to address this challenge.

The solution from Project Portfolio Office (PPO) was implemented, consolidating over 4,000 projects into a single system within three months. This provided improved data quality and accessibility. PPO’s robust API enabled seamless integration with the National Treasury's system, eliminating duplicate data entry and significantly reducing the time required for manual reporting and consolidation. The result was consistent, accurate reporting and increased operational efficiency for the department.
