Case Study: Cancer Research UK achieves transparent multi-partner collaboration and streamlined document management with Planview ProjectPlace

Cancer Research UK - Customer Case Study

Cancer Research UK needed a low‑maintenance, cross‑platform online collaboration tool to coordinate a multi‑organisational European research project involving nine partners (six universities, two commercial partners and CRUK). They required an intuitive system that would be accessible to academics, researchers, software engineers and project managers and that would minimize engineering overhead. Planview ProjectPlace’s Projectplace was selected to meet these needs.

Planview ProjectPlace implemented Projectplace as the project’s central document repository and collaboration platform (used for three years), providing version management to avoid duplication, transparent task coordination and cross‑platform access. The solution gave Cancer Research UK a high level of shared project awareness, streamlined delivery of multi‑partner documents and confidence that the tool’s low maintenance and intuitive interface supported both regular users and administrators.
