Case Study: Bybanen achieves secure, streamlined international collaboration with Planview ProjectPlace

The Bergen Light Rail project managed by Projectplace

Bybanen (the Bergen Light Rail project) needed a secure, auditable way to share plans and documents with a large, international set of consultants and subcontractors because the county authority's servers could not be opened to external players. To solve that challenge, Bybanen adopted Planview ProjectPlace as its collaboration and document-sharing platform.

Planview ProjectPlace provided role‑based access, clear version control, a searchable digital archive and online meeting capabilities, enabling Bybanen to coordinate roughly 1,000 users across many countries. The result was fewer travel expenses for foreign partners, reduced paper and misunderstandings, better oversight of subprojects through grouped daily/weekly updates, and a self‑governing project structure that Planview ProjectPlace continues to support for future construction phases.
