Case Study: Helvetia achieves greater portfolio transparency with ProSymmetry’s Tempus Resource

Helvetia manages 256 projects and clears resource bottlenecks with ProSymmetry

Helvetia, a leading all-lines insurer in Switzerland, faced significant challenges managing its large and diverse portfolio of 256 projects. With numerous projects running in parallel, the company struggled with resource conflicts, a lack of transparency into resource dependencies, and difficulty prioritizing initiatives, particularly within its IT department. To address these issues, Helvetia partnered with vendor ProSymmetry and implemented its Tempus Resource solution for project portfolio management.

ProSymmetry's Tempus Resource provided the visibility Helvetia needed to identify constraints and track all projects in a single tool. The solution was implemented alongside a new governance process with defined roles for resource managers, project managers, and a PPM committee. This enabled proactive identification of resource conflicts, a streamlined rolling 3-month planning process, and easy KPI tracking. The results included guaranteed resource commitments for project managers, empowered resource managers who could prevent over-utilization, and more reliable data that gave management confidence in its prioritization and financial forecasting decisions.
