Case Study: Austrian Institute of Technology achieves reliable, integrated project portfolio management with smartPM.solutions

Why it is easy for the Austrian Institute of Technology to prioritize the right projects

The Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria's largest non-university research institute, faced a challenge with its comprehensive and opaque Excel-based project and resource management. This led to fluctuating data reliability and a critical need for an intuitive, transparent system to manage its high volume of ongoing projects, particularly for its many scientists. smartPM.solutions provided its Project Performance Management tool to bring confidence in data and create a clear, integrated software solution.

The implementation by smartPM.solutions delivered a stable and reliable database, enabling higher quality decisions and significant time and cost savings in project planning and execution. The results included an enormous increase in efficiency, such as a current overview of eligible costs for all funding projects. smartPM.solutions achieved this with a simple and quick implementation that allowed the customer to become independent from external consultants for system maintenance and further development.
