Case Study: Air Liquide achieves accurate project time tracking and cost visibility with Visual Planning

Air Liquide - Customer Case Study

Air Liquide, a world leader in industrial and medical gases, needed a better way for its Air Liquide Healthcare IT team (about 30 people supporting 2,500 users across 100+ sites) to manage a high volume of projects and comply with fast-changing regulations. With a portfolio of roughly 20 applications, the IT director was specifically looking for a tool to track time on tasks and evaluate project workloads and costs.

They selected Visual Planning for its configurability, competitive price and user-friendliness, using half-day time entries and drag-and-drop data input. Deployment was fast (installed after one call and two emails) and a one-month pilot refined the setup; by the second half of 2009 the team had validated estimations, achieved precise time tracking and improved risk management and activity-level reporting.
