"Project Insight centralizes and manages all project information. We have a good view of all projects. We are able to manage day to day projects and know who was working on what and what phase the projects are in."

Main Challenges

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) was using AtTask – now known as Workfront. A year into the usage of the software, AAP began facing greater problems. The project management tool proved not to be a good fit for all team members. Constant changes and new features in the software made it dificult for the team to keep up and caused several bugs in the application.

  • Gantt chart was buggy
  • Data was lost in the project management software
  • Unsatisfied with the help system
  • Weak reporting features
  • Dificulty importing and exporting data to MS Project
Why PI®

After considering Microsoft Online PM Suite and EPM Live, the key driver to selecting Project Insight was that it was cost effective and fit for business needs.

  • User-friendly and cost effective
  • Resource allocation
  • Powerful time tracking and reporting features
  • Ability to integrate their help desk with Project Insight
Outcome

AAP project managers can get real metrics and manage their resources and workloads in one place.

  • Centralized, web-based project management
  • Effective resource allocation
  • Simple way to track time and project status
  • Delivered useful metrics and reports
