The Need

The client was looking for a Portfolio Management and Project Management software to deliver high project value to its customers. An expanding customer base had made it challenging for the company to efficiently manage projects and resources as it lacked a tool that could enable easy tracking of multiple projects, their progress and execution.

Rapid business growth required the top-level management to improve project visibility as well as the consistency of decision-making processes. The client’s way of tracking project progress required massive amount of customization to the environment.

With deep extensive experience in Power BI consulting services, the business intelligence consultants integrated Microsoft Power BI that provided global insight into project data and progress. Additionally, our team provided collaborative training to the users rather than individualized help-desk support.
