The National Computing Centre published the above article on their site back in July 2009.
Whilst this was a little over a year ago it is apparent that people were at that time generally unhappy with the tools that PPM software provided, and likely still are.
CredAbility believes that this demonstrates the build, structure and pricing model that we use is exactly what our Clients and Prospects want, and looks to be streets ahead of the competition.
- 31% of companies find it difficult to manage a portfolio of inter-dependent projects - Specific functionality facilitates the grouping and linking of inter-dependant projects.
- Only 24% of the sample say that their current PPM tools allow them to create a consolidated view across different projects, whereas 46% acknowledge they cannot do this. - Hierarchical structure presents a holistic view down from the Company/Corporate through the Portfolios/Programmes into the Projects and Workstreams, presenting RAG and Trending Status Reports at any level.
- 76% want improved project visibility, 70% want improved resource allocation - Visibility and navigation is clear (subject to User Profiles), Resource allocation can be reported on at any level.
- Barriers : cost and difficulty of implementation (46%) - Zero Cost, SaaS
- Barriers : cost of the software (46%) - Based on a per User per Month basis, starting at £9.50 with volume discounts available. User volumes entirely in Clients Control, ramp up for large projects, reduce down when not required.
- 43% using web-based PPM solutions - CredAbility is primarily SaaS.
- 19% standalone solutions - Site installation is possible.
As you will see by linking to the CredAbility Site, the tools currently included within CredAbility include Requirements, Actions, Risks, Issues, Change Control, Defect Management, Time Management and Financial Planning & Control,so with a zero implementation cost, and such a low User Subscription cost, we believe that we are second to none.
