What our clients say about resource management with Sciforma
“The PMO now has a consolidated overview of capacity requirements over 18 months, categorized by team and by role, for ongoing and upcoming projects.”
Arnaud Montels, PMO
“The impact to our business was that we couldn’t easily answer the question ‘are our resources aligned with our strategic priorities?’ There was an information gap and it was mission critical that we close it.”
Doug Erfle, PMO
“There was not a systematic way to track investments, whether direct project cost or labor resource investments. Using a tool will allow us to track and have a measurement of this to show the true ROI of implementing specific projects.”
