ESCATEC installed Microsoft Enterprise Project Management software across its four global facilities to improve efficiency in project handling and resource coordination. The new global system allows all project managers to see resource requirements for both current and future projects, eliminating surprises about capacity. It also runs on servers in Switzerland and Malaysia to reduce latency and ensure stakeholders always have real-time project status and updates. ESCATEC is pleased with the improved coordination and efficiency, and the ability to take on more business securely knowing it can manage resources smoothly.
E110011 Project Management FINAL
- 1. ESCATEC installs Microsoft Enterprise Project Management System throughout the company to help drive growth plans Heerbrugg, Switzerland October 20, 2011 ESCATEC, the EMS innovator, has just installed Microsoft Enterprise Project Management software throughout the company to increase efficiency in project handling and to enable ESCATEC to take on more business. Previously, ESCATEC had used Microsoft Project Management software as a stand-alone application, used in isolation by each Project Manager for their own projects. By moving to the Enterprise version, all projects throughout ESCATECs four facilities around the world can now be viewed simultaneously to ensure that appropriate resources are in place. Ismael Stieger, Project Leader at ESCATECs Project Management Office, said, The problem that we had before was that there was no way to co-ordinate the resource requirements between the various Project Managers. Now, with a global system, we can immediately see what is going on with all projects at any moment in time and, more importantly, we can see the resource requirements looking into the future. This even includes projects that have been quoted for and not yet confirmed. This ability to foresee resources requirements means that we can analyse the impact of new manufacturing contracts and ensure that we have the appropriate capacity, machines and people in place and avoid bottle necks and surprises. The new software runs on two servers one in Switzerland and one in Malaysia to reduce latency. All stakeholders in a project can continually update their contribution to each project so that there is always a real-time status, meaning that problems can be identified immediately and the possible resource impact on any other projects managed or avoided. We are delighted with the way that this new Enterprise software has improved co-ordination and efficiency throughout the company, added Gerhard Klauser, General Manager at ESCATEC Switzerland Not only will customers benefit from all the improved efficiencies, but we can also take on additional business secure in the knowledge that we will not have any unexpected resource constraints.
