Novatia
The solution
The implementation of new systems is often a contributing factor to the reluctance to change. Novatia found the migration from their old system to PROJECTminder straightforward and unproblematic.
What they said...
“We found that inputting the data into the setup spreadsheet was a very helpful exercise to go through. We were impressed with the way we could setup the entire PROJECTminder system based on this single spreadsheet. It is a very good principle. The customer support team at IRIS PROJECTminder were a great help and continue to be very responsive. Our queries are always dealt with very quickly.”
By making redundant their previous manual system and employing PROJECTminder, Novatia have saved up to 1 hour per month just on billing clients, and half an hour per week on timesheets.
The implementation of PROJECTminder has also improved the visibility of projects to all Novatia staff.
What they said...
“The news page is simple but effective as it can be used to convey messages to all staff that are using the system whenever they log in. Before, staff could not access live project information; now everyone has access to live project information from wherever they are.”
Novatia have found the reporting aspect of PROJECTminder particularly valuable in providing resource utilisation reports, actual time vs. budgeted time reports and a comprehensive job list.
What they said...
“By ensuring that all time is logged, PROJECTminder provides an exact representation of the resourcing of users. This has strengthened our outlook by enabling us to accurately compare resourced time against logged time.”
