Planisware vs. Prism PPM

While not expensive, it is better suited to larger organizations since the requirement for an administrator is not easily maintained at lower user counts. Although the more a site uses it "out of the box" without configuration, the less the requirement for a system administrator.

I know it works well for IT but not sure how it would work for construction. I think construction has a different set of needs.

• Apply resource algorithms to timelines
• Enterprise wide and scalable

• Users find it easy to use which is important if you have a large number of users who don't have time for a lot of training or when new hires come on-board.
• WorkOtter has a lot of advanced features that we don't use but when we do need one, it is nice to know the feature is waiting for us. We have used several of these features for special projects.
• It does a good job with resource management.

• Organization is still growing and needs to adapt to a rising volume of client needs for consulting, training, core development.
• Major part of corporate oversight is from Europe and is still adapting to US work requirements, responsiveness, communication channels.

• Nothing significant. Maybe could be faster at times but I'm not sure if that is our own internet connection.

• This is always hard to gauge since we don't have metrics for "did nothing" to compare against. An old Business Roundtable white paper indicated that a 10% reduction in expense could be attained, but I don't think a general statement like that applies to any specific organization unless they can say their Project Management Maturity level is low.

• I think it has really helped us make sure we are using resources effectively but I think it is hard to prove. Although we don't have hard ROI numbers, I believe the general feeling is that you really need a good PPM tool or will waste a lot of time and money.
• It helps with communication since we have a standard process.
