We would do a weekly setup and then at the end of the week review with our key stakeholders.
It seems to take a while once a ticket is submitted for an issue to get resolved.
It is still a struggle to get users to understand how important the tool can help their organization at times.
Yes, but I don't use it

It is currently being used by IT Project Managers to enter Project Plans, Project Status and used for Portfolio reporting.
  • SAAS Solution, no local servers required
  • Ease of Use
  • The product is unstable.
  • No undo/undelete feature.
  • Project completion can only be either 100% or 0%
  • Time consuming to update project plan tasks.
  • Difficult to use for projects over 500 tasks
Can you manage projects over 1000 tasks easily?
  • We have now have a centralized repository for IT Project Plans.
  • We now having a reporting mechanism to view status of all IT Projects
  • clarity,protivity
Clarity is a much more feature rich product.
Innotas is easier to implement and use.
The product is doing what it has been expected to do.
Good for small to medium projects, as well as, time keeping.
Innotas is very rarely down if at all.

The City of Tacoma has two seperate instances of Innotas. One is being utilized by the centralized IT Department's Business Solutions team to manage it's portfolio of SAP, Web and Information Services projects for all City of Tacoma departments. Tacoma Public Utilities Project Management team also recently implemented an instance in an effor to improve scheduling and tracking of all utility technology projects. Along with the basics of the project approval and scheduling process, there is a large focus on resource planning, time tracking and KPI reporting.

Some of the main organiational pain points being addressed by this tool include:
1) A distinct project approval and prioritization path based on a clearly defined methodology and criteria.
2) A clear picture of resource allocation and capacity.
3) Tracking estimates vs actuals and monitoring commitments to ensure service level agreements are being met.
4) Gaining a factual representation of actual work being delivered to each customer.
  • Incredible tool for the integration of project, portfolio and asset management.
  • Talented, professional and service oriented support staff.
  • Always focused on technological advancement and product improvement.
  • Needs simplification of reporting capabilities.
  • During implementation, needs to improve upon understanding the customer base and their processes so that the customer can be guided how to get the best utlization of the program for their needs. Continual hands-on support and review of the customer's system could be helpful as new capabilities are implemented.
  • Could use a slicker look and feel to the resource capacity planning process/screens.
Innotas is progressive; focused on constant improvement and continually adding value to their product. If your organization does not have a solid change management process in place that will allow for the regular integration of these improvements, updating processes and providing the training necessary to get the most out of the tool, then you may want to reconsider this investment.
  • Transparent project portfolio management
  • Improved resource management
  • More reliable project reporting

We have two Business Analysts on the support team as well as one IT Supervisor. However, one analyst serves as the primary administrator while the other two back up when necessary. There is another small team that makes process decisions.
  • Dashboard and report management
  • Project status tracking
  • Resource Management
  • Request tracking tool for our Telecom team
  • Fast track low risk projects
  • Financial Management
  • Improve Resource Capacity Planning
  • Application Management
Organizational focus on cutting edge technology and drive to be the best. Excellent customer service. Robust capabilities.
  • Vendor implemented
Their ability to assist and answer questions when needed is incredible. They create innovative ways to share information and help customers trouble shoot. I didn't give it a ten because I believe they could do a better job of personally reaching out to customers and providing improvement guidance based on where the customer is at and their needs at the time.
Yes
Absolutely! Solutions for issues we record are almost always communicated or fully resolved in a timely fashion.
Many times in the past I have been on the phone with someone who didn't initially understand the issue we were having or desired change. Or in some cases, I didn't understand the solution they were suggesting. In each case, the support agent was patient and took the necessary time to ask questions and ensure mutual understanding.
  • Project data / task management
  • Timesheet entry
  • Admin functionality
  • Reporting
  • Resource Management
Yes, but I don't use it
Still cumbersome in some areas.
It really depends on the individual. I've seen very smart developers who get lost just managing tasks and logging time. Whereas others use the system with ease.

Innotas was solely used by Information Management to manage its entire portfolio of projects. The PMs maintained the work plans inside of the tool. All staff recorded their time in Innotas. Managed conducted resource management using the tool.
  • Great tool for capturing and maintaining meta data about project.
  • Single source for all projects managed by Information Management.
  • Strong support staff was available during the implementation and ongoing support.
  • Needs better integration of project financials with 3rd party systems
  • Needs more improvement on resource management.
I couldn't envision an enterprise solution of Innotas that would incorporate Information Management projects and other business projects. In other words, I think an Enterprise PMO would struggle setting up Innotas to meet the needs of ALL players.
  • Transparent project portfolio management
  • Improved resource management
  • More reliable project reporting
I really like the ASP model and the strong customer support I was given.

  • Vendor implemented

Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
We were already using MS Project Server so it wasn't a big change for us to make the switch. In fact, it was an easy change.
  • PM struggled with making the switch from MS Project to the Innotas Work Plan
I worked with Tim Szrejter and he was the BEST integrator!!
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
Tim Srjezter was an excellent trainer.
No, you definitely need a warm body to conduct the training. My training was conducted on line.

Innotas support model is the best!
