About

The Client is one of the largest international consulting companies with operational offices in more than 100 countries and 200,000+ employees.

Challenge

The company s UK unit addressed VolgoTechnologies to develop a project management system to be used by more than 10,000 employees on a daily basis. The company decided to implement the system to achieve several goals:

To facilitate project management and HR management throughout the company. To ensure the workload is equally distributed among different teams and specialists to avoid employees overload or downtime. To let employees track their working hours, manage their activities and availability. The Client had been already running a SharePoint deployment, that s why SharePoint 2013 was chosen as the platform for the future project management system.

Solution

Our SharePoint development team created a fully functional solution in line with the Client s requirements. The system provides relevant functionality for 3 groups of users with different permission levels. Among them, there are:

Resources: employees participating in projects. Bookers: employees managing project participants workload. Administrators: employees supervising projects and monitoring project participants performance. The system s main page provides access to Projects, Teams, Employees Profiles, and Calendar pages, as well as contains a list of available reports.

The working process became clear and transparent for employees who are able to manage their timetables, see their availability, and plan their activities accordingly. The entire unit can work more effectively, respect project deadlines and fulfill all the projects successfully owing to proper planning and time distribution.
