Ultimately, Profitability
OREM, Utah--(Business Wire)--
AtTask, the definitive solution enabling organizations to collaborate and
accomplish the work most essential to the enterprise, is the Project and
Portfolio Management (PPM) solution for United Kingdom-based Netcel, for
prioritizing initiatives and strategic planning. 

Netcel is one of the leading providers of Web content management systems in the
U.K. and turned to AtTask to provide a solution to a disjointed management
process. "Our old system was not collaborative," said Tim Parfitt, a Web
Developer at Netcel. "We were often in the dark about a project`s progress, and
if there was a problem, we didn`t find out until it was too late to do anything
about it. That is why AtTask was so appealing to us." 

"The visibility, ease of reporting and configurable reports really met our
needs," he continued. "As a manager, I could see exactly what was being
accomplished by team members in real time. As a result, I could identify any
obstacles or what projects my team should tackle first. AtTask makes it
incredibly easy to keep the big picture in mind on every project." 

AtTask gives decision-makers access to all the information needed to ensure a
project`s success. With new features like the Optimizer and Best-Fit capacity
planning, managers can find the right mix of projects by helping them identify
risk tolerance, rank the importance of return, low cost, and alignment. In
addition, new portfolio scorecards allow for easy evaluation of completed
projects. 

"We also liked the SaaS (Software as a Service) model," Parfitt said. "We spent
more than six months researching all the available PPM solutions, and AtTask
came out on top. In fact, AtTask became our benchmark for grading other
systems." 

"For a company on the leading edge of technology and Web development, it was
important for Netcel to find a PPM solution that could grow with them," said
Scott Johnson, CEO of AtTask. "It is our goal to provide companies like Netcel a
formalized process, and provide support if needed. Our professional services
include online support, forums, phone coaching, Boot Camp, and even onsite
training. We value our customers, and are dedicated to helping them succeed." 

Before purchasing AtTask, Netcel attended Boot Camp, a two-day training seminar
to help teams implement the solution as easily and quickly as possible. "Boot
Camp was the final step for us in choosing AtTask," Parfitt said. "Meeting
others who were using AtTask was extremely helpful. We were able to compare
notes, and were reassured we had made the right choice." 

"We are certain AtTask will help us not only save money," Parfitt said. "But
reduce overruns, provide more accurate billing, resolve issues quickly, increase
collaboration and teamwork, get things right the first time and improve our
overall process."
