Sebastian Kraus and Peter Trojer report on Clarity’s transition from on-premises to the cloud: reasons, process and conclusion.
Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller
Success Story with Clarity and itdesign
The development of Clarity at Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller has been very successful: In the past, with some topics, the question was whether we needed to do this in Clarity. Today, we tend to ask ourselves: "Can we map this in Clarity?
Sebastian Kraus, Senior PPM Specialist
Use Case with Clarity
Challenge
- Mapping the entire project landscape with one tool: from documentation and financial planning all the way to approval and monitoring
- Different functional needs of different business units
- Analogue approval processes with traditional checklists and signatures were too slow, inflexible, and no longer up to date
- Fully digitalize the approval processes in all project phases with Clarity – save time, money, and paper
- Avoid a single-source situation for Oracle databases
- Save internal costs, e.g. in the IT area, and simplify processes
Solution
- Clarity as a centralized project planning tool: all projects must be entered in Clarity
- Efficient planning of resources and portfolios
- Satisfaction of different units’ needs thanks to Clarity’s process design flexibility
- Approval processes in Clarity that are specially adapted to the units’ individual needs – paperless, fast, and completely digital
- Agile project management as key success factor
- More agile and faster action on the market
- Establishing Clarity as digitalization tool
- Transition of the on-premise solution to itdesign Clarity SaaS with hosting and operation by itdesign
