SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - December 1, 2008) - Daptiv,
the on-demand leader in collaborative
business software, will participate in the upcoming Project & Portfolio Summit,
December 3-5 in Vienna, Austria. The Project & Portfolio Summit is the
premier event in Europe for business decision makers interested in
understanding the impact of better portfolio management practices. Daptiv
will be delivering a case study with customer Interoute, Europe's leading
telecommunications and network provider with the largest network in Europe.
Interoute will present lessons learned from evaluating two dozen project
portfolio management vendors in order to find a solution that would allow
its distributed team to collaborate more efficiently. Usability, rapid
implementation and Web delivery were all crucial requirements for
Interoute, with time savings in project coordination as the primary driver.
"We were looking for an easy-to-use, easy-to-implement, on-demand solution.
Daptiv satisfied all of those requirements with significant additional
benefits," said Madonna Swanson, PMO program manager at Interoute. "We use
Dynamic Applications within Daptiv PPM to instantly create custom apps to
capture virtually any type of information, without needing to know anything
about IT or coding. Daptiv's Work Intelligence capabilities have been
invaluable, allowing us to easily schedule automated, real-time reports on
any information within the Daptiv system in a fraction of the time it took
with previous methods. Collaborating with people in Germany, Sweden, London
and Prague is now so simple with Daptiv, it's like we're all in the same
room."
"We have learned so much, I'm sure the Interoute experience will be helpful
for other organizations going through the vendor selection process," said
Swanson. "I've developed and managed many business integration programs
before and never has it been so easy to coordinate all the cross
dependencies between the projects as it has with Daptiv. I only wish I had
Daptiv five years ago."
The Project & Portfolio Summit 2008 brings executive-level IT and corporate
decision makers together with a dynamic range of vendors to discuss PPM
product and service solutions and hear presentations led by Gartner
analysts and other industry experts. During the three-day event, the focus
will be on strategic business interaction between vendors and decision
makers via private boardroom appointments, the insight and expertise of
industry-leading Gartner analysts, and a host of networking events.
