In order to gather project related information in one
place and enable efficient collaboration both internally and externally, a core
system was sought. A tool that could enable effective work from early in project
development, through design development, sales and construction to project
completion and handover. Their solution was the PPM tool Antura Projects.
- We were looking for a project portal that could
help us gather and connect the work with all our various projects. We have now
worked with Antura Projects for about two years, said
Christelle Lapalus, Business Developer at Ikano Bostad and responsible for the
implementation of Antura Projects.
Incremental implementation and with selected
features based on the needs
Ikano Bostad's strategy was to implement the PPM tool
gradually, which has given them the opportunity to define and prioritize the implementation
in a good way. It has also created better conditions for them to manage the
system introduction like the journey of change it really is. They have selected
a number of functionalities such as project and portfolio management, document
management, issue management and risk management. Document management was
particularly important to them as they see the future needs of being able to
invite external users to easily collaborate with documents.
- The file archive in Antura Projects is a feature
that we use a lot today, because we handle many documents in our projects.
Antura's business consultants have really been responsive to our needs while challenging
us on this journey of change. Antura Projects has not only meant a new system
for us, but it has also made us realize that we have had to develop and improve
some of our working methods, Christelle continues.
With the help of Antura Projects, Ikano Bostad has
gained a comprehensive overview of their various project. And at the same time,
they have gained an easier way to report and analyze their projects as well as
gathering and provide the right information to management, project managers and
other stakeholders.
Ikano Bostad plans to expand the use of Antura
Projects in the future both to the aftermarket projects and to the business
development projects. They also plan to integrate Antura Projects with their
other business systems to more easily obtain information needed for the various
projects.
- We are very happy that Ikano Bostad has trusted
us to deliver Antura Projects as their project portal. It is nice to see how
they have developed together with Antura, and that they have implemented new
functions after they have matured as users of the system, says
Therese Forsberg, Project Manager & Business Consultant and Account Manager
at Antura AB.
