Introduction
For project management offices (PMOs) in growing mid-market companies, balancing the functionality and budget of a project management solution is challenging. Many rely on collaborative work management (CWM) tools that, while useful, often lack the depth needed for sophisticated reporting, resource allocation, and financial tracking as the organization scales. Enter KolmeConnect: the first turn-key solution combining the enterprise-level reporting of Planview AdaptiveWork with the flexibility of customizable PPM tools.
KolmeConnect’s unique offering bridges the gap for PMOs that need advanced tools without the overhead of internal management, providing a truly hassle-free, scalable experience. Here’s how KolmeConnect enables organizations to grow beyond their current tool limitations while remaining easy to implement and manage.
“KolmeConnect is designed to offer PMOs a truly hassle-free experience, with managed services that eliminate the need for internal management,” explains Cortney Felix, Director of Global Professional Services. “Our goal was to deliver enterprise-level capabilities to mid-market organizations without the traditional burdens.”
The Concept of a Turn-Key Solution
For PMOs, a “turn-key” solution means a ready-to-use setup that requires minimal internal maintenance. KolmeConnect redefines this concept by combining Planview AdaptiveWork with customizable PPM tools tailored to specific company needs. This integration creates a high-value, comprehensive solution that alleviates the traditional burdens of software management.
KolmeConnect goes beyond the standard CWM tool by offering:
- Enterprise-Grade Reporting and Insights: Deep analytics and real-time dashboards that empower data-driven decisions.
- Scalability and Adaptability: Flexibility to integrate with your chosen PPM tools for workflow customization.
- Managed Services and Support: Kolme experts handle all aspects of setup, updates, and technical support, making it a true hands-off experience for PMOs.
Limitations of Standard CWM Tools for Growing Organizations
As mid-market companies grow, many find themselves hindered by their current CWM tools, which often lack capabilities for advanced reporting, financial tracking, and resource management. Scaling up with a traditional CWM system can lead to:
- Insufficient Reporting: CWM tools provide basic reporting but often lack the customization and depth required for comprehensive analysis.
- Resource Constraints: Growing companies often need to track resources across multiple projects, which CWM tools typically can’t handle effectively.
- Financial Oversight Challenges: As projects become more complex, CWM tools may fall short in detailed cost and budgeting insights.
KolmeConnect, however, overcomes these limitations with a powerful integration between Planview AdaptiveWork and adaptable PPM tools, providing mid-market companies with the functionality they need to scale.
