IPSO is a unique real-time, multi-user, multi-level
project management tool with critical path project
planning, time-recording, document and resource
management functions. It also provides sophisticated
reporting including advanced filtering criteria.
Other features include multiple assignments for tasks
e.g.attending meetings, fire drills,etc. It can be
used locally and via a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
Using IPSO enables key stakeholders to operate in an
informed, up-to-date environment across the whole
enterprise.
A keynote speaker for the ProjectWorld exhibition,
Richard Cutler, Head of New Product Development at
United Glass, outlined the clear benefits to
industry. Richard stated that his team's use of IPSO
has reduced time to market of new products from 26
weeks to 12 weeks or even 6 weeks when demanded. The
result at United Glass has been cost savings and
increased competitive edge.
Omnis Group has 35 police forces on its client list
and IPSO successfully delivered the Home
Office pilot of the huge £2.6 billion Airwave Project
to place all emergency services on a new digital
trunked radio system. Stuart Fillingham, who headed
the team introducing Airwave at Lancashire
Constabulary, commented: "We needed a real-time
planning tool that could attach and control documents
and their templates and which was applicable to a
multi-project environment. Some thought that we were
asking for the moon but only with such a system in
place, could we efficiently oversee all our projects.
We opted for IPSO because it is a seamlessly
integrated multiple project, real-time system that
combines project planning, to-do lists and document
management. It offers increased speed of response for
project approvals and resolving delays. IPSO allows
for reporting the assignment and completion of tasks
at management, team and individual levels. Users are
able to interrogate their own to-do lists from any
computer, which tells them what they have to do and by
when.
