Work.Together > Benefits
Effective Communications
Delivering the latest generation business and technology projects demands a streamlined approach with effective collaboration across and between businesses; an approach that supports knowledge sharing in "matrix management" and "virtual team" environments.
Work.Together has been designed to support this contemporary, dynamic approach to business project and programme management, and delivers the benefits of modern project and programme management techniques - simply and conveniently through your web browser and Internet, intranet or extranet connection.
Informed Management
Work.Together provides a high level view of complete work programmes with consolidated management information focused on all the important issues. A variety of programme level reports, automated alerts and drill-down facilities provide management with progress against plan, time and budget utilisation.
Streamlined Processes
Whether it is the initiation process for a new project, or the management of an issue or risk, Work.Together provides the means to ensure that project-related processes happen consistently and reliably and without drama or undue time being required. The Project Alerts mechanism ensures that the right people are kept in the picture, while the procedures documented and available within each project ensure that the project team know what should be done, and how.
Empowered Work in Progress
Since Work.Together provides a central project portal for all project-related information, the project team are empowered to spend their time on what matters - delivering the project - rather than searching for information, wondering what procedures to follow, and dealing with management information requests.
From the management perspective, there is less need to chase for progress information - it is there when it is required - and they can be sure that project procedures are being followed, and resources being used effectively.
Centralised Information
Instead of project information being scattered around network drives, email inboxes, and faxes, Work.Together provides the single definitive source of information for project work in progress. Less time is lost searching for that elusive information.
Reduced Risk
Making information visible is a big factor in reducing project risk and in ensuring reliable project delivery. Work.Together does this by making progress, cost and time information available to those who need to know. In addition, members of the team can be pro-actively informed when milestones are approaching - or even missed.
Distributed Teams
Today's organisations often need to deliver with project teams which are geographically distributed, or in different time zones. Work.Together's web-based approach facilitates this, and ensures that the Project Office becomes the hub of a reliable and flexible business change machine.
