• 2008 Project Insight Success Story of the Year - imc2

  Project Insight ( http://www.projectinsight.net ), the leading mid-market, project management software solution, selects customer imc2 as the winner of the Project Insight Success Story of the Year contest. Project Insight customers use the software to collaborate on project schedules, share documents and assets, allocate project resources, and run real-time reports from any location in the world. To enter the contest, customers filled out a survey recounting their business challenges and successes before and after selecting Project Insight as their project management software tool.  Each customer reflected on past organizational struggles, and present quantifiable improvements in project management processes. imc2, a digital marketing agency in Dallas, Texas, emerged as the clear Success Story winner. Before Project Insight, imc2 had no company-wide view of over 800 projects in progress, or a good way to allocate resources.  Director of the Program Management Office, Erica Robertson, MBA, PMP, noted that “we could only see about one week ahead what our project resources were working on.”  The project team eventually rolled out Project Insight to over 600 employees and implemented nearly every feature available in the solution.  Today imc2 has real-time oversight and manages resources 90+ days in advance.
