Asta Case Study CACI UK Copyright Asta Development 2013
Before we started using Asta Powerproject suite it was difficult
to manage all these projects in a cohesive wayWe introduced Asta
Powerproject Enterprise to bring to the business the right mix of
functionality to fit our goalsIn Asta we can set up a template for
projects with a similar structure it is easy and saves a lot of
project manager time. We can now initiate a project much more
quickly and efficiently than we could with MS ProjectAsta allows us
to start from the beginning and build up accurate perspectives of a
projectThe Time Sheet process runs so much better now, like an
oiled machineHaving all time sheet data inside the system gives us
an up-to-date picture of exactly where we are against the planKey
for us is to efficiently manage the whole portfolio in an
integrated fashion. It is the linkage between detailed project
plans, project accounts, documentation and timesheets that is most
beneficial, something we could not achieve before. We now have a
much more holistic approach, which drives up quality for our
customersNot only does the software help improve quality for our
customer, it keeps us compliant with our certification in terms of
consistency and best practiceWe now have one accurate version of
the truth
The Information Systems Services (ISS) department within
Lancaster University provides IT systems, services and facilities
centrally for the universityCampus IT network, email, central IT
systems, software, PC labs and access to IT facilities at
off-campus locationsOn-going challenge to meet the growing demands
placed on ISS.Needed to understanding the demands on teams and
individualsTo maximise available capacity, ISS decided to introduce
a professional project planning and management toolAdopted Asta

The software is providing insight into bottlenecks and helping
us understand why things sometimes take so long. Our hope is that
it will enhance the way the business and IT work togetherISS needed
to be able to deliver new services in response to ever-changing
requirements, but with most of our available resource already tied
up we needed a way of understanding exactly where priorities were
most neededIt allows us to plan resources and projects with the
right amount of task granularity for us and for senior managementWe
needed a way of understanding the demands on teams and
individualsMulti-user access is fundamental to our business, the
very nature of what we do is reliant on a shared capability to
plan, manage, deliver and report, otherwise we would have
unconnected plans.We have the flexibility to allow the operative
autonomy in managing their day-to-day tasks, while still giving us
a clear indication of the resource commitment to a particular
resource or serviceWe have a real sense that Asta is keen to
support us and make it work for us
