Their innovation efforts span a broad range of technologies, from hardware and equipment engineering to advanced software and data processing platforms.
Fugro selected OnePlan to establish a unified, strategic portfolio management framework for its Global Innovation organization. As innovation projects span diverse technologies and regions, achieving alignment and data consistency was essential. OnePlan stood out as the ideal choice due to its ability to act as a single source of truth, its intuitive interface, and its strong Microsoft ecosystem integrations, including Power BI for advanced reporting. Furgo needed a platform capable of consolidating a wide range of business cases, standardizing financial metrics, and enabling better visibility across a global portfolio. OnePlan’s flexibility and ability to scale with Fugro’s complex innovation needs made it the natural fit.
Prior to OnePlan, Fugro’s Global Innovation team relied heavily on spreadsheets to manage projects, business cases, and portfolio financials. Each team used separate Excel documents, making alignment across the organization extremely difficult. This fragmentation resulted in inconsistent reporting and limited visibility into the innovation funnel. Because Fugro’s product and technology lifecycles vary widely from long-term hardware development to fast-moving digital platforms, the team needed a unified system to quantify value, monitor progress, and manage the portfolio reliably. Without structured data and visibility, it was challenging to articulate the value of innovation efforts, prioritize investments, or support commercialization.
Fugro implemented OnePlan as a comprehensive Strategic Portfolio Management solution focused on creating a standardized, centralized innovation portfolio. With guidance from the OnePlan team, the organization consolidated all business cases and plans into one system, introduced structured work and financial planning, and established consistent metrics to support decision-making. Early in the implementation, Fugro experienced minor onboarding challenges typical of large transformations, such as the need for highly detailed work plans to properly feed Power BI analytics. Through internal training, tutorial videos, and OnePlan’s responsive support, the Global Innovation team quickly gained confidence and adoption. The result was a data-driven innovation portfolio framework that expanded visibility across technologies, regions, and lifecycle stages.
“OnePlan has given us a single source of truth for our global innovation portfolio. We can now articulate business value clearly, standardize our financial metrics, and make better decisions across a very diverse technology landscape.”
