Top Challenges

Siloed operations within its IT Portfolio, as each department operated independently, leading to a lack of transparency, collaboration, governance and effective problem-solving

​Brambles had a variety of Project Management tools with no easy way of consolidating project management data. The proliferation of project management solutions was hindering the execution of a long-term business transformation strategy. Brambles needed certain common and strategic project management processes and enterprise project reporting while still allowing individual project management solutions to be utilized as a part of the PPM platform.

As part of the PMO driven business transformation strategy with OnePlan, Brambles implemented a project management “operating system” acting as a foundation for core processes such as project intake, portfolio management, resource, financial planning, and reporting – while providing integration capability for a variety of tools used for project execution​.

OnePlan’s new Adaptive PPM platform, combining the use of PowerApps and OnePlan gave Brambles the desired PPM operating system while allowing for tool flexibility at the execution level​.
