State of the Business

When Champion X was undergoing a significant spin merge, the need for a new, unified tool became apparent. This transition not only demanded a new solution for the emerging company but also offered an opportunity to assess and leverage tools for diverse global project portfolios.

Champion X faced challenges stemming from disparate legacy tools and varying levels of tool adoption. This decentralized approach led to concerns about data integrity and hindered the ability to make informed business decisions.

OnePlan provided a singular source of truth for Champion X, consolidating multiple project portfolios into one comprehensive database. This allowed them to extract valuable insights for strategic decision-making, blending project data with financials seamlessly.

“Using OnePlan, we’re able to have that one source of truth across multiple portfolios. We are able to report and visualize the information and use those insights in order to make key business decisions.” – Linda Hadden
