Enza Zaden selected OnePlan for its ease of configuration, strong roadmap, and seamless integration with Microsoft technologies, aligning with their growth strategy and need for a unified project management solution. The “do-it-yourself” flexibility and strong cultural fit with the OnePlan team were also key factors in their decision.
Enza Zaden is a global leader in vegetable breeding, headquartered in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. Enza Zaden is one of the ten largest vegetable breeding companies in the world, with over 2,000 employees and more than thirty subsidiaries, focusing on sustainable agriculture and food security
Before implementing OnePlan, Enza Zaden faced challenges in managing its growing portfolio of projects across R&D, Seed Operations, and I&D. Their legacy system, Microsoft Project Online, was reaching end-of-life, and their project management processes relied on disconnected tools, making it difficult to align projects with strategic goals. The lack of a unified solution led to inefficiencies, siloed decision-making, and limited visibility into project progress and resource allocation. As the company expanded, it needed a more scalable and integrated system to streamline portfolio management and drive long-term innovation.
Enza Zaden replaced Microsoft Project Online with OnePlan, creating a unified, enterprise-wide strategic portfolio management solution that connects corporate strategy with real-time project execution. This solution standardized project and portfolio management across R&D, Seed Operations, and I&D, ensuring cross-functional alignment and operational excellence. With OnePlan, Enza Zaden has enhanced transparency, decision-making, and portfolio execution, while also positioning itself for AI-driven innovation and continuous improvement.
