Challenges

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.
