Top Challenges

  • Data silos
  • Incompatibility between Microsoft Project and SharePoint
  • Manual data entries

Before implementing OnePlan, PetSafe Brands struggled with inefficiencies stemming from its existing PPM setup. The system was overloaded with required fields, and without an administrator to simplify the configuration, project managers were burdened with unnecessary data entry. This led to inconsistent tool adoption, fragmented data spread across Microsoft Project Desktop and Online, and an incomplete portfolio view for the PMO. Additionally, looming compatibility issues between Microsoft Project and SharePoint posed risks to long-term stability, leaving the organization in need of a modern, flexible solution.

OnePlan delivered a portfolio management solution that gave PetSafe Brands the flexibility and independence it needed. The platform replaced reliance on Microsoft Project, reduced complexity, and offered easy configuration for administrators. With features that support multiple project types, resource visibility, and dashboards, the PMO gained the ability to manage projects more effectively and provide consistent, meaningful reporting across the organization.
