Customer Challenges

Before using OnePlan, UFCU faced several challenges, including the lack of a centralized portfolio management tool, which made it difficult to manage projects and allocate resources efficiently. Their use of Wrike and Azure DevOps created fragmented workflows without proper integration, limiting visibility into project status and resource utilization. Without a formal process for prioritizing projects or tracking budgets, decision-making was hindered, and reporting was manual and time-consuming. These challenges led to inefficiencies in project management and delayed their ability to meet strategic goals.
