“With BrightWork we have implemented status reporting for projects so that we can get updates from the project managers directly through the system on a weekly basis. This helps eliminate the need for continuous meetings because in many cases we get updates from the team members themselves who are assigned the task.”
Reem Sarrif, Information Systems Manager, Aramex
Problem
The IT team at Aramex is responsible for tracking all projects from initiation to closure and ensuring all stakeholders are updated. Their projects vary greatly in size and nature, making it difficult to enforce standard a standard PM tool across all projects.
Solution
BrightWork was deployed to streamline this process, giving team members, project managers and project stakeholders both high-level and detailed project statuses. Aramex now uses the full capabilities BrightWork and SharePoint 2010 for Project Management (task assignment and tracking, milestones, issues and risks, reporting), Process Management, Portfolio Tracking, and Resource Assignment and Tracking.
