As a system bonus, they have also gotten the ability to handle workflows which has resulted in a more efficient process. 

E.ON Sales Germany has a long history working mainly with Excel as their project portfolio management tool. This has made it difficult to keep an accurate overview of the status, hard to create forecasts, make prioritization and keep track of versions as well as updates. They have also had a history of buying customized solutions, which in the end has led to costly and time-consuming maintenance. This has often resulted in out-of-date solutions which didn’t support process changes in E.ON’s way of working and from time to time not even supporting the current requirements. Now, after implementing the project module of the IT-system CANEA ONE, E.ON finally has received the tool they have been long looking for.

It was important to choose a product that was ready to use right away, without the need to customize it and with a fast ramp-up time for all users.

User friendly and many functions “We have received great feedback from the users about visualizing projects as well as about the analyzing tool with clear graphics. We appreciate the possibility to create dashboards for programs, in which you combine multiple projects. Furthermore, we have discovered that our co-workers have found functions and usage in CANEA ONE in ways we didn’t expect, which is very positive. For instance, one of our program managers who is responsible for eight projects with a multi-million-euro budget has been able to create great dashboards where he can supervise all his projects including cost categories, and comparisons between planned costs and forecast of the project period. He showed it to us and we were surprised of the capability of the system, so we have had good results indeed!” says Jan-Erik Schrader, Project Portfolio Management EDG/EEK within E.ON.

“We have received great feedback from the users about visualizing projects as well as about the analyzing tool with clear graphics.

E.ON will now focus on implementing agile processes in portfolio management which means they will change the way they structure their projects and project portfolio management. With CANEA ONE’s flexibility and easiness to configure without any code changes, E.ON has a future proof and stable solution for these upcoming changes.

E.ON has also been very satisfied with CANEA ONE’s ability to handle workflows.

This has resulted in a more efficient process, which is easier to control and provides the right information and overview required for accurate prioritization. Being confident that their project management tool supports any changes they decide to realize with the ability to keep track of all versions and updates, E.ON is ready for even better results in the near future.
