Overview

OIC Advisors needed an all-in-one platform to interact with customers in a cost-effective, transparent manner. Tired of using PowerPoint, Excel, and Microsoft Project, they wanted to tell a cohesive story for customers, leadership, and executive teams. OIC Advisors partnered with Teamwork.com to unlock robust project management tools, which allowed them to create a single environment for their work, billing, and client processes.

Challenge

OIC Advisors evaluated dozens of platforms to manage its internal project management operations. Individual systems were either too complex or too simplistic, with project managers often forced to duplicate information across multiple platforms. The company wanted an easier way to show project progress and performance and collect internal information about project costs and budgets.

Solution

While surfacing PMS solutions for a client, OIC Advisors came across Teamwork.com. They quickly realized it wasn't just a solution for their customer, but an effective way for their team to consolidate budget reporting, portfolio dashboards, and time-tracking processes. They decided to transition from their existing disparate tech stack and instead migrate to Teamwork.com.

Results

For an IT services and consulting company like OIC Advisors, Teamwork.com has paid for itself over and over again. The company stores all metrics behind a single pane of glass so they can track every element of project development (including budgets and hours) from kickoff to completion. They strongly recommend Teamwork.com to new customers, as they believe it’s the easiest way to make informed business decisions.

Transcript for the video 'OIC Advisors':

- Teamwork is that tool set that gives you the ability to surface what your team is working on, how much time it's taking them to do it, who they are doing it for, and what that all up work is costing the organization. My name's Bernard Williams. I am the CTO with OIC Advisors Incorporated. At OIC Advisors, we provide strategic consulting services with the intent of helping organizations improve operational velocity. As we looked out across the landscape of IT project management solutions and professional service applications, what we found was that there's a lot of solutions out there. Some are very expensive, and they have a lot of capabilities, too many sometimes. Teamwork.com was really kinda like the Goldilock version. It was just right. The insights and the visibility that Teamwork provides is one of the key features that we love about it. Teamwork has enabled us to be able to, first and foremost, make our work visible. We wanted to be able to understand, you know, who was doing what work, how much that work was costing us, and Teamwork has given us that ability. It has provided the insights that we need to make the business decisions that will help us thrive and survive over the coming years. Partnering with Teamwork was absolutely the right decision for our team.
