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.
