Using IPSO enables key stakeholders to operate in an informed, up-to-date environment across the whole enterprise.

A keynote speaker for the ProjectWorld exhibition, Richard Cutler, Head of New Product Development at United Glass, outlined the clear benefits to industry. Richard stated that his team's use of IPSO has reduced time to market of new products from 26 weeks to 12 weeks or even 6 weeks when demanded. The result at United Glass has been cost savings and increased competitive edge.

Omnis Group has 35 police forces on its client list and IPSO successfully delivered the Home
Office pilot of the huge £2.6 billion Airwave Project to place all emergency services on a new digital trunked radio system. Stuart Fillingham, who headed the team introducing Airwave at Lancashire Constabulary, commented: "We needed a real-time planning tool that could attach and control documents and their templates and which was applicable to a multi-project environment. Some thought that we were asking for the moon but only with such a system in place, could we efficiently oversee all our projects. We opted for IPSO because it is a seamlessly integrated multiple project, real-time system that combines project planning, to-do lists and document management. It offers increased speed of response for project approvals and resolving delays. IPSO allows for reporting the assignment and completion of tasks at management, team and individual levels. Users are able to interrogate their own to-do lists from any computer, which tells them what they have to do and by when.
