Industry challenges
Challenges appear due to varying working methods across departments, making collaboration and consistency difficult. Decision-making is obstructed by uncertainty around the accuracy and timeliness of data, which is often scattered in different formats across multiple systems. As a result, project teams struggle to measure their true impact, despite their hard work and dedication, due to the lack of a clear, unified view of their efforts.
How Verto solves these challenges
Planning and reporting
Verto helps to update tired processes and optimise to suit a more dynamic way of working. Working in a common way and housing all your project data in one place leads to streamlining all aspects of project delivery, such as planning and reporting.
Manage
When using a central tool to manage, track and store all project data, you can be sure of its accuracy and be confident in the decisions you make based on the data.
Data
With such a broad range of topics to cover, local authorities require simplicity to locate the data they need to complete a task. Often, too much time is spent searching through various folders as there are differing methods of saving information making the whole task laborious.
Success Stories
Worcestershire County Council
Worcestershire County Council's PMO needed a reliable, standardised approach to reporting and managing project data, as varied working methods led to inefficiencies, duplication, and lack of transparency. To streamline processes, ensure accountability, and improve reporting, they sought out Verto to unify data, reduce time spent on manual tasks, and provide clear project oversight.
