This software provides a client-server solution for real-time, multi-user, multi-project management. It includes project planning, resource allocation, progress reporting and document management. It can be used locally or accessed via LAN, WAN or the Internet.
One of the most significant advantages of using IPSO is its versatility. IPSO can be used locally and via a LAN, WAN or the Internet. By leveraging this tool, stakeholders across the enterprise can operate in an informed, up-to-date environment, which can be advantageous for managing large projects involving multiple teams.
Richard Cutler, Head of New Product Development at United Glass, highlighted the benefits his team realized by using IPSO at ProjectWorld. Cutler reported that his team's use of IPSO saved time, enabling them to reduce new product development time from 26 weeks to 12 weeks or even 6 weeks when necessary. These time savings resulted in cost savings and a stronger competitive edge.
IPSO is widely used by the police force, with 35 police forces on Omnis Group's client list, and it was successfully used to deliver the £2.6 billion Airwave Project pilot. Users such as Stuart Fillingham, who headed the team introducing Airwave at Lancashire Constabulary, touted IPSO's ability to attach and control documents and their templates in a multi-project environment. IPSO offers increased speed of response for project approvals and resolving delays. Users can also report the assignment and completion of tasks at management, team and individual levels.
IPSO offers increased transparency and accountability across projects, enabling users to interrogate their own to-do lists from any computer, which tells them what they have to do and by when. Because IPSO is a seamlessly integrated, multiple project, real-time system, it combines project planning, to-do lists and document management, making it the ideal project management tool for multi-project environments.
