THE CHALLENGE
As the world’s largest provider of experience management solutions, Explorance had a massive amount of projects and tasks that needed to be managed every day. The company outgrew its legacy project management SaaS system and needed a new solution that could fit its billing, reporting, and portfolio management needs. Explorance considered Monday.com and SmartSheets, but wisely chose Mavenlink.
THE SOLUTION
Customized Insights
The strength of Mavenlink’s automation capabilities, resource planning, portfolio review, and Insights were deciding factors in Explorance’s choice. Together, these capabilities delivered customized metrics and reports the company needed to support its daily project needs.
Filtering and Control
Mavenlink’s project and portfolio views and filters, alongside Master Planning and resource allocation, provided Explorance with both the insights and control they needed for their business.
Services Expertise
Leveraging Mavenlink’s task tracker, Mavenlink’s MavenOps team guided Explorance through a successful implementation and complete integration with their existing systems.
THE RESULTS
Successful Implementation
During implementation, MavenOps used the Mavenlink activity feed to track all notes, needs, and recordings, while Task Tracker supported processes and integration needs. MavenOps helped migrate all data from legacy systems into Mavenlink. Post-implementation, Mavenlink’s support team and Client Success Managers support Explorance’s needs.
