AOC, a provider of high performance resins for composite applications, has deployed Clarizen’s cloud-based platform to create more transparent and effective communications.
AOC says it wanted a flexible work management solution that could be tailored to its exact needs, enabling project managers and team members to rapidly react to the constantly changing conditions in which their industry operates.
“We chose Clarizen based on its flexibility, balance of price and performance, and the level of support we could expect from their team,” said Sandra Klein Nagelvoort, R&D Program Manager, AOC. “One of the factors that made Clarizen so different from its competitors is the fact that it could be tailored to our exact needs and environment – that was not something the others could offer.”
Clarizen, which has now been deployed throughout the organization, is used by multiple divisions for tracking and responding to internal support requests, providing status reports and dashboards for executives and other stakeholders. It has enabled the company to better manage its project portfolio and set priorities, it said.
“We have become more efficient, which has enabled us to improve performance year over year,” Klein Nagelvoort added. “Clarizen’s collaboration tools have made communications more transparent and effective. We’re saving time on administration and it provides us with much greater transparency – with minimal effort.”
Prior to deploying Clarizen, the company relied on separate project management systems and tools to manage a multitude of projects.
The work management platform is now helping its teams to more efficiently work together to shape the future of composites with new technologies and applications – for everything from bridges and high-speed trains to infrastructure renovation and wind energy.
“Clarizen is enabling our project managers and team members to think about projects in a more logical and organized way,” Klein Nagelvoort said. “The Clarizen support organization has been incredibly helpful.”
Limor Schmitz, PMP Customer Success Manager at Clarizen, said: “AOC continues to push the limits of resin and composite technology worldwide – propelling today’s world into the future with its innovative solutions for tomorrow.
“It is fantastic to see customers benefitting from Clarizen’s dynamic cloud-based solution through increasing internal collaboration that enables teams to work smarter and become more agile in an evolving marketplace.”
