Essilor of America Case Study: Resource Visibility with Planview Enterprise
Case study showing how Essilor replaced spreadsheets with Planview Enterprise to gain resource visibility, prioritize demand, and improve project delivery across a $30M portfolio.
Essilor of America's Enterprise PMO manages a $20M planned and $10M unplanned project portfolio supporting 17 IT service lines and 29 business units. The organization replaced a 10-year-old custom tool and spreadsheets with Planview Enterprise to obtain real-time resource capacity data, run what-if scenarios on unplanned demand, and enforce governance. Within 30 days of go-live, the PMO eliminated subjective reporting, improved stakeholder credibility, and enabled fact-based prioritization across the Americas.
