Case Study: Tenrox Drives Improved Project and Workforce Management for Eaton Truck Division

The Challenge: To provide a user-friendly, efficient solution for internal time tracking, project management, workforce planning & coordination

Glendale, California - July 21, 2009

Tenrox, the leading provider of online project workforce management software solutions, today announced that Eaton Truck, a division of Eaton Corporation, sharpens its project management and workforce management by implementing the intuitive, function-rich Tenrox solution.

Due to the competitive pressures of its industry, a priority for Eaton’s IT and engineering staff was to implement a project management solution that would allow the company to focus on its core business responsibilities and not on system maintenance, upgrades and extensive learning curves. Tenrox provided exactly that by implementing these modules: Time Tracking, Project Planning, Workforce Planning and Reporting & Analytics. “Part of our IT strategy is not to have to become application experts to use our solutions. Tenrox is simple to use and configure, and I view them as the project management specialists, so I can rely on their expertise,” says Mari Skippers, IT Business Analyst, Eaton Truck Division.

Benefits of the Tenrox Project Workforce Management Software Solution:

Some of the benefits of the Tenrox implementation include allowing the company to perform internal billing (chargeback) of various cost centers (or business units); cross-charging departments when staff from one activity center works on a project based in another whereby the system automatically accounts for variables such as exempt and non-exempt employees.

In addition Tenrox has enabled Eaton to create the Center of Excellence (COE), an internal consulting group. COE provides a pool of engineering expertise that can be “loaned” to any activity center requiring additional project support.
