Ironworks Consulting Selects Tenrox On-Demand Software to Streamline its Project and Resource Management Processes

Glendale, California - December 8, 2009

Tenrox announced today that Ironworks Consulting has selected the Tenrox on-demand project workforce management software to improve employee resource management and project management processes to help ensure that projects finish on time and on budget, streamlining its project and service delivery processes.

After an extensive three month evaluation phase, Ironworks Consulting chose Tenrox over several other vendors because of its unique workflow-driven architecture, enterprise time and expense tracking, integration with SharePoint, Salesforce.com and QuickBooks applications and because it leverages the Microsoft technology stack, namely Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, OLAP and .NET applications.

Within the first phase of the Tenrox software implementation, Ironworks will be automating time and expense tracking to capture project time, costs and associated revenues for invoicing as well as integration with QuickBooks for accounts receivable processing and expense reimbursement. Phase two will consist of integrating resource management as well as integrating to its Salesforce.com CRM and to SharePoint. Phase three will include the Tenrox Project Planning module implementation to provide detailed task scheduling, budgeting, and resource assignment capabilities.

"We work in a very dynamic and fast-paced environment in order to best serve our client base," said Sally Cunningham, CFO at Ironworks Consulting. "Priorities can be managed and projects can be delivered only if we have access to the right information at the right time. One of our biggest challenges was that we were starting to outgrow our existing resource management and project planning tools. As a result, we had less visibility into resource allocation and individual project status at any point in time,“ explained Cunningham. "To solve these problems we embarked on a mission to have the right tools in place offering real-time visibility for tracking projects and resource planning. Tenrox provided a solution for our specific needs so we can continue the proactive mode of supporting our clients as we grow as a company."

The Tenrox time and expense tracking, cost and revenue accounting, workforce planning, project planning and work process management software modules will be employed by 250 users at Ironworks Consulting to report time and expense from the company’s offices or while traveling. In addition, the software will help in capturing project costs and associated revenues for invoicing while helping Ironworks to gain visibility into key business metrics and to simplify resource management, billing, and comply with DCAA requirements.
