Pelmorex Communications Inc. Forecasts Greater Project Efficiency with Tenrox Cloud PPM

Glendale, California - November 9, 2011

Pelmorex Communications Inc (Pelmorex), owner of The Weather Network / MétéoMédia, is predicting year-round improvements in operational efficiency with the addition of Tenrox cloud-based project portfolio management (Tenrox Cloud PPM). The Oakville, Ontario-based weather information provider serves approximately 20 million monthly users throughout Canada via its broadcast, online and mobile app services. By adding Tenrox’s Time & Expense, Project Cost & Billing, Resource Management & Scheduling, Work Process Management, Project Planning and Analytics modules, Pelmorex will be able to optimize all project management activities as well as increase project productivity.

“The Tenrox Cloud PPM suite of solutions gives us comprehensive tools to better manage our project roadmaps and resources and improve the efficiency and visibility of all associated activities,” said Kristine Hatfield, Director of Project Management.

Prior to Tenrox Cloud PPM, Pelmorex stored, processed and retrieved all project data manually. This resulted in details being stored in multiple electronic locations leading to inefficiencies in easily obtaining current status or in retrieving information from completed projects.

“Tenrox Cloud PPM’s automation will enable us to develop a knowledge base for moving forward—and that will eliminate the need for project managers to have to search every time they need information for a different project workforce report,” Hatfield explained.

Pelmorex chose Tenrox Cloud PPM because of its customizable reporting, the strength of its time reporting capabilities and its flexible integration with external applications such as SharePoint.

“With Tenrox Cloud PPM’s intuitive interface and extensive project automation and controls, we expect to streamline our management processes and see a great improvement in project time to completion,” Hatfield added.
