British Friendly select PM3 as their PPM Solution

BestOutcome are delighted that British Friendly have chosen PM3 as their Project, Programme and Portfolio Management tool.

British friendly had been using a number of different applications to manage their projects, programmes and portfolios which was proving too challenging.

They were looking for a single PPM tool to help drive efficiencies, track costs and save time and money. They wanted a ‘single source of the truth’ to eliminate duplication, improve their planning and governance, provide powerful portfolio management and provide detailed automated reports to facilitate informed decision making.

After a trial, British Friendly chose PM3 because it provided the rich functionality that they needed but in a simplistic, intuitive way.

Nicola Herbert, Head of Technology of Change said: “We are currently using MS project, Excel and Google Sheets which can make planning difficult. We are hoping by using PM3 we can drive efficiencies and have a much better overview of portfolio management, as well as track costs across the organisation. We chose BestOutcome because of their responsiveness and experience in Programme Delivery. We found PM3 was easy to use and delivered the functionality we were looking for”.

David Walton, Director of BestOutcome said, “I am delighted that British Friendly have selected PM3 to help manage its projects and programmes. We look forward to working with them. We are pleased to add British Friendly to our expanding list of PPM clients”
