INSTANTIS EnterpriseTrack, Instantis, Inc.

Greetings Judges!

Let’s get right to it. What makes us different from the other worthy finalists?

EnterpriseTrack is the ONLY system that can be used to manage multiple project portfolio types – such as IT, product development, professional services automation (PSA), and general project workforce management – in a single enterprise-wide on-demand/SaaS system.

Due to requirements for unique project team roles, roadmaps/templates, project metrics and financial models, competitive products typically specialize in a particular project type such as PSA or generic project and workforce management. EnterpriseTrack provides a best-in-breed experience for all types of project teams.

Who cares?

Most large organizations support disparate project portfolio silos in IT, R&D/product development, services, etc. A single-system approach reduces TCO. Obviously, this is critical in today’s business climate. It also provides opportunities to optimize resource utilization and strategy execution by providing a consolidated top-down view of project activity, resources and project results (rolled-up across project silos) leveraging EnterpriseTrack’s world-class dashboards.

Great theory, what about the real world?

In the real world, Instantis grew 60% (FY08). Instantis was chosen by BP, Lenovo, RIM, UA and many others and is the only finalist to be recognized by Gartner in the 2008-PPM-Magic-Quadrant as a “Visionary.”
