A major pharmaceuticals company approached Integra to help them improve the 'time to market' in a long term drug discovery project.

Existing systems were unable to integrate multiple versions and generations of the same project, and measure the impact of project revisions, and the effect on resources in real time. Integra developed VS Project to 'fill the gap'.

Key features of the bespoke tool include the ability to:

• Update project revisions in real time - without starting from scratch
• Visually compare multiple projects with the baseline
• Measure immediate impact on resources
• Revise project revisions dynamically
• Revise critical path in real time

VS Project can be used as a stand alone project management tool or as a mechanism for integrating all aspects of project management, throughout the lifecycle of the project, from conception to full realisation of the project benefits.The unique architecture of VS Project provides a basis for further development of this bespoke tool.

We are keen to talk to interested parties who are looking to develop a capability which extends to managing programmes, project portfolios or SAAS (Software As A Service.)
