Challenge
Increasing Complexity and Wealth of Information Complicate Reliable Planning
SGL Carbon has been using Clarity for project and portfolio management since 2017 globally in 5 organizational units. Before the introduction of the itd Advanced Resource Planning add-on, the company used a complex Excel solution for resource planning.
However, due to the wealth of information and the associated complexity, this solution reached the limits of its usability, so that meaningful, reliable, and efficient planning was no longer possible.
Solution
