Clarity PPM Software at SGL Carbon GmbH

Andrea Obernolte, Process Owner bei SGL Carbon

We decided on Clarity as a suitable tool for improving our project and resource management processes as it came out at the top of our internal evaluation process and met all our technical and business requirements. We found it particularly important to be able to map the various use cases of the business units as well as to ensure that the software could be deployed globally.
