Reduce internal network data transfer and data storage

If one person sends an e-mail to people with a 5Mb attachment and each of those people do the same then you have created over 40 versions of the same document and 200Mb of attachments.

The average business person gets 20,000 e-mails per year*

............ with 4Projects there would only be one document at 5Mb.

Quicker to find the information you need

"The average executive loses 6 weeks per year searching for missing information in messy deaks and file networks (almost 1 hour per day per person)"*

So for every 10 people on your payroll averaging say £30k per annum it will cost your business over $42,800 per year

......... with 4Projects powerful search facility find, view and comment on documents in seconds

Make meetings more effective and efficient

" A Microsoft survey including respondents worldwide say they feel unproductive for as much as a third of their working week. Internationally the top three time wasters, according to the survey participants were

• Ineffective meetings
• Unclear objectives
• Lack of team communication"

"Indsutry Week called meetings the "Great White Collar Crime" estimating they waste $37bn worldwide every year"

There are more than three billion formal meetings per year in the US. Managers spend about 20% of their time in formal meetings of 5 people or more. A meeting between several managers or executive may cost upwards of $1000 per hour in salary costs alone. A Fortune 500 company estimates losses in excess of $75million per year due to poor and ineffective meetings" *

.......... with 4Projects use the Task, Discussion and Calendar functionality to eliminate ineffective or poorly managed meetings, capture and track all information

A typical metric for how 4Projects facilitates the cross organisational collaboration on projects is shown below:

A 3 year medium sized project involved the following:

Manage all project interfaces effectively

Stakeholders can effectively control, manage and share data, anytime anywhere, during the project identification, project feasibility phases and then through project delivery and ongoing asset management. Data such as drawings and documents and photos, can be processed, stored, shared, reviewed and marked-up within a secure, easily configured application.  Furthermore the solution is designed to map the processes involved at every stage of any project.
