Wellesley, Mass. - May 10, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that PowerSteering has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
PowerSteering provides project portfolio management (PPM) software that helps organizations manage a broad range of strategic initiatives that improve business performance in information technology, new product development, Six Sigma and Operational Excellence, and other business PMOs. IT and business users utilize PowerSteering to achieve better portfolio results through improved alignment of resources against strategic priorities, increased executive visibility of project portfolios, and streamlined execution of project management activities.
Examples of the business benefits gained from PowerSteering's SaaS-based PPM capabilities include:
- BayCare Health System, which has reduced project cycle time by 25% across its network of 10 hospitals and over 18,000 team members;
- A business unit of GE, which was able to eliminate the redundant and non-strategic initiatives in their IT portfolio, comprising 10-15% of all projects;
- An HR manager at Praxair, who has regained one day a month by reducing the time necessary to track employee training
It is for these reasons that PowerSteering has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=606.
