“Clarizen allows us to move from the realm of anecdotal evidence, where people know they are busy but struggle to clearly show their workloads, and into an environment of greater awareness about what actually has to be done!”

Will BuchananPMO, PeopleAdmin

“Everyone was able to jump in and use it with relative speed. Folks that don’t have project management responsibilit ies can interact but do not need licenses. Clarizen has done a good job of replicating MS Project without putting in the overhead. When compared with MS Project Server at 2 years, Clarizen came in at less just in terms of the infrastructure costs.”
