Project Management Solution with SharePoint

Client Overview

Rolls-Royce, a global leader in advanced engineering and manufacturing, required an efficient and modern project management solution to enhance its operations. The organization sought to replace outdated InfoPath forms and improve the user experience for its project management teams.

The Challenge

Rolls-Royce faced several challenges with their existing system:

Outdated Technology: InfoPath forms were becoming obsolete and lacked modern UI/UX capabilities.
Limited User Experience: SharePoint’s native UI in 2019 did not meet user expectations for a sleek, intuitive interface.
Manual Processes: Notifications and reminders were managed manually, leading to inefficiencies in tracking project progress.

Rolls-Royce needed a modern, user-friendly solution that would leverage their existing SharePoint environment while significantly improving usability and automation.

The Solution

Logisam developed a cutting-edge project management solution tailored to Rolls-Royce’s needs, leveraging SharePoint as the backend while delivering an exceptional user experience:

Custom User Interface:
Built with Bootstrap and SP.js, we created a sleek, modern interface that looked and felt like a standalone web application. The design ensured ease of use, quick navigation, and a visually engaging experience—transforming the perception of SharePoint.
Automated Workflows:
Using Power Automate, we implemented workflows for:
- Automated notifications and reminders to keep project managers on track.
- Alerts for critical deadlines and progress milestones.
Streamlined Project Tracking:
The solution allowed project managers to efficiently log, update, and report on project progress, providing a centralized view of all ongoing initiatives.

The Impact

Enhanced User Experience: The custom interface was praised for its intuitive and modern design, drastically improving user satisfaction.
Increased Efficiency: Automated workflows reduced manual effort and ensured timely updates and reminders.
Future-Proofing: By replacing InfoPath forms, Rolls-Royce moved to a scalable and supportable solution built on the Power Platform and SharePoint ecosystem.

Results

The project management solution transformed how Rolls-Royce managed and tracked their projects, delivering a powerful combination of usability, functionality, and automation.
