Terry Lawson is not a fan of Open Workbench. In this article Terry explains why, in his opinion, this open source offering cannot seriously compete with MS Project.
Yet a number of organisations in the UK - and not just small ones - have rolled-out Workbench. But why?
In his article Terry Lawson goes to the heart of the matter, giving Open Workbench a close examination. He argues that free Workbench is keeping the company’s Financial Director happy while Project Managers are left struggling with a demonstrably sub-standard and inflexible scheduling engine... Result: the balance sheet looks better, but the less visible cost of project management inefficiencies and wasted time go unnoticed.

There is no typical client profile. Although many of our customers are large blue chip organisations, many are also small and medium-sized companies. However, what they all share in common is a requirement for faultless delivery of their projects. With increasingly controlled budgets it has become even more critical that strategic change is implemented without waste or unnecessary work. Our interventions typically cover the duration of a project but Project Managers can be brought on-board at any time to temporarily supplement your delivery capability.
