Engineers play it safe with InLoox, the project management system within Microsoft Outlook

The eska Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH was established in 1993 and is specialized in four main areas of business: management of hazardous substances, management of hazardous freight, water-based coolant emulsions and research projects. In addition to its expert knowledge in traditional areas, eska has a wide-ranging partner network on its disposal to broaden its range of activity and complete its international presence.

Background

"A key factor in our plans to professionalize our project management was a workshop particularly on this topic“, says Joachim Boenisch, general manager of eska. The first idea following this tutorial was to program our own project management software and combine it with Outlook."

The Project

Exactly at the same time InLoox caught the attention of Joachim Boenisch. The software implements the requested features correct to a dot: InLoox integrates itself into Microsoft Outlook. The demo version of InLoox soon convinced eska's specialists. Many tests were made and influenced the decision firmly in favour of InLoox, so shortly after the software entered regular operation. "InLoox is the right project management system for all our assignments, being flexible, straightforward and logical to operate. InLoox adjusts itself to the company's workflow, increasing the transparency and effectiveness of projects both by 60% and 20% compared to the past."

Joachim Boenisch especially appreciates the security provided by project scheduling regarding cost-benefit equation. The project history supplies important information for future projects. "Since we are using InLoox, we've been able to give fast, precise planning, costing and project transparency to our well-known customers at the push of a button. The Excel readouts produced by the report generator are a major contributing factor," are Joachim Boenisch's enthusiastic words about the efficiency of InLoox, which is currently in use at eska on a system consisting of one server and five clients.
