Most enterprise teams use 13 or more different point solutions to manage their work. As a result, work and data is scattered, causing major disconnects between teams and their work. What these teams don't realize, however, is how much that disconnection is costing them in the long run. View this SlideShare to see what disconnected tools, teams, and processes is costing you and how you can avoid it.

1. BUILDING A BUSINESS CASE FOR
ENTERPRISE WORK MANAGEMENT
The Unnerving Cost of Disconnected Work:

2. Work is more chaotic than ever
Most enterprise teams are plagued by various types
of work chaos:
• Too many emails and status
meetings
• Using 5+ tools
• Wasting time hunting updates
• Catering to the squeaky
wheel
• Putting out fires
• Random work requests

3. Enterprises try hard to manage the chaos
• Using more point solutions
• Trying out industry trends
• Hiring consultants
The average consultant costs $125/hr or $1,000/day
• Buying on-premises solutions
• Implementing web-based or
SaaS tools
• Adding headcount
One additional employee costs an average of $78,000/yr

4. The real problem is a lack of visibility
• 76% of companies say their biggest
priority is to improve the visibility
and awareness of projects across
the organization.
• Enterprise Work Management (EWM)
provides companies with the
visibility they need to improve
productivity in terms of efficiency
and effectiveness.

5. Quantifying efficiency gains from EWM:
The calculations used in the table are based on a 30-person team with an average blended rate of $70. Both the monthly estimated costs and gains are based on research and real customer experiences with
AtTask EWM.
* McKinsey study found employees spend 28% of time on email
** PMI study shows 33% of budget is unrecoverable when a project fails and that average budget is $4.1 million

6. Evaluating effectiveness gains from EWM:
The outcomes described are based on real customer experiences with the AtTask EWM solution.

7. Assessing the value potential of EWM:
The global visibility offered by AtTask Enterprise Work Management delivers value to every
level of the enterprise. It allows:
• Senior managers to see the justification for projects and resources needed
• Managers to align projects with strategic goals and create more efficiency
• Enterprise workers to be more productive and creative

8. Customer experiences with AtTask:
"The value I get from AtTask is the
data to market IT. We're running 40
active projects at any given time.
95% of those are within budget.
That's a pretty good story. I couldn't
say that without making up the
numbers until now."
Kim Jacques
CIO
"We work with 50 to 75 different
requesters across the country; they
don't work down the hall. Most of
them work all over the United
States… The way AtTask works,
being so conversational, we aren't
losing time over deciphering emails.
It's very much working like an in-
person conversation would."
Erin Frey
SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER
"Our best engineers are gaining 20
or 30% more time behind the CAD
station, innovating. Our fill rates, our
ability to see what's going on in the
supply chain and understand what
our year's going to look like, are
worth millions of dollars to the
company."
