The
Business
Sherston Software (www.sherston.com) is one of
the largest independent publishers of high-quality educational software
in the UK. Software development is undertaken at its two development
centres in India and from its UK head office.
The Challenge
With more than 50
software development staff in India, keeping track of
staffing across multiple projects was becoming a challenge.
Progress updates were collated manually and via spreadsheets.
This meant that management reports were often out-of-date
before they were completed, making budgetary control
difficult.
The
Solution
Sherston implemented Asta Teamplan for its project and
resource managers, and Asta Timesheet for its software development
staff. Asta’s Professional Services team provided customisation
and training support.

Results
The system provides visibility over project costs
and resources. This allows the management team to accurately monitor
progress
of each team member, optimise resource utilisation and tighten
budgetary control.
