The Groop: $1 million/year in additional productivity
Leading design firm uses PBworks to make employees and contractors more productive
"PBworks brings up the quality of information our people can absorb," said Summer Swigart, Lead Software Engineer. "It's increased information flow and brought down overhead, giving us more time for billable work. Our 50 users spend more time on billable projects as opposed to asking, 'Where's the project?' or 'How do I connect to the Internet?'"
"We're getting $1 million per year in additional productivity."
Design Commission: $2,000/month for a 6-person firm
Award-winning Seattle boutique chooses PBworks over the competition
"We figure that we save on the order of an hour per week for each of our six team members," said David Conrad, Co-founder. "And we hope it will be more than that in the long run. Conservatively, we're improving productivity at least $2,000 per month."
Capgemini: Cutting email volume 90%
Leading consulting firm uses PBworks to coordinate with mega-partners
"Using PBworks cut down our email by 90%," noted Richard Fahey of Capgemini's Business Intelligence practice. "Everyone had the latest version of each document, knew what changes were made when and by whom. Everyone received updates on changes which kept them fully informed of the project status. It's a much more efficient, secure and transparent way of working."
RD2: PBworks client collaboration pays for itself in less than half a day
Making PBworks an integral part of managing clients
"We can have a team of six on the account, with eight people on the client side. All of them need to collaborate with each other on the content. With 48 combinations all being funneled through two project managers, you have a lot of room for error," Chris Ronan, President of RD2 said. "When a problem happens, you take half that team at $150 per hour for half a day, and that's $4,200 right there. You're already talking about more than the cost of a year of PBworks."
Deloitte Digital: Cutting the effort required for document collaboration by 90%
Working faster with better results using PBworks
"Using PBworks cut the editing process down 90%," said Peter Williams, CEO. "Usually, there's almost a week of edits, reviews, and rewrites, and that just disappeared. We spent more time developing and thinking about the plan, rather than running around like headless chickens dealing with the last-minute mayhem of Word documents with track changes everywhere. You can't even read the bloody thing! The workspace made it really easy."
