European Training Foundation

The European Training Foundation (ETF) is a European Union agency that helps countries neighbouring the EU to reform their education and training systems as part of EU external relations policies. ETF work with various regions across the globe juggling many different project workloads from different countries.

Following the creation of a modern digitisation strategy that highlighted low-code development as the technology of choice and Microsoft as the technology vendor of choice to optimise project management, ETF partnered with Storm Technology.

ETF's legacy project management solution was custom built to meet the unique nature of ETF's project management processes. ETF required a solution that delivered the same level of detail but also more flexibility and a user-friendly interface for employees to transition more easily. Having first trialled Microsoft's Project for Web, ETF discovered a need for more advanced functionality and greater flexibility which led to Projectum's Power PPM, a project and portfolio management solution built on Microsoft's Power Platform.

The introduction of Power PPM has allowed ETF to consolidate its complex project management processes in a single solution and optimise overall project planning and resource allocation. The solution also acts as a source verification of ETF's spending and project activities, essential for ETF as a public body. Power PPM also helped ETF enhance reporting capabilities with Power BI delivering real-time project data on demand.
