Labcore links over 500 employees at five laboratories for 3M's Specialty Film and Media division, improving ability to manage projects and content, and to collaborate, share and retrieve information
The Labcore project management software, configured for 3M's Six Sigma quality initiatives at the Film and Media division, was an instant hit and was embraced by users says P-Wave.
Labcore was the only choice that really focused on the daily users' experience - mimicking their workflows and how they do their jobs.
As a direct result, P-Wave's project tool was immediately adopted by 100% of the users.
Labcore's flexible project interface allows 3M to create and track virtually any project structure and all project information is in a searchable database.
This allows 3M to collaborate and share information across the organisation and increase productivity on projects without adding a painful and time/cost consuming change-management project.
Quality is the most important priority at 3M.
Project information for Six Sigma, laboratory or other special projects, developed around quality programmes, is 'priceless'.
The Labcore project management module enables 3M to leverage this information across the organisation so that employees worldwide can learn from it now and well into the future.
P-Wave's president and CEO, Mark Ferrero, is extremely pleased with how the Labcore system has been received by 3M: "We worked very hard from day one to make sure the user interface and workflow processes within the 3M Labcore project management module would provide an experience that kept users coming back for more.
"We know our hard work has paid off by the feedback we are receiving.
"It is all part of what makes Labcore different from those offered by other software companies in this marketplace.
"We discover how your company works and make sure that the Labcore software fits your processes.
"We made Labcore so easy to use, that your people are able to use the system immediately.
"This keeps implementation costs to a minimum and improves the whole user experience".
3M has continued to do business with P-Wave, awarding a second contract to add more functionality for their document and project management needs.
