Within the UK business, Avis Europe is now able to capture a single view
of the company's top-20 product developments, make better investment and
pipeline decisions, while predicting programme dynamics with greater
accuracy. In addition, moving to a matrix management and matching their
available resources to their project workloads has improved processes across
the business.
Rollout of Avis Europe's CA Clarity PPM powered IT Programme Management
Office capability to other major European locations will take place during
the second half of 2010. The company runs operations in Europe, Africa, the
Middle East and Asia under the globally-recognised Avis and Budget brands via
more than 2,800 locations in 109 countries, as well as through wholly-owned
subsidiaries in 13 nations plus franchisees in another 96 countries.
Avis Europe Group CIO Adam Gerrard said, "Initially, we found a different
supplier's solution did not meet all our needs, so we reviewed the market and
selected CA Clarity PPM for its completeness, along with the ability to
implement the system rapidly out of the box."
He added, "CA and Sandhill listened to our needs and responded quickly
with attention to detail and within tight timescales. As a team, they have
been supportive of our business goals, working to resolve business challenges
and get the system up and running.
