Multinational Insurance Company reduced onboarding time by 50%

Introduction

A multinational insurance company’s Finance PMO was tasked with overseeing dozens of transformation initiatives, from 

 to cost optimization programs. With multiple stakeholders and strict regulatory deadlines, the CFO’s office needed a connected workspace that could unify project oversight, simplify onboarding, and ensure accountability across all finance workstreams.

Challenge

The Finance PMO struggled with fragmented tools and processes:

• Teams relied on separate spreadsheets, emails, and chat apps, creating silos.

• Onboarding new project managers was slow due to complex, inconsistent systems.

• Task management lacked clarity, leading to missed deadlines.

• Sensitive financial data was stored across unsecured platforms, raising compliance risks.

• Communication was scattered, making it difficult to track decisions and discussions.

These issues undermined efficiency and exposed the organization to regulatory and financial risks.

The Finance PMO implemented Project Management by Acedboard as its unified workspace:
