European Energy develops wind and solar energy projects and has recently started working with Power-to-X, which is the conversion of excess electricity into liquid fuels. This development means that the company needs better project and portfolio management.

European Energy needed a new project management and portfolio solution and a new tool for document and contract management. European Energy is experiencing strong growth in terms of the size of projects, the number of projects, and especially the geographical spread of energy parks. They were looking for a portfolio and project management tool. Thus, it was strategic for European Energy to have an IT solution where everything was centralized.

"Why did we need a new solution? Because the complexity is increasing, and so is our pipeline. So, to manage increased complexity and more and larger projects, we needed a qualified base to handle the growing complexity of our projects."

– Maja Rasmussen, Deputy Head of Projects at European Energy

Success for European Energy meant:

- A valuable pre-analysis to define solution options and scope to ensure optimal project start.

- A close and agile collaboration using Teams and Azure DevOps for transparency.

- Genuine engagement and professionalism from European Energy's management and key project participants.

- A manageable and user-friendly tool for project and portfolio management.

The solution should provide the following functions:

- PPM solution supporting project management from idea to project completion and providing a complete overview of projects and portfolios regarding progress, economics, risk management, etc.

- Linking projects with project documents for optimal user-friendliness (project and portfolio management).

- Automatic creation of project team websites with controlled document hierarchy and predefined templates.

- Automatic tagging upon document upload and access from both Teams and SharePoint

Minimization of Excel sheets.

"Now we have a large number of projects that we can follow more or less 'live.' Our new solution also supports our document management, including our contracts."

– Kristian Høeg Madsen, Head of Business Development at European Energy

"Previously, we had several different platforms that handled what we now have a single platform to handle. We had many different Excel sheets and platforms where project managers managed according to their models. We moved data around. Our new solution has 'the truth' in one place."

– Maja Rasmussen, Deputy Head of Projects at European Energy

Delegate's solution for European Energy has been delivered in close collaboration with our sister company in The Digital Neighborhood, Projectum.
