We could probably talk a lot about the capability of the application but GroupCamp's killer feature is probably its simplicity.

Ludovic Magne - Senior Business Consultant Nokia Siemens Networks
We like the usability of GroupCamp and the best point, clients started using it right away! The feedback over the last 3 weeks has been great.
Matt Clark - Damang Media
What we did not want was a highly complex tool which no one would use. GroupCamp Project works for every one, the certified Project manager and the non-expert regular user.
Abdallah Ahamada - General manager DI Network(Paris, FRANCE) - Read the full customer story
We like how the Files applications is easy to use to manage versions and the follower system for comments.

Olivier Hersent - CEO Actility
Our main business is in designing rich applications for new media: Web, TV, Smartphones and Tablets. Having perfect communication channels between our internal teams and our customers is key. The Project Apps from GroupCamp has helped us achieve higher performance internally and we’re happy to say that we are more responsive to customers thanks to it
Guillaume Bonneault - MyStudioFactory
Vedicis is a high-tech company with international Operations, Sales teams and partners working in different time zones.
We have known the GroupCamp team for some time. They explained the product and how it could be of help to us. I must say that when you are dealing with several customer projects, it can help save a considerable amount of time. We have people working with us all over Europe and it took us only a couple of days to get everybody on board.
Théodore Martin - CEO Vedicis
We did not know that this kind of web-based tool existed. For entrepreneurs it’s never easy to set up this kind of solution. Plus, when you are collaborating with multiple companies, and you do not meet on a daily basis, things tend to get complicated with endless emails and conference calls. This is the best way to make sure that everyone is on the same page. We are perfectly synced on the tasks that need to be achieved. It’s great to feel that you are no longer wasting your time.
René Marhem - Diag2i
It's just another way of addressing teamwork. I personnally love the email integration and the ease with which I can comment regular tasks, discussions and files without having to sign into my account but just with a reply to an email.
Fabio Ferrari - SYMBIOFCELL
I work in the music business. When you work with multiple collaborators most of them abroad, you need efficient coordination and quick project tracking. I use GroupCamp because it's simple and I can work more effectively and save time... and because costs matters more to an entrepreneur, money.
Bertrand Chauvet - Music Composer, Producer and High-tech Consultant.
The tool is flexible and efficient. It's just great service. Thank you !
Dejan Mitrovic - CEO Dialogues
We were looking for an online project tool with the ability to manage our deadlines for coursework and have a unique space to gather all our comments, discussions and documents. The basic requirement was strong email integration: the ability to notify users for uploaded files and comments.
Luca, Simon, Ludo, Mohamed, Christian, CASS Executive MBA Program
We really recommend GroupCamp’s Project pack for consulting companies like ours especially for shared projects with customers. We were rapidly convinced by the service and the Support team is very responsive.
Sydney Tekam, CEO TECH-AM Engineering
Padeleon is a start-up company with remote R&D and sales teams. We spend a great deal of time in conference calls and we had been looking for a simple online tool to help share specification documents and assign tasks to developers. We were thrilled to know Project from GroupCamp exists and we now use it to manage customer projects. It’s a great tool to discuss our custom proposals online and we now get back to customers in much less time than before.
Michael Nakam - Padeleon
We have used Project from GroupCamp over the past year for all aspects of Mime en Mai which is a cultural event held once every year. The event has been a success and that’s because the three staff members were perfectly in sync on common goals and project schedule throughout the year. GroupCamp’s project tool is very easy to use and the user interface very intuitive. We have been much more efficient than in previous editions especially in managing our collaboration with artists, volunteers and our various suppliers. It’s really a joy to use and we have saved so much time.

Guest: Ludovic Magne, Senior Consultant at NSN
Published 21st of October 2010
NSN Consulting is the consulting group of Nokia Siemens Network, a major company which sells telecoms infrastructure to operators and service providers across the globe.
What were we looking for ?
Our group provides strategic consulting to leading telecoms operators in Europe. The teams are based in different locations. When we provide consultancy to a customer we need to be synced with the Customer team and all senior business analysts or subject matter experts within our group.
How do we use GroupCamp Project ?
Consultancy work for an operator usually starts with a Statement of Work provided with associated milestones and deliverables. Based on this statement of work the Project Manager decides what consulting resources will be needed for the project. We then send out invitations to the relevant analysts to join a new online project on GroupCamp. The role of the Project Manager is then to set the different milestones for the delivery of the consultancy mission. This involves active tasks management and monitoring.
What we like the most about Project ?
We could probably talk a lot about the capability of the application but GroupCamp's killer feature is probably its simplicity. Every new consultant that we invite to a project is usually up to speed very quickly and most of the time without going through all the available online resources. And time is usually a scarce resource for consulting projects.
Our consultants come from different internal groups and contribute from very different time zones. Our main challenge is to obtain the buy-in of senior consultants who are used to very different methods and project tools. It is never easy to accomodate everyone's methodology and we obviously do not have time to provide detailed training sessions. What is great about the GroupCamp Project pack is that it is a perfect common denominator to all common project practices. It's very easy to get someone on board and have them contribute immediately after a kick-off call.
What next?
We will probably be adding partner consulting companies to join specific projects using the multi-company feature. We are also looking into the Timelog app to have a consolidated view of the time we spend.

Guest: Olivier Hersent, CEO Actility
Published 21st of October 2010
Actility is a smartgrid and Machine-to-Machine technology vendor based in Paris. Actility uses Project by GroupCamp for marketing and customer opportunities.
What were we looking for ?
We were looking for an online tool to organize senior corporate management and internal marketing work. The Actility team travels a lot and email is not a good tool to have a clear view of on-going projects.
How do we use GroupCamp Project ?
The Marketing activity for Actility involves market analysis, competitive research, and corporate funding.
We upload a significant amount of files, especially the marketing collaterals we are currently building. This includes Solution Overview presentations and Sales tools containing the key messages for our solutions. We use specific projects to share information with the R&D team members based in different offices. Our corporate project includes discussions on business cases and market sizing. This implies a very significant amount of spreadsheets in multiple versions that need to be commented between the CEO and the business teams.
What we like the most about Project ?
We like how the Files applications is easy to use to manage versions and the follower system for comments and updates.
What next?
We are looking into the multi-company feature for customer projects where we need to be working closely with project managers from customer organizations.
Our customers share their experience with GroupCamp products.
Guest: Bruno Abramatic, COO of InWebo
Published 13th of October 2010
In-Webo is a French technology company specializing in two-factor authentication to allow users to log into their online accounts, for instance their online banking service, with strong, enhanced authentication. In-Webo has engineers, product and sales managers that are based in different offices. In-Webo uses Project by GroupCamp to synchronize product development work with enhanced task management.
What were we looking for ?
We were looking for a web-based service that would allow us to synchronize all teams on product development tasks. Our basic product development work is simple: Sales and Product managers share Powerpoint presentations about new opportunities and product datasheets. Product Managers and engineers then share feature list documents and detailed specifications. All shared files come in multiple versions so we needed some form of versioning system.
How do we use GroupCamp Project ?
The product team is in charge of collecting new ideas and requests and shaping them into product requirements. The first requirement document is rapidly shared with the solution architects who use the comment system to provide feedback on the initial request. Our documents are usually linked to a discussion and all followers of a discussion, including Sales managers, are notified by email and can provide inputs on the priority level for every major feature. File versioning is obviously a key feature here.
What we like the most about Project ?
We like the email integration of the system. Being able to work directly from our email is great. When you come to think of it, it's really very simple. Every participant in a project receives an email with the file being commented and the latest comments. All we need to do is reply directly and every follower is updated.
What next?
We are lacking a collaborative writing solution. We need to publish all major product rules and parameters on pages that are built like an intranet. We need the ability to co-edit pages and have some form of revision history.

CASS Executive MBA Study Group
(Simon, Luca, Christian, Ludo and the rest of their team)
Dated 12th of October 2010
A study Group of the London Cass MBA is actively using Project to manage their group work. Christian, Luca, Simon and their team explain how a group of senior managers based in different countries lead their business/professional lives while staying fully synced with a highly demanding MBA program.
What were we looking for ?
We are a group of 6 people. Courses started beginning of May and we have now reached 8 projects within Project. We are all managers living in different countries. We only meet once every month for 4 days. Ever since our first meeting as a study group, the question of an online tool which we could use has been raised
We were looking for an online project tool with the ability to manage our deadline for coursework and have a unique place gathering all our comments, discussions and documents . The basic requirement was strong email integration : the ability to notify users for uploaded files and comments.
How do we use GroupCamp Project ?
What we have today in Project is basically one project per module. The way we work is we start by defining milestones. Then for each of our assignments we have a project manager. He is the one who owns milestones and assigns tasks. The main applications we use are Files sharing with associated comments by email but also discussion topics.
What next?
We are now very eager to see the WIKI-like application plus the iPad and mobile version of Project.
