Kaiser Aluminum, a leading producer of semi-fabricated aluminum products in Spokane Valley, Washington, needed a formal project management environment to better oversee complex project data and stakeholder communications. With over 3,000 employees, their IT department required a solution that could effectively manage projects while maintaining security compliance.

The implementation of ProjectManager provided Kaiser Aluminum with comprehensive project oversight capabilities. The platform’s flexible features and secure environment made it particularly attractive for managing their IT projects, especially after their experience with prohibitively expensive Microsoft Project desktop versions.

ProjectManager’s user-friendly interface revolutionized Kaiser’s workflow. The platform enables critical project tracking, secure file sharing, and efficient stakeholder reporting. The mobile functionality allows technicians to make task updates directly from the field, significantly improving data collection speed and accuracy.

The adoption of ProjectManager has brought substantial improvements to Kaiser’s operations. The company now effectively manages complex IT projects while maintaining SOX compliance for their publicly held status. The platform’s comprehensive features have proven so valuable that Kaiser Trentwood hopes to become a beta tester for new product development, aiming to expand ProjectManager’s use corporate-wide. Most importantly, the system’s efficiency directly impacts their production bonus structure, as improved project management translates to increased aluminum output.
