Company | Modea
Modea is a full-service interactive agency that provides advertising and web services for companies like
T-Mobile, Graco, and Newell Rubbermaid.
The Business Problem
As Modea grew from three or four employees to nearly twenty, it became more and more difficult to keep track
of projects and accountability. They looked at simple and inexpensive tools like Basecamp in the beginning,
eventually graduating to MS Project for a six-month product test. However, MS Project and Project Server proved
to be inadequate.
Modea was looking for a web-based tool that would allow their organization
to continue to grow without the need of purchasing additional hardware or
expanding their IT department. They wanted to take advantage of the latest
Web 2.0 technologies with a tool that facilitated collaboration and project
accountability with a tool that team members would want to use.
The Solution
@task on-demand was the best choice for Modea. When comparing @task to other web-based tools like Daptiv,
"@task appeared to be more up-to-date than Daptiv," says Marc St Raymond. "We really liked the way they took advantage of the latest web technologies."
Modea felt @task provided the project management toolset they needed now, along with more sophisticated
functionality that they could "grow into." They also felt @task’s quarterly update schedule meant they would
always be using the most cutting-edge project management software.
The Result
@task allows members of the project teams to collaborate on tasks without the need for lengthy status meetings
and provides complete project accountability on every project. The user-friendly interface allowed Modea to hit
the ground running and start managing all their projects within two weeks of implementation.
Adoption has been a complete success.
"Our project team members want to use @task," says St Raymond. "It helps them manage tasks and update
status without being a burden. Everyone at Modea uses @task."
How Modea Achieved the Results
"The one-hour training we received initially was very helpful," says St Raymond. "That was all we really needed to
get up and running."
St Raymond feels @task will continue to benefit Modea as they mature as an organization.
