Meet June, the medical services administrator for a small but busy clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is juggling several projects that help keep staff and physicians in step, but she is finding that hard to do using a complex spreadsheet that is getting as busy as the clinic's over-stuffed waiting room.
One of her patients (an engineer with a broken wrist) told her how his firm uses Microsoft Project for scheduling and tracking work. He then offered to send her a sample project file that might help her out. June was worried she didn't have the budget for that kind of software expense (after all, the OR needed a new surgical table this year), and her budget spreadsheet wasn't working, so she wasn't really sure.
To June's surprise, she found the free 30-day trial of Project Plan 365 when googling "low cost project management software that opens Microsoft Project files" - and she was off to the races! The first thing she did with her pal's MS Project template was to consolidate her budget data with her task & resource data within the app, and she immediately realized that the Project Plan 365: Standard (PM) Plan wouldn't break the bank, and savings on this purchase would make the prospect of buying a new operating-room table all the more feasible.
The moral of June's story is that she found Project Plan 365 super helpful (along with her MS Project buddy) in getting a new project plan up and running quickly, and she was delighted to show off the plan on her new Android tablet (squeaked from the newfound windfall in the budget).
