Sumicsid SPRL (Case Study)

Founded in 1993, Sumicsid is made up of three firms with offices in Sweden, Belgium and Denmark. The employees that make up the company are active in the research, analysis and control of efficiency, regulation and risk. Though originally a consulting firm, Sumicsid now also engages in project management and client training.

Sumicsid -- A Data Driven Organization  

Sumicsid is a company built upon research. As experts in the risk management domain, they have a strong need to organize and share data internally. This critical activity is made even more challenging by the structure of the company, with three separate offices in three countries. The data used by the firm is far from static. Employees must update, comment upon and further iterate to ensure they are thought leaders in the risk management space. Without an online collaboration tool, this would require a large number of emails being sent back and forth. The employees of Sumicsid also need a way to transfer their knowledge and completed projects to clients, also located in multiple locations throughout Europe. This must be done both securely and an intuitive, scalable manner.

Enter WorkSmart - and Increased Efficiency

Sumicsid turns to WorkSmart for both their internal and external collaboration needs. WorkSmart helps them achieve their goals in three main areas:
1. Project Management
2. Collaborating with Clients and
